ApeChain, a new blockchain dedicated to the ApeCoin ecosystem, has quietly launched its mainnet. ApeChain utilizes ApeCoin ($APE) as its native gas token and aims to provide a dedicated infrastructure layer for the ApeCoin community. The launch has been met with enthusiasm from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) community, with collaborations from entities like DashboUGC and BoredCloset enabling the community to show their support through 3D ApeChain apes. Additionally, Yuga Labs' Workshop Team is set to debut its ApeChain-powered game, TopTrader, at the Token 2049 event. The ApeChain launch also introduces the Ape Portal, the first active bridge for the ecosystem. This launch marks a significant milestone for the ApeCoin ecosystem, potentially heralding a new era in the crypto market.
