Mastchain Beta Test

TL;DR

The Mastchain Beta Test is a live testing phase used to validate rewards, performance, security, and stability before full production launch. It uses the testnet token tMAST and exists to refine the system.

What Is the Beta Test?

The Mastchain Beta Test is a controlled testing environment where real stations interact with the network under real conditions.

Its purpose is to observe how the system behaves at scale and identify areas that need adjustment before mainnet launch.

What Is Being Tested?

During beta, Mastchain is actively evaluating:

  • Reward mechanics
  • System performance
  • Security protections
  • Network stability

This includes how hex rewards function, how bonds behave, and how the network handles real-world usage patterns.

Why Beta Exists

Beta provides an opportunity to:

  • Detect bugs
  • Tune parameters
  • Improve reliability
  • Harden security

Changes may occur during beta as results are analyzed.

Token Used in Beta

The beta test uses the testnet token: tMAST.

tMAST is for testing purposes and allows the system to simulate real economic behavior without exposing the mainnet economy.

What Beta Is Not

Beta is not final.

Values, thresholds, and mechanics may change based on testing results.

FAQ — Mastchain Beta Test

Is beta using real tokens?

No.Beta uses tMAST, a testnet token with no mainnet value.

Can parameters change during beta?

Yes.

Reward rates, thresholds, and mechanics may change as testing data is analyzed.

Is beta stable?

Beta is expected to be mostly functional, but occasional issues may occur.

This phase exists specifically to identify and fix problems.

Why not wait until everything is perfect before launch?

Because real-world usage uncovers issues that cannot be fully simulated.

Beta allows those issues to be discovered safely.

Should I treat beta as production?

You should treat beta as testing, not as a finalized system.

Expect changes.

What kind of feedback is useful?
