ApeCoin

<p>The <a href="https://apecoin.com/governance">ApeCoin DAO</a>, in partnership with Yuga Labs, Layer Zero, The Arbitrum Foundation, Horizen Labs, Caldera, Wire Network and Off Chain Labs have launched ApeChain, a creator-centric blockchain powered by its native token ApeCoin ($APE), at ApeFest Lisbon.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“While ApeChain has all the best tech - account abstraction with Yuga ID, gas-sponsored transactions, native yield, one-click onboarding via Ape Portal, support for Apple Pay, and the first-ever use of LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard - frankly being fast, cheap, and technically sophisticated is just table stakes.” said Michael Figge, Yuga’s Chief Product Officer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>ApeChain will also benefit from Wire Network's decentralized AI capabilities, which bring dedicated block space and gasless transactions to builders on ApeChain.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“ApeChain’s focus is beyond just the tech. We are focused on two things: (1) making delightful experiences for us all to enjoy and (2) making the tools that create those experiences available to everybody on ApeChain.”&nbsp;</p>
<p>The ecosystem website ApeChain.com debuted an easy to browse interface featuring a slate of launching and upcoming apps including Yuga Labs’ Top Trader, Pixel Vault’s Battle Plan, Sugartown’s Poker, mobile hit Dookey Dash: Unclogged, Made By Apes, Kagami’s Streets of New Tokyo, Otherside - Yuga Labs’ metaverse - and several dozen more titles at platform launch.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yuga Labs also demoed an Otherside experience called “Bubbles,” a voice-enabled social feature that resembles a visual and interactive version of Spaces on X - that will be available to all builders on Otherside. The feature is built on ApeChain with the Otherside Development Kit (ODK), Otherside’s bespoke software development kit created by Yuga with partners Improbable and MSquared.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Initiatives to kickstart additional ApeChain development were announced by the DAO on Sunday. ApeChain’s user incentives are funded through the approximately $70 million USD fund, cheekily named “The Banana Bill,” that was approved by the <a href="https://cryptoticker.io/en/token/price/APE-USD/">ApeCoin</a> DAO earlier this year. The Banana Bill is aimed at funding the long-term sustainability and growth of ApeChain through user incentives and complementary commercial agreements with projects, companies, and protocols committed to building on ApeChain.&nbsp;</p>
<p>An incentive program called Spotlight will reward users for engagement through a points system. Apps funded through the Banana Bill will set aside future rewards to users of Spotlight.</p>
