What ApeChain is for

ApeChain uses APE as its gas token and pays yield on bridged assets, funding the ecosystem from the float rather than from emissions.

ApeChain settles to Arbitrum, which in turn settles to Ethereum. Each hop adds convenience and an assumption.

Technical summary

Block explorers

An explorer lets you verify any transaction, address or contract on this network yourself. Learning to read one is the fastest way to stop taking anyone's word for anything.

What to be aware of

• Security passes through two hops before reaching a layer 1, which adds assumptions.
• Liquidity is thin compared to major networks, so exits can be more expensive than entries.
• App specific chains depend heavily on the application continuing to exist.
• Crypto assets are volatile. Drawdowns of seventy percent or more have happened on every network in this list, including the largest.
• Sending to an address on the wrong network can lose funds permanently. Always send a small test amount first.

Nothing on this page is investment advice. We describe how networks work, not whether you should buy anything.

Same job, different tradeoffs. Each of these has its own page covering what it is actually for, who runs it and where it struggles.
