# Additional Means for Acquiring NOX

## Nurturing Engagement: Expanding NOX Token Accessibility

In addition to the presale rounds, there are several other pathways for acquiring NOX tokens, but these usually require some extra work and luck from those seeking to boost their NOX holdings.

### Celestial Collection NFT Holders: Transition to NOX-Based Access

Distribution of NOX tokens to Celestial Collection NFT holders who purchased their NFTs is a strategic step in the shift from an NFT-gated launchpad to a more expansive NOX token-based ecosystem. This transition ensures that NFT holders can claim an amount of NOX corresponding to the original access level granted by their NFTs. While maintaining access to the early investment opportunities, the shift significantly enhances the range of benefits within the NOX-based ecosystem. 

Although the entry point for NFT holders is around BNB 0.00083 per NOX, considering the original mint price of the NFTs, these holders enjoyed the privilege of participating in all three presale rounds. Furthermore, their NFTs will contribute an additional bonus to the pool weight generation from NOX staking, thereby influencing the proportion of Ecosystem Rewards they will be eligible for.

### Early Participation Rewards: Incentivizing Presale Participation

The early participation rewards program allocated 3,697,852.54M NOX tokens to a special staking pool. Participants who purchase NOX tokens during the OG Community Round and Community Round of the presale were eligible to stake them and earn a share of this pool. Rather than providing the typical APY, the distribution was based on the amount of NOX staked and the duration of the stake.

* The staking period concluded on the 21st of February 2024, at 12 pm UTC
* NOX Rewards have been added to the NOX eligibility records and will be claimable alongside NOX purchased, earned, won, and allocated to NFTs directly from the portal which will be launched in June 2024.
