ApeCoin NFT Staking Migration
ApeCoin’s NFT staking, tied to Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), and BAKC Shadows, is migrating to ApeChain on April 15, 2025, requiring users to move $APE tokens and re-stake to continue earning rewards.ApeChain, launched in October 2024 at ApeFest Lisbon, is a creator-centric blockchain built by ApeCoin DAO with partners like Yuga Labs, using $APE as its native token to enhance NFT and DeFi ecosystems.The migration leverages ApeChain’s infrastructure, which supports high-performance apps like Yuga Labs’ Top Trader, addressing Ethereum’s scaling issues where gas fees averaged $5-$10 per transaction in 2024, per Etherscan data.
