# $ALPHA **ALPHA** is the token that will be used in the Alpha Aliens ecosystem. Staking will be active a few days after minting. Non-members who pay in $ALPHA for a membership to the Sniping Tools platform will receive a 33% discount on the subscription price. A $ALPHA fee will be charged for access to special traits during merging. Some competitions and tournaments will require an entry fee in $ALPHA. Some physical items will only be accessible through the token. The team has planned a variety of burning mechanisms as the Alpha Aliens ecosystem evolves and within the Metaverse built on nftworlds.\ \ **Airdrops**: Two $ALPHA airdrops are planned with the aim of encouraging staking and holding. The first one is planned for the beginning of July and the second one at the beginning of October. The official snapshot data which will be valid for the distribution will be announced later. 20% of the total supply will be reserved for these airdrops. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
