What is a Wire Coin?

The Wire Coins are a way in which we say thank you for your activity on WireUp!
All the small clicks you make when doing a friend request, reacting or commenting on a post, and so on, will earn you Wire Coins.
The Wire Coins are converted to achievements with which you can brag to your friends and connections.
How many actions does it take to earn badges?
Depending on the difficulty of the achievements, we have set up some steps required to earn the badge, together with a specific number of Wire Coins for each step.
Also, we have some special achievements awarded for collecting some other badges “hidden” in our WireUp quest for awesomeness!
Please see the list below with the achievement levels and the number of Wire Coins needed to take the crown:
