Editor's Note: ApeChain mainnet is officially launched, ApeCoin officially launched the ecological one-click coin issuance platform Ape Express, and the price of APE doubled overnight. Many Meme coin players have once again turned their attention to the new platform. Odaily Planet Daily will compile and organize the ApeChain ecosystem and Ape Express gameplay-related tools in this article for readers' reference.

ApeChain Popular Science

Simply put, ApeChain is a blockchain ecosystem developed by @yugalabs, mainly used to support NFT projects and expand the @BoredApeYC ecosystem. It can promote the development of NFT casting, trading and dApp applications, while providing users with a seamless on-chain operation experience.

As Yuga Labs co-founder @GordonGoner previously said - "Apechain is full of tools that make it easier to build products, get attention, and break through conventions and innovate."

ApeChain’s unique advantages

In short, ApeChain has the following main advantages:

  • Scalability: To a certain extent, it solves the congestion problem that often occurs in other blockchain networks (Odaily Planet Daily Note: This is mainly because ApeChain is an L3 network);

  • Incentives: Provide token rewards, airdrops, staking and other functional support.

  • Token Integration: Fully compatible with APE tokens.

The first step to playing with Apechain: preparing the “raw materials”

1. Set up your wallet

  • Use a wallet that is compatible with this blockchain network, such as MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, etc.

  • Use the Yuga Labs official website to add ApeChain as a custom network, or you can manually add the following settings:

Network Name: ApeChain

Web URL: https://apechain.calderachain.xyz/http

Chain ID: 33139

Currency symbol: APE

2. Get APE tokens

ApeChain on-chain transactions require APE tokens.

Users can purchase it on centralized exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, and Uniswap, as well as decentralized exchanges.

You can also check the official website to find out all the websites that support APE purchases: https://apecoin.com/exchanges

3. Explore the ecosystem

In short, ApeChain mainly includes the following applications:

  • NFT Minting: Participate in exclusive NFT issuances.

  • DeFi Integration: Use APE tokens for staking or mining.

  • dApps Applications: Use various dApps, including games and trading platforms.

The new application in Apechain ecosystem is the pump.fun platform within its ecosystem - @ape_express_, where users can participate in the issuance and trading of Meme coins.

Apechain Meme Coin Buying and Selling Guide

1. Purchase a certain amount of APE tokens on the Ethereum mainnet

2. Go to the official cross-chain bridge http://apechain.com/portal to bridge APE to ApeChain (about one minute)

3. Log in to the website http://ape.express and select the "Explore" section

4. In the Degen section, you can see many Meme coin projects (the default sorting is bump order, users can change it to market value size or creation time)

5. Select a Meme coin and buy it——[Click to buy, enter the number of APE tokens, and click to trade]

6. Sometimes errors may occur, usually due to low slippage settings. It is recommended to set it to more than 5%. Click the settings icon next to the "Buy/Sell" button to modify it.

7. You can add the corresponding token to your wallet to facilitate subsequent tracking of its price and other information

After completing the purchase, users can also check aggregated trading platforms such as Dexscreener and @CamelotDEX to view information such as project market value, number of holders, holdings, developer history, etc.

Official game product: Top Trader

@toptrader_xyz, this is an on-chain simulated trading game officially launched by ApeChain. It starts at 3 pm every day and ends at 12 noon the next day (EST). It is highly competitive and also has a "Daily Tournament". Here is how to participate:

  • Log in to http://toptrader.xyz

  • Log in and set up your profile

  • Copy the corresponding Top Trader address from your profile

  • Use http://delegate.xyz to delegate your personal assets to this address and participate in subsequent staking

The most noteworthy part: Airdrop

If the user is a BAYC or MAYC holder at the time of token distribution, they will be eligible to receive rewards in the airdrop section of @ape_express_.

ApeChain incentives mainly include the following parts:

• Creator Grants: Provide grants to developers who build products on ApeChain;

• User airdrop: Provide corresponding rewards to users who mint NFTs or participate in staking activities;

• Low interaction fees: The interaction fees are reduced in the initial stage of mainnet launch.

Another co-founder of Yuga Labs, @CryptoGarga, also mentioned that “we want to build ApeChain into the best creator-centric blockchain network.”

Other highlights

• “Rise of the Undead” from the @ChimpersNFT project was announced as one of the first games after the launch of the Apechain mainnet. Users can participate in the game and earn APE tokens (it is understood that the game rewards are provided by the ApeChain on-chain arcade game project @rebootgg_).

• The on-chain strategy auto-battle game @PlayBattlePlan is also now available on Apechain.

Odaily Note: ApeChain’s current applications within the ecosystem are indeed relatively limited. The following are official related projects and cooperative projects for readers’ reference:

•@ThankApe

•@OthersideMeta

•@OtherPageHQ

•@Wire_Blockchain
