# Beta Overview
Snake OS is **open access** — anyone can register, accept the Terms, and play. The first 20 wallets to accept the Terms get the permanent **BETA badge** + every market item granted free for the pre-launch period.
## The OG Badge
* **20 slots** for the permanent BETA badge
* Claimed atomically on TOS-accept (not on first connect)
* Disconnecting before accepting doesn't burn a slot
* Slot 21+ users register normally — no badge, no free items, but full app access
* The 20 BETA badges are **permanent and non-transferable** — they identify the original closed-beta cohort forever
## Why 20?
The closed-beta cap was originally a tester limit for focused early-day feedback. After validating the core loop with the OG cohort, we opened registration to everyone — but kept the badge cap intact to honor the OG promise. The 20 BETA badges become a permanent historical artifact of the very first cohort.
## What Open Access Tests
The beta period continues — we're now validating:
* ✅ PvP escrow + race-safety at higher concurrency
* ✅ Wallet flow scaling (Phantom, Solflare, MWA inside dApp Store app)
* ✅ UI fit across mobile in-app browsers (Phantom, Solflare, Safari, Chrome)
* ✅ Anti-cheat at real player volume
* ✅ Friend/PvP-invite/rematch flows
* ✅ Achievement + reward eligibility surfaces
* ✅ ORACLE / DEGEN / SNIPE integration with trustfi + DexScreener
* ✅ Treasury balance + refund flows
* ✅ Onboarding for users joining via Solana Mobile dApp Store
## What Beta Period Is NOT
* ❌ A token-launch event (token is W3, not now)
* ❌ A guarantee of token rewards from beta play (placeholders only — see [Token Status](/token/status.md))
* ❌ A polished post-launch experience (some PNGs may 404, some flows may be rough)
