## Para Environments: `BETA` vs `PRODUCTION`

Para has two different environments. **NOTE: Wallets are not shared across environments**

`BETA` is intended for you to develop and test against, **not for production builds or real users and funds**

* `BETA` can be used with any plan, including the free tier
* This is the correct environment to use for local or staging builds
* `BETA` users can be deleted for your convenience while testing, and is limited to *50 max users per project*

`PRODUCTION` is intended for any real users/funds

* This is the correct environment to use for release or production builds
* `PRODUCTION` users can NOT be deleted, and have no per-project limit
