# Keys

## What are Keys?

Keys grant you access to the Creator's chat rooms and are volatile assets that can be traded on the platform using the XCAD Token. Note: You will still require BNB for gas. 

Some keys on the platform will be exchangeable into Creator Tokens when the Creator of that key launches a Creator token. More information will follow in Q1 next year.

While it is possible to buy a fraction of a key on XCAD.Social, you will require at least 1 whole key to access the relevant Creators' chatroom.

## Buying Keys
