About ApeCoin (APE)

ApeCoin (APE) is an ERC 20 token inspired by the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT project. Its primary use case is as a governance token, allowing APE holders to vote on various community proposals. For example, ApeCoin holders can participate in the ApeCoin DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), giving them the opportunity to vote and have a voice on community led proposals that can shape the future of the coin and the use of the Ecosystem funds. ApeCoin serves as a decentralized protocol layer specifically designed for community driven initiatives, with the main goal to deliver power to the community of APE holders.
