EARLY is a community token on Radix, created on 9 January 2024, named for the Radix community's habit of telling itself it is still early. Its site, stillearly.tech, carries two products built around it: earlyTech, a set of trading and chat tools, and earlyStudios, an NFT drop house that gates its mints on EARLY holdings. The rlyfun launchpad spends its profit buying EARLY back.
Market
On 1 October 2026 EARLY traded at about 0.0172 XRD (0.0000066 USD) on Ociswap, for a circulating market capitalisation near 6,400 USD and about 70 USD of volume over seven days. On 25 July 2026 the same reads gave 0.0259 XRD and about 32,000 USD: EARLY fell by a third against XRD over those ten weeks, and XRD itself lost about 70% of its dollar price. The site reported a market capitalisation of about 1.1m USD in October 2024.
Token
The resource holds a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 EARLY, all minted when it was created, with none burned. Minting and burning are denied, and so are the roles that could change those two rules, so no one can alter the supply. About 980m EARLY are in circulation by Ociswap's count.
earlyTech
stillearly.tech lists four tools:
- earlyBot, a trading bot for Radix DEXs, which the site shows with a feed of its recent trades;
- earlyAlerts, notices of newly created pools and of pools it flags as likely rugs;
- earlyIntern, which lets users tip each other in more than 20 tokens and pays for content;
- earlyGPT, a chat assistant that comments on the contents of a wallet.
earlyStudios and the Studio Pass
earlyStudios releases art from curated artists and experimental projects as NFT drops. Minting a drop needs a Studio Pass, an NFT that is free to claim apart from the transaction fee, and an EARLY balance in the same account when the drop's snapshot is taken. After each snapshot the pass's metadata is updated to record whether its holder qualified. The first passes were airdropped to accounts holding 50,000 EARLY or more.
rlyfun buybacks
EARLY is the buyback target of rlyfun, the Radix meme-coin launchpad. The platform states that after covering servers, IPFS hosting and other running costs, all remaining XRD profit is used to buy EARLY on the open market, executed manually and without prior announcement to avoid front-running, with an automated system described as in development. The buybacks are funded by the launchpad's 0.9% buy, 1% sell, 1% graduation and 2.5% dev-reward fees.
The token itself is non-mintable with a fixed one-billion supply, so a buyback removes tokens from the float rather than offsetting new issuance.
