Alpha status & limits
Stasho is in alpha. This page is the honest version of what that means: what's capped, what's rough, what might change under you, and how to tell us when something breaks.
Reporting bugs & feedback
Email hello@stasho.xyz. Helpful details:
- The wallet address you signed in with (so we can find your projects)
- What you did, what you expected, what happened instead
- A screenshot, and the time it happened (with timezone)
Feedback on confusing flows is as valuable as bug reports — if you had to read a doc twice, tell us.
Quotas
Per-wallet limits during the alpha:
| Limit | Value | Resets |
|---|---|---|
| Projects | 20 | Never (lifetime cap) |
| Deploys | 100 per day | UTC midnight |
| Pinned data | 1 GB per day | UTC midnight |
| Single upload | 50 MB per artifact | — |
Hitting a quota returns a clear error in the dashboard (and a 429 from the API). If a limit is genuinely in your way, email us — they're alpha guardrails, not a pricing model.
Data durability
Alpha data may be reset. It has happened twice already: the Aleph channel the app writes to was renamed in May 2026 (twice), and data on the prior channels was retired each time. We don't plan more resets, but during alpha we can't rule them out — don't host anything where losing the project history would hurt.
Your deployed sites are safer than your dashboard data: every build is content-addressed and pinned on IPFS, and you can always re-deploy from your repo. The recovery guide covers reconstructing everything else from the public Aleph network.
Known limitations
- Static sites only. Nothing that needs a server at request time — see what works.
- Environment variables are not secrets. They're baked into your build and may appear in your published site. See Environment variables.
- One GitHub install per wallet. Connecting a second account or organization replaces the first.
- Apple sign-in is not available yet — the button may appear, but use email or Google.
- Custom-domain go-live time is variable. After a redeploy, Aleph's gateway can take anywhere from a few minutes to 40+ minutes to serve the new build at your domain. This is Aleph-side; the custom domains guide explains how to read the FINALIZING status.
- The project repository is private during alpha, so source links in these docs won't resolve for you yet. It goes public no later than beta.
What "alpha" does not mean
The self-custody model is not a roadmap item — it's live today. Your data is encrypted client-side, the backend can't read your project names or repos, and the recovery path and public audit endpoint work now. Test them; that's what the alpha is for.
