The ApeChain Ecosystem is a blockchain platform built to expand the capabilities of the ApeCoin (APE) network. Focused on enhancing utility for APE within a decentralized Web3 space, it provides infrastructure to support NFT minting, DeFi, and decentralized applications (dApps), with special features aimed at the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) community and broader NFT markets. The network was developed using Arbitrum's Orbit technology, which enables greater scalability, lower costs, and access to advanced features for developers and users alike.
