Badge issuers MAY include some Proof of Work as per NIP-13 when minting Badge Definitions or Badge Awards to embed them with a combined energy cost, arguably making them more special and valuable for users that wish to collect them.

The idea to use PoW for badges was misguided.

The reference to PoW in the NIP-58 Badges spec was removed in the meantime: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/909
