An Alpha User is a forum user that went through the Alpha Onboarding process.
For this, the user will need to burn a number of SHIB tokens, worth around 1 US dollar. By doing this, the user will become member of the Alpha group, and gain access to the following perks.
-
Propose any project published in the Dog Show, to call for a vote. This vote will ask for the community to approve the project to become part of the
Dog Park, 
SHIBA Business or 
Friends of SHIBA. Read the Shiba Realms introduction to learn more. -
Alphas have access to the forum’s integrated chat system, allowing you to talk directly with other Alphas.
-
Alpha users have access to The Table, an exclusive forum category where Alphas can talk more privately about the new projects, and vote for them.
-
Vote for any open important proposal. While anyone can create polls, only votes in The Table are relevant for the forum.
-
Alpha users will be able to call for votes to create new sub-categories under the category Extra.
And more types of vote, currently in study.
Additionally, any contest made by the Shibernetics team will pick winners from Alphas.
Your Alpha status is a privilege that will last, at most, one year. Read more about it on Terms and Conditions.
