Editor's note: The ApeChain mainnet has officially launched, and ApeCoin has introduced the one-click token issuance platform Ape Express. The price of APE has doubled overnight, and many meme coin players are once again focusing on the new platform. Odaily Planet Daily will compile and organize tools related to the ApeChain ecosystem and Ape Express gameplay in this article for readers' reference.
ApeChain Overview
In simple terms, ApeChain is a blockchain ecosystem developed by @yugalabs, primarily designed to support NFT projects and expand the @BoredApeYC ecosystem. It facilitates the development of NFT minting, trading, and dApp applications while providing users with a seamless on-chain operation experience.
As Yuga Labs co-founder @GordonGoner previously stated, "ApeChain is filled with tools that make it easier to build products, gain attention, break conventions, and achieve innovation."
Unique Advantages of ApeChain
In summary, ApeChain has the following main advantages:
Scalability: To some extent, it addresses the congestion issues often seen in other blockchain networks (Odaily Planet Daily note: mainly because ApeChain is an L3 network);
Incentives: Offers support for token rewards, airdrops, and staking features.
Token Integration: Fully compatible with the APE token.
The First Step to Mastering ApeChain: Prepare the "Ingredients"
1. Set Up a Wallet
Use a wallet compatible with the blockchain network, such as MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, etc.
Use information from the Yuga Labs official website to add ApeChain as a custom network, or manually add the following settings:
Network Name: ApeChain
Network URL: https://apechain.calderachain.xyz/http
Chain ID: 33139
Currency Symbol: APE
2. Obtain APE Tokens
APE tokens are required for transactions on the ApeChain.
Users can purchase them on centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Uniswap, and decentralized exchanges.
You can also check the official website for all the sites that support APE purchases: https://apecoin.com/exchanges
3. Explore the Ecosystem
In simple terms, ApeChain mainly includes the following applications:
NFT Minting: Participate in exclusive NFT releases.
DeFi Integration: Use APE tokens for staking or mining.
dApps: Utilize various dApps, including games and trading platforms.
A new application in the ApeChain ecosystem is the pump.fun platform—@apeexpress, where users can participate in meme coin issuance and trading.

ApeChain Meme Coin Trading Guide
Purchase a certain amount of APE tokens on the Ethereum mainnet.
Go to the official cross-chain bridge http://apechain.com/portal to bridge APE to ApeChain (about one minute).
Log in to the website http://ape.express and select the "Explore" section.
In the Degen section, you can see various meme coin projects (default sorting is by bump order; users can change it to market cap size or creation time).
Choose a meme coin and purchase it—[click to buy, enter the amount of APE tokens, and click trade].
Sometimes errors may occur, usually due to low slippage settings; it is recommended to set it to over 5%. You can modify it by clicking the settings icon next to the "Buy/Sell" button.
You can add the corresponding tokens to your wallet for easy tracking of their prices and other information.
After completing the purchase, users can also check aggregate trading platforms like Dexscreener, @CamelotDEX, etc., to view project market cap, number of holders, holdings, developer history, and other information.

Official Game Product: Top Trader
@toptrader_xyz is an on-chain simulation trading game officially launched by ApeChain, starting daily at 3 PM and ending the next day at 12 PM (Eastern Time). It is highly competitive and features a "Daily Championship." Here’s how to participate:
Log in to http://toptrader.xyz.
Enter and set up your profile.
Copy the corresponding Top Trader address from your profile.
Use http://delegate.xyz to delegate your assets to that address to participate in subsequent betting.
The Most Noteworthy Part: Airdrops
If users are holders of BAYC or MAYC at the time of token distribution, they will be eligible to receive rewards in the airdrop section of @apeexpress.
ApeChain incentives mainly include the following parts:
• Creator Grants: Providing grants to developers building products on ApeChain;
• User Airdrops: Offering corresponding rewards to users who mint NFTs or participate in staking activities;
• Low Interaction Fees: Reduced interaction fees during the initial phase of the mainnet launch.
Yuga Labs co-founder @CryptoGarga also mentioned, "We aim to make ApeChain the highest quality creator-centric blockchain network."
Other Highlights
• The project @ChimpersNFT announced that "Rise of the Undead" will be one of the first games launched after the ApeChain mainnet goes live, allowing users to participate in the game and earn APE tokens (it is understood that game rewards are provided by the on-chain arcade game project @rebootgg_).
• The on-chain strategy auto-battle game @PlayBattlePlan has also launched on ApeChain.
Odaily note: The applications within the ApeChain ecosystem are currently relatively limited. Below are the official related projects and collaborative projects for readers' reference:
