ApeCoin will be released in March 2022. Holders of NFTs from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) could receive an allotment of APE tokens in the first half of 2022, depending on which and how many of the two NFTs they possessed. The possessor of a BAYC NFT received more APE than the bearer of a MAYC NFT. The quantity of APE the holder could claim was also affected by holding a Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) NFT with a BAYC or MAYC NFT.

ApeCoin's ecosystem is led by the ApeCoin DAO, a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO). ApeCoin holders can become DAO members, giving them the right to vote on ecosystem issues. The APE Foundation also exists to assist the ApeCoin ecosystem and carry out ApeCoin DAO-approved initiatives.

Emerging from the jungle of NFTs, ApeCoin (APE) reigns as the utility and governance token of the booming APE ecosystem. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, this ERC-20 token is more than just a cryptocurrency; it's a key that unlocks exclusive access and voting rights.

Think of it as the golden banana in this digital ape haven. Holding APE grants you entry to:

Exclusive events: Immerse yourself in physical and digital gatherings, from metaverse parties to real-world ape conventions.

Gaming glory: Conquer blockchain-powered games and experiences built around the APE universe.

Merch and more: Flaunt your ape pride with limited-edition clothing, accessories, and digital collectibles.

A say in the future: ApeCoin holders form the ApeCoin DAO, a decentralized community that governs the ecosystem's future. Vote on proposals, shape the roadmap, and influence the direction of this primate paradise.

Whether you're an avid NFT collector or simply intrigued by the potential of Web3 communities, ApeCoin offers a unique blend of utility, governance, and exclusive access. Just remember, with great ape power comes great ape responsibility!
