## Early Access

New app launches have a **6-hour early access window**. During this period, you need at least **100 XP** to buy tokens on the bonding curve.

XP is earned through protocol participation, data contributions, and community activities. It is non-transferable.

<Note>
  XP is the only way to access early launch windows. There is no way to buy or transfer it. See [Incentives and Access](/apps/design/incentives-and-access) for details.
</Note>

## Evaluating Apps

Before participating, check:

* **Creator address:** look it up on the block explorer
* **Team members:** verify identities if shown
* **Social links:** confirm they are official channels
* **Trading volume:** higher volume means more liquidity
* **Holder distribution:** check for concentration risk

<Warning>
  Start small and learn how the system works before committing significant funds. Tokens can go to zero.
</Warning>
