what's BadgeLender?

BadgeLender is a trustless NFT rental protocol built on the Abstract blockchain. It specializes in renting ABSOCKS, an ERC-1155 NFT collection, allowing users to claim the "Sock Master" badge on Abstract's rewards platform without purchasing the NFT outright. Users connect a compatible wallet (e.g., Abstract Global Wallet), post refundable collateral (around 0.2 ETH) plus a service fee (0.005 ETH), instantly receive the NFT, claim the badge to earn XP, and return the NFT within one hour for a full refund. Late returns trigger escalating penalties (5% per hour), enforcing timely use. The system is fully on-chain, with no intermediaries, real-time activity tracking, and support for various login methods.
