## In short

SaTT is in [public alpha](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#alpha): crypto runs on BNB Smart Chain [testnet](https://satt.com/guides/glossary#testnet) and dollars run in test mode, so nothing you do costs real money. For crypto, install a wallet, switch to BNB Testnet, get free test BNB from the BNB Chain faucet and 10,000 tSaTT on [Public alpha](https://satt.com/alpha); for dollars, sign in and add test funds.

## What can you test in the alpha?

Every feature is open: creating and funding AdPools, linking social accounts, submitting posts, Quests, gigs and claims, in both editions.

- **Crypto edition**: test SaTT (tSaTT), test USDT and test USDC on BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chain id 97).
- **Dollar edition**: test dollars and a simulated withdrawal (minimum $20).

Fees follow the real rules (5% for tSaTT pools, 15% otherwise), so the amounts you see are the ones mainnet would use.

## How do you set up crypto testing, step by step?

1. **Install a wallet** — Install MetaMask or another wallet; see [Crypto wallets](https://satt.com/wallets) for options.
2. **Switch to BNB Testnet** — Connect the wallet on satt.com and pick **BNB Testnet** from the network menu.
3. **Get free test BNB** — Request test BNB at the official faucet (https://www.bnbchain.org/en/testnet-faucet). It pays the network fees of your test transactions.
4. **Get test SaTT** — On [Public alpha](https://satt.com/alpha), press **Get 10,000 tSaTT**. The tokens arrive in your wallet within seconds.
5. **Create or join a pool** — As an advertiser open [Create](https://satt.com/create) → Crypto; as a creator open a pool in [Explore](https://satt.com/explore), link your account, post, submit the link and claim.

## How do you test the dollar edition?

1. Sign in at [Sign in](https://satt.com/login) with your e-mail and turn on two-factor authentication in your account security settings.
2. Add test funds from your [Dashboard](https://satt.com/dashboard), then create a dollar pool on Create.
3. As a creator, link your account, submit a post on the pool page and watch the reward appear in your activity.
4. Try a simulated withdrawal: the minimum is $20.

## How do you report a bug?

Send the page URL, what you did, what you expected, what happened, a screenshot and your wallet address or e-mail to the Telegram community (https://t.me/satttoken) or contact@satt.com.

> **Warning:** Never send real tokens to a testnet address and never share your wallet’s secret recovery phrase, even with support. See [Wallet security tips](https://satt.com/guides/tips/wallet-security-tips).

## Key takeaways

- The alpha uses BNB Smart Chain Testnet and test dollars: no real money.
- Get test BNB from the BNB Chain faucet for transaction fees.
- Get 10,000 tSaTT on /alpha with a connected wallet.
- Simulated dollar withdrawals start at $20.

## Frequently asked questions

### Are test tokens worth anything?

No. tSaTT, test USDT, test USDC and test dollars have no value and cannot be exchanged for real money.

### Why does the faucet transaction fail?

Usually because the wallet has no test BNB for fees or is not on BNB Testnet. Get test BNB, switch network and try again.

### Will my alpha results carry over to mainnet?

No. Test balances and testnet pools stay on testnet; mainnet pools are funded with real tokens or real dollars.
