Some addresses have earned more than 1,000 times the profit through CURTIS.


Written by Karen, Foresight News


Some people assert that ApeChain has had a natural advantage in Meme traffic since its inception, while others say that Yuga ecosystem users, including BAYC holders, regard money as dirt and transcend material desires, and may not care much about the future development of ApeChain.


On October 20, as ApeCoin launched the ApeChain mainnet and its official cross-chain bridge on Arbitrum Orbit L3, the price of the APE token experienced a leap from $0.75 to $1.72. Although it subsequently fell back slightly to around $1.55, the increase was more than 100% in just over a day. At the same time, the floor prices of Yuga Labs NFT series such as BAYC and MAYC NFT also rose accordingly. It is worth noting that according to Ember's monitoring, an address spent $1,140 to purchase CURTIS, which has a floating profit of $1.46 million.


Admittedly, APE’s current price is still a long way from its historical peak of $28. But ApeChain has undoubtedly added new vitality to APE. It has not only become the native Gas token of ApeChain, but also occupies a core position in the Yuga Labs ecosystem, used for transaction fees, voting rights in ApeCoin DAO, and as a payment method in Yuga Labs games and IRL purchases.


In addition, through cooperation with LayerZero, APE has achieved deep integration with LayerZero's OFT standard, enabling APE to flow seamlessly between ApeChain, Ethereum and Arbitrum. LayerZero further revealed that the ApeCoin native income mechanism built with Decent allows users to earn income from ApeCoin balances without any manual operation, while maintaining full chain interoperability.


However, we also noticed that some meme coins on ApeChain have cooled down slightly after a short-term surge, and currently only two meme coins (CURTIS and BORED) with a market value of more than 10 million US dollars are still holding on.


Dune’s data even shows that on the second day after ApeChain was launched, its asset inflows showed a significant downward trend. If ApeChain cannot continue to attract and retain more funds, its popularity and liquidity may be difficult to maintain.



However, after exploring the ApeChain ecosystem, the author also discovered some relatively innovative projects. This article summarizes and organizes 7 ApeChain ecosystem projects that are worthy of attention.


ApeChain Ecosystem Projects Worth Paying Attention to


Ape Express


Ape Express is a meme launch platform similar to Pump.fun. When the new token market cap reaches $131,180, all liquidity from the bonding curve will be deposited into Camelot and destroyed.


Ape Express stated that within 24 hours of the platform’s launch, a total of 2,640 tokens were created on the platform, of which 55 tokens completed the joint curve, and the transaction volume on ApeChain exceeded US$50 million.


In addition, Ape Express plans to launch a points reward program in the future to incentivize early adopters (including trading users and token creation users). According to official documents, Ape Express will distribute FUCKIT tokens to participating users based on points at the end of each week. Currently, there is no information about FUCKIT tokens.


Ape Express also brings a benefit to Bored Ape or Mutant NFT holders, where tokens on its platform can airdrop Meme tokens to NFT holders.

Camelot


Camelot is the first DEX to support Ape Express. Camelot has previously supported Arbitrum and multiple L2 and L3 networks based on Arbitrum. The current market value of Camelot tokens is $17 million and the FDV is $75 million.


They were done


The Ape Express official website shows that Saru and Camelot are the first exchanges supported by Ape Express, but Saru has not yet been launched. However, according to Saru’s official information, Saru is an ApeCoin native encryption trading protocol supported by Sushi Labs.

Top Trader


Top Trader is a trading simulation game platform that currently holds a tournament every day. Users need to deposit 10 APE as the entry fee, which will be included in the reward pool for users who use leverage to compete. Participating users will initially receive 10,000 USDN, the in-game simulated trading currency. On the Top Trader platform, users can choose a minimum leverage of 100 times and a maximum of 1,000 times. All transactions are simulated, and the user's maximum loss is limited to the entry fee of 10 APE.


In addition to this, to improve user experience, Top Trader uses Yuga ID (powered by Privy) to abstract all on-chain activities.

Ape Names


Ape Names will be launched by D3 at 22:00 on October 22. D3 is a new generation identity company focused on bridging the gap between traditional Internet infrastructure and Web3. It plans to apply for .APE TLD (top-level domain) and will initially support minting and trading domain names on ApeChain.


In a forum proposal, D3 team members stated that D3 intends to provide each BAYC and MAYC NFT holder with a related APE domain name, (e.g. MACHI*APE, 7065*APE). Members of the ApeCoin community will have priority to register before other *APE domain names are made available to the public. D3 will commit to giving 50% of all gross revenue generated back to the ApeCoin DAO.


However, it is worth noting that applying for a TLD top-level domain name is not easy. No entity or individual can directly own a TLD. ICANN grants the right to exclusively operate and profit from each TLD to a specific organization through a contract, and the authorization contracts for these TLDs are automatically renewed every 10 years. D3 said that the upcoming ICANN application round may be opened as early as 2025.
