Alpha Specifications
Since this the alpha version of our platform, your possibilities of usage will be extended. It will run on the RINKEBY Test Network so no worries about having funds on your wallet.
On the “BBST Token” tab, you can mint as much BBST Tokens as you need so you can fully experience the platform. As said before, rewards were meant to be given every week. On this version, you can claim rewards every day after midnight on the same tab used to mint your BBST Tokens.
