What is ApeCoin?
ApeCoin is an Ethereum-based coin that powers the growing ecosystem of projects based on the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The coin was created by ApeCoin DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization set up to manage the coin and its future roadmap.
ApeCoin is preparing to launch a strike program. In May, ApeCoin holders voted to choose Horizen Labs to build their staking platform. This platform will provide token rewards to users who stake (or hold) ApeCoin, Bored Ape, and Mutant Ape NFTs.
Earlier this month, Horizen Labs gave a preview of the strike program’s user interface. The platform is gearing up for its expected launch in Fall 2022. Last week, the company announced its plans to host a Twitter platform on September 22 to keep the community updated on the latest developments.
