ApeCoin functions as both a governance and utility token within the APE Ecosystem. Holders can vote on proposals through the ApeCoin DAO, influencing how the ecosystem’s resources are allocated. Beyond governance, ApeCoin acts as a common currency within the ecosystem, enabling transactions without the need for centralized intermediaries. It provides access to exclusive content, such as games, merchandise, events, and services, and is also a tool for third-party developers to integrate into their projects. As an ERC-20 token, ApeCoin operates on the Ethereum blockchain, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of decentralized applications and platforms.
