The Software Heritage (SWH) badge is a permanent "save point" for your project. You'll need it because it’s permanent and in the case of GitHub ever goes down or the repo is accidentally deleted, the project's code is safely stored in a universal, non-profit archive forever. (the badges indicate even if there are changes)

It’s citable: It provides a permanent, version-specific link (SWHID) that won't break, which is essential for professional or academic credit.

It shows quality: It signals to users that your project is built for the long haul and follows open-source best practices. Most of all think of it as an insurance policy and a permanent library card for the projects code.

p.s i am an SH ambassador that uses meshcore and catalogued it so that at least there is a redundant save point.
