Exchange ApeCoin

ApeCoin is a decentralized project developed by the Yuga Labs Bored Ape Yacht Club project. It was created to build and manage the ecosystem in a fair and inclusive way, offering infrastructure for the native token holders. 

ApeCoin is also an ERC-20 token used within Ape Ecosystem that includes the world's third most popular NFT collection called Bored Apes with $1.5 billion in all-time sales. The token launched last week aims to empower and incentivize decentralized community building at the forefront of web3. 

The Ape coin is a part of the ApeCoin DAO and offers governance rights to the holders so they can decide how the ecosystem’s funds should be used. 62% of the tokens were allocated to the Ecosystem Fund which is meant to support community-driven initiatives. 

Moreover, Ape Coin gives its holders access to some features of the ecosystem not available otherwise. For example, exclusive games and services. The total supply is fixed at 1 billion coins, all of them minted at once. The amount in circulation will constantly change depending on the market conditions and the coin release schedule. Only 30.2% of the total supply was realized on the launch day. 

The four founders of the Yuga Labs received a collective 8% of all the realized coins, Yuga Labs itself as a company received 15% of the airdrop and the APE Coin DAO got 47% of all the released tokens.
