ApeCoin
ApeCoin (APE) is an Ethereum-based token connected to the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs. It isn’t its own blockchain, but a community currency used across apps, games, and events in the Ape ecosystem. Holders join the ApeCoin DAO—a community-run group—where they can vote on decisions and help shape future projects.

Technology & Use Case
ApeCoin is an ERC‑20 token that powers a decentralized community-driven ecosystem. Holders use it to vote on proposals, fund ecosystem projects, and gain access to exclusive content. It also encourages developers to build games and services that incorporate APE.
Origins & Team
Launched on March 17, 2022, ApeCoin was created by the ApeCoin DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization formed to govern the token and ecosystem. While rooted in the Bored Ape Yacht Club world, it is managed by the Ape Foundation and not directly issued by Yuga Labs.
Ecosystem & Partnerships
APE unlocks access to a growing Web3 ecosystem—from games and digital goods to metaverse applications and real-world events. For example, it's set to power ApeChain, a blockchain designed for scalable NFT applications, and exclusive community features within the Ape ecosystem.
