# The BETA Badge

The BETA badge is the **most exclusive item in Snake OS**. Only 20 wallets in history will ever have it.

## How to Get It

1. Connect your wallet during the closed-beta window
2. Accept the Terms of Service
3. Be among the first 20 wallets to do so

That's it. The slot is claimed atomically on TOS-accept (not on connect) — so disconnecting before accepting doesn't burn a slot.

## What It Does

* Permanent green **BETA** chip displays next to your username in:
  * Friends list
  * Global chat
  * Leaderboard
  * Anywhere usernames are rendered
* It cannot be transferred, sold, or removed
* It cannot be earned after the closed-beta cap is hit
* It survives all future leaderboard resets and account migrations

## Why It Matters

Beyond the cosmetic flex, the BETA badge is:

* **Public proof of being OG** — anyone scanning the chat or leaderboard sees who shipped early
* **Implicit airdrop signal** (post-launch) — we'll prioritize BETA OGs for any future drops via treasury buyback distributions
* **Bragging rights** — when Snake OS scales to thousands of players, the 20 BETA badges become a closed historical artifact

The BETA program closes the moment slot #20 is claimed. There's no second chance.
