# Launch Plan (Archive)

Although all four phases of the $STORM launch are now complete, each played a key role in shaping the active Storm Trade community. The launch was executed in four stages, each offering unique goals and opportunities for users to participate and earn rewards.

## 📍 Phase 1: Public Testnet

Users tested STORM on the TON mainnet without risk, completed tasks, and earned points for the airdrop. Active participants were rewarded and helped prepare the protocol for release.

## 📍 Phase 2: Public Beta

During the open beta testing, users traded and provided liquidity to the SLP, earning RP points that could be exchanged for tokens after the TGE.

***

## 📍 Phase 3: Market Makers NFT

A collection of 5,555 unique NFTs granted whitelist access before the TGE. Users could earn these NFTs through tournaments, referrals, community involvement, or by purchasing them on Getgems.

> 🃏 The [Market Makers NFT](https://getgems.io/market-makers) collection is available on GetGems.

## 📍 Phase 4: STORM Token Generation Event (TGE)

A fair and open token launch was held across multiple Launchpad platforms. Market Makers NFT holders used their whitelist access to purchase tokens before public trading began.
