With the launch of the ApeChain mainnet on October 20, the Bored Ape (BAYC) ecological series has once again set off a wave of enthusiasm. The price of the project token APE once soared from US$0.75 to US$1.76, and the related memes that opened on the same day also had a market value of more than one million US dollars.
ApeChain is a Layer-2 network developed by ApeCoinDAO, built on Arbitrum Orbit, designed to support the ApeCoin ecosystem, mainly around the Bored Ape (BAYC) community. At present, there are 58 ecological projects on the chain, involving finance, IP, games, infrastructure, etc.
Due to the strong IP attributes of Bored Ape and its leading position in the NFT track, the big move of ApeChain's launch naturally attracted widespread attention from the community. Crypto artist beeple first released the work "APECHAIN" as a congratulation, and ApeChain also followed the meme trend and launched Pump.fun's imitation project Ape Express and trading simulation game platform Top Trader. Golden Finance also sorted out the popular memes and ecological projects on ApeChain to help readers better discover early Alpha.

Summary
At present, neither the Bored Ape project nor the entire NFT track has escaped the ice age, but the track sector rotates rapidly in the new cycle of the crypto market, and the latest narratives emerge in an endless stream. BAYC officials are willing to make changes and personally build an on-chain ecosystem. With the blessing of its powerful IP, there will naturally be no lack of traffic. Especially if the barriers between NFT, meme, and DAPP can be broken, ApeChain may not be unable to welcome more capital influx.
