What is ApeCoin?
ApeCoin is an Ethereum-based token that powers the growing ecosystem of projects based on the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT PFP collection.
Used for utility and governance, it was created by ApeCoin DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization set up to govern the token and its future roadmap; its most eye-catching application to date is as a utility token in the Bored Ape-themed metaverse platform, Otherside.
ApeCoin’s current price action accompanies a minor recovery on the part of the wider crypto market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both up around 3.5% on the day, following a week-long slide.
It also comes as ApeCoin prepares to launch a staking program. In May, ApeCoin holders voted to pick Horizen Labs to build its staking platform, which will offer token rewards to users who stake (or hold) ApeCoin, Bored Ape and Mutant Ape NFTs.
Earlier this month, Horizen Labs provided a sneak peek into the staking program’s user interface, as the platform gears up for its expected launch in Fall 2022. Last week, the company announced plans to host a Twitter space on September 22 to update the community on the latest developments.
