16Currently, Urbit ID is live and deployed. That means you can own a piece of Urbit — if you can find one. There are thousands of people that can potentially invite you, and we give away invites from time to time. Your Urbit ID gets you a name, a sigil, and access to Urbit OS.

Our standards are high, so we aren’t asking everyone to use Urbit OS yet. If you’re someone who wants to customize their own software and experiment with a new system, [check it out](@/using/install.md).
