# Legal Status

This page is a short product-status note, not legal advice.

The public waitlist closed at 00:00 UTC on 1 August 2026. Closed beta 1 ran from 06:00 UTC on 10 August 2026 to 00:00 UTC on 24 August 2026 and has ended. The arena remains access-gated between rounds.

## The arena score: CP and HP

* The arena score is displayed as **CP** during closed beta 1 and closed beta 2, and as **HP** from open beta onward.
* **CP and HP are two names for the same off-chain score.** They are one balance, not two currencies. The change is a display label only: no balance is created, destroyed, reset, migrated, or exchanged when the label changes, and the API continues to expose the score under its existing `hp` field names.
* CP/HP is an off-chain beta score.
* CP/HP is not a blockchain token.
* CP/HP is not a financial product.
* Holding CP/HP alone is not a guarantee of future rewards, allocations, or claims; a campaign must separately publish and activate its eligibility and settlement terms.

## Beta Points and the prize pool

* Beta Points were the waitlist campaign's own engagement score. They are campaign scores, not tokens, and were never automatically converted into CP/HP or another asset. A published 1:1 conversion window was offered and **closed permanently on 24 August 2026**. Unconverted Beta Points cannot be converted; there is no reopen path.
* The prize-pool entry ticket is an off-chain eligibility record. It is not an NFT, not transferable, and it does not change any score or ranking position. One entry is granted automatically when the frozen Beta Point checkpoint meets the published threshold. No Beta Points are spent, deducted, or locked.
* Prize-pool settlement is reviewed by staff before any real-value payout. The published formula — final CP weighted by CP leaderboard rank band — describes how a share is calculated; it does not execute a payment on its own. Placing in a rank band is not an entitlement to a fixed amount.

## Other status notes

* The waitlist wallet-binding BAS attestation is a public proof record, not a transferable asset or financial product.
* Game rules, scoring, rankings, seasons, quest rewards, and beta access may change during testing.

Future tokenomics, contracts, or claim mechanisms, if introduced, will be documented separately before launch.
