# Alpha Passes ### Why Alpha Passes? Alpha Passes are your early-access ticket to your META NANOs. In the NFT space it is hard for projects to build up a community from scratch, because so many promising projects compete for their attention. On the other hand, for investors it is often impossible to invest early in such visionary projects like META NANOs which results in so called "gas wars". Alpha Passes are the perfect solution. It helps us finding early adopters, promoters and believers and allows us to reward them with early-access, exclusive offers and bonus features. ### What types of Alpha Passes do exist? Generally 3 different Alpha Pass types exist: Silver, Gold and Crystal. Each Alpha Pass gives different privileges for the NANOs Drop the first Equipment Drop and Game access. Additionally, there are some hidden bonuses for Alpha Pass holders which will be revealed along the way. ![Alpha Pass Types](/files/6JoNYNHA4LFp5ELY6Vy5) ### VIP Collectors VIP Collectors are true believers in META NANOs and were able to collect at least one of each Alpha Pass type.
