# Access Passes

{% hint style="warning" %}
Since BIP-54, the need to buy or hold an Access Pass has been removed. Now, **any new or existing account** on the Botto app (through both social media or crypto wallet login) **generates 100 VP per week** (or voting round).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The new Farcaster Voting Frame Access Pass' details can be found inside the [Community Access Passes](/overview/access-passes/community-access-passes.md) section.
{% endhint %}

Access Passes are a way to access voting on Botto without buying the token, and a means to earn your way into membership. They can be acquired by [following the link here](https://www.botto.com/access/botto-access-pass), and following the directions below.

### Types of Access Pass

There are two types of Access Passes: "Botto Access Pass" and "Community Access Pass"

They also share properties with the Pipes from the ‘[Ceci n’est pas un Botto’](https://medium.com/@iambotto/ceci-nest-pas-un-botto-9efa8743d81b) Collection that give access to exclusive drops. Mint page here: <https://pipes.botto.com/>

Each pass generates daily voting points that allow you to help train Botto.

VP per access pass:

* [Botto Access Passes](https://www.botto.com/access/botto-access-pass) - 700 weekly
* [Pipes](https://pipes.botto.com/) - 1575 weekly
* [Community Access Passes](/overview/access-passes/community-access-passes.md) - 700 weekly
* [Special SuperRare Community Access Pass](https://www.botto.com/access/superraredao-access-pass) - 1225 weekly
* [Guest Curator Access Pass](https://www.botto.com/access/guest-curator-access-pass) - 1575 weekly

{% hint style="info" %}
As of May 2026, with the passing of [BIP-97](https://snapshot.box/#/s:botto.eth/proposal/0xe078af1d4e9cf48bbeb627fa7715ddf7ab5645615e9225030d603674c2a2efac), Pipes became Stackable. VP generation from Pipes stacks additively across all Pipes held in a single connected wallet — each Pipe generating 1,575 VP per week.

But other Access Passes remain not stackable. You will receive only the voting points from the Access Pass in your possession that generates the most. It is worth noting that it is possible to stack and accumulate VP from three options, (i.e. Pipes, AP, and staked $BOTTO).\
\
The VP are only generated at the start of the round, so the wallet holding the item must be connected to the site before then.
