# Launchpad Ranks

Launchpad Ranks are a tiered system that determines the perks you get during every token launch on Atlantis.

Depending on your rank, you’ll gain access to:

* Exclusive allocations in FCFS, high-demand, sales
* Access to discounted low-hard cap Private Sales
* **A percentage of the total fundraise amount**
* **A percentage of the partner project’s native token**
* Access to exclusive Airdrops from partner projects

Your rank is calculated based on how much **AQUA and xAQUA** you hold, either in your wallet or staked through core Atlantis plugins.

Snapshots will be taken at random times before each sale.

## **The Ranks**

### How to Qualify for a Rank <a href="#heading-how-to-qualify-for-a-rank" id="heading-how-to-qualify-for-a-rank"></a>

It’s very straightforward: to qualify, you must hold or stake AQUA and/or xAQUA.

You’re eligible if your tokens are:

* In your wallet
* Staked in **Treasures** (25% of total protocol revenue share)
* Staked in **Trident Vaults** (partner token’s farming)

However, if you’ve started the **unlock process for xAQUA**, those tokens won’t count toward your rank until fully unlocked. So if you're planning to participate in a launch, make sure your tokens are actively held or staked.

### Snapshot Timing <a href="#heading-snapshot-timing" id="heading-snapshot-timing"></a>

We will take **random snapshots** before each token sale to determine your rank at that time.

There won’t be a set schedule, the randomness ensures the fairness of the process and discourages short-term manipulation.\

`The takeaway: if you want to be eligible, it’s best to keep your AQUA and xAQUA in place ahead of any launch announcements.`
