# Closed Beta

During our Closed Beta the BSD protocol will operate normally as described in these docs with the following exceptions:

## Global Collateral Cap

Current cap: 500,000 USD of sBTC

The total amount of sBTC collateral that can be deposited across all vaults is capped. When creating a new vault or adding collateral, your transaction cannot cause the total value of sBTC deposited in the protocol to exceed this cap.

## Access

Only specific whitelisted Stacks principles can interact with the protocol and web app.
