Medals are awarded to Agents as they reach set milestones.

There are up to 5 Tiers of available for most medals: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Onyx (Black). Each Tier requires more and more work than the previous.

Achieving Access Levels[]

Main article: Access Level

Medals are needed to achieve Agent Access Levels L9-L16. Typically acquiring sufficient Gold medals for Levels L11-L13 is the hardest part.

The Agent Stats website (agent-stats.com) can predict, based on your recent activity, when you will achieve the next tiered medals, and also when you might level up.

Special Medal Types[]

One Time Medals/Badges[]

These Medals can only be gained by Agents during specific times. They have no Tiers and cannot be used to level up.

Verified-medal
Verified-medal is a special medal awarded to Agents that verified their account via e-mail. This verification needed to occur upon hitting Level 2, as the interface would stop collecting XM and the inventory would be limited to 100 items. As of September 2015, verification was permanently removed from Ingress and the item cap is currently 2 000 for all Agent levels.
 
Founder-medal
Founder-medal is a special medal awarded to Agents that were supporting Ingress from early on. This medal does not have Tiers like the others but is something that every Agent is displaying proudly on their profiles. The Founder-medal was only achievable on the 14. December 2013 and only for Agents that were L5+.
 
Simulacrum-medal
Simulacrum-medal is a special medal awarded to recursed Agents. The Simulacrum-medal was achievable since the 06. November 2018 along with the introduction of recursion feature.
 
C.O.R
C.O.R.E.-badge is a special badge awarded to Agents who has subscribed at least once to the C.O.R.E. membership. Earnable since 05. February 2021, it is only earned once, even if the Agent has subscribed for multiple months.

Mission "Medals"[]

Main article: Mission

Mission-"medals" are rewarded for the first completion of any Mission. They are are not medals in the traditional sense but rather tokens attesting to the successful completion of the Mission. Mission-"medals" have no tiers, can only be earned once, do not help with leveling and are displayed seperately on the Agent's profile below the Agent's medals & badges and above their stats. Every area has its own set of Missions and, thus, "medals" for them.
