| **Wave 2 enters**                             | One week after Wave 1                                      |
| **Wave 3 enters**                             | One week after Wave 2                                      |
| **Wave 4 enters**                             | Confirmed closer to launch                                 |
| **Chapter 0 launch**                          | One month after early access launch                        |

{% hint style="danger" %}
**The leaderboard finalises one week before early access launch.** The rank you hold at that moment is the rank your rewards are calculated on — points earned after it cannot change your tier, your monster, or your wave.

**We will announce the exact date and give you plenty of notice beforehand.** Nobody is going to wake up to a leaderboard that locked overnight.
{% endhint %}

## What's available in early access

Early access is your head start. You'll be able to start building your **gathering empire**, catch the **basic creatures**, and prepare your resources and equipment for the Chapter 0 start.

That's a genuine advantage — time to set up, prepare, and get used to the game before the rest of the world arrives. It isn't a permanent one, though: players who come in at **Chapter 0** can still catch up with enough effort.

## Chapter 0 — one month after early access

Chapter 0 is when the game opens up properly. By then everyone from pre-registration has been let into the game, and the systems that needed to be securely set up and tested go live:

* **The first official NFT monster hunt** begins.
* **The first batch of Legendaries** is released.
* **Auctions** open — bid your $FLOWER on rare and one-off items.
* **$FLOWER withdrawals & the marketplace opens** begin.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why these wait for Chapter 0.** Auctions, withdrawals and the Legendaries are deliberately held back until everyone from pre-registration is in the game and everything has been securely set up and tested. Nobody ends up competing against a system only part of the playerbase can reach.
{% endhint %}

## What this means for you

* **Deposit sooner rather than later.** The points multiplier on [$FLOWER deposits](/pre-registration/flower-deposits.md) is at its highest right now and steps down every week, so the same deposit is worth less the longer you leave it.
* **Climb before the lock.** Everything that decides your reward — your [monster](/pre-registration/legendary-founder-nfts.md), your [wave](/pre-registration/early-access-airdrop.md), your trainer number — is settled the moment the leaderboard finalises.
* **Rewards land three days later.** Your airdrop arrives shortly after the lock, ahead of launch day.
* **Utilities come first.** What each monster actually does is revealed in **September**, well before the leaderboard finalises — so you will know what you're climbing toward.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Dates firm up as we get closer.** Timings on this page are our current plan, and anything without a fixed date will be confirmed and announced in advance.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yakkamon.com/pre-registration/important-dates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
