These passes allow early participation in the FCFS (First-Come, First-Served) investment round, before it opens to all investors. Here's how to get one:

* **Use the Community Pass Calculator:** To understand how you might qualify for a Community Pass, [use the calculator provided by IXIR.](https://ixirpad.com/communityCalculator)
* **Stake $IXIR:** A general guideline is that staking about 122,000 $IXIR for two years will give you a Community Pass with a 1000 USDT allocation.
* **What is Allocation?** Allocation refers to the amount you're allowed to invest in certain rounds. So, a 1000 USDT allocation means you can invest up to 1000 USDT in the Community Pass rounds.
* **Is the Allocation Guaranteed?** No, the Community Pass allocation is not guaranteed, it is only available if the other Investment Rounds do not sell out the project.
