# Token-Gated Access

## Token-Gated Access

> Only committed builders launch here. Holding MONP is the gateway to listing your IDO on Monad PUMP.

***

### 🔐 Why Token-Gated?

To maintain quality and protect users, Monad PUMP requires all projects to **hold and stake MONP** before they can launch an IDO.

This approach:

* Prevents low-effort or scam listings
* Encourages long-term project alignment
* Creates organic demand for MONP
* Rewards real builders with stronger exposure

> 💡 Projects are not only raising — they’re also investing in the ecosystem.
