Trenches 101: New Creation, Near Completion, and Graduated Explained
Every token on Trenches sits in one of three stages. What each one means, and why Graduated is the bar BattleCard eligibility builds on top of.

Every token on Trenches sits in exactly one of three stages. Knowing what each means is most of what you need to read the board.
The three stages
| Stage | What it means |
|---|---|
| New Creation | Just launched, early on its bonding curve, smallest and least established. |
| Near Completion | Close to graduating -- the bonding curve is close to fully committed. |
| Graduated | Completed the bonding curve and moved into full trading. |
Cards visually reflect stage with a distinct border, so you can tell a Graduated card from a New Creation one before reading any text on it.
Note
Graduated is the floor BattleCard eligibility builds on top of -- a token has to reach this stage before it's even considered, then still has to clear separate ATH and holder-count bars. See How BattleCard Eligibility Works for the rest of that.
