What is ApeCoin (APE) crypto?
ApeCoin is the APE ecosystem's ERC-20 governance and utility token. It empowers and incentivizes the decentralized community, which it claims to be at the forefront of web3 development.
The decentralized project is inspired by Yuga Labs' Bored Ape Yacht Club project. The token holders govern themselves through the decentralized governance framework that controls the ApeCoin DAO. In addition, the token holders can vote on how the ApeCoin DAO fund should be used. The APE Foundation administers the proposals agreed upon by the APE token holders.
The ApeCoin DAO manages the APE Ecosystem. It offers the token holders an infrastructure to collaborate among themselves via a transparent and permissionless governance process.
