# What Are the Advantages of Purchasing Now?

* **Early Bird Advantage:** The first 30,000 Key Nodes are priced at $599, with fewer Key Nodes online in the early stages, meaning higher rewards during this period. Starting from the 30,001st Key Node, the price will increase by $0.8 for every 100 Key Nodes sold.
* **Early Unlock:** Key Node rewards will begin distribution on December 25th Christmas (tentative date), allowing early Key Node buyers to benefit from token distribution even before $EPT tokens are listed on exchanges.
