- ApeCoin DAO collaborates with Polygon Labs to launch ApeChain, a dedicated zero-knowledge powered Layer-2 platform, to enhance the ApeCoin ecosystem.
- The initiative, supported by a $3 million development fund and other incentives, aims to drive growth in ApeCoin-integrated projects and public goods.
Unleashing the Potential of ApeCoin with ApeChain
In a move set to revolutionize the ApeCoin ecosystem, Polygon Labs proposes the launch of a dedicated ApeCoin zk-L2 chain, dubbed ApeChain. This innovative platform is designed to accelerate the growth and development of the ApeCoin ecosystem, positioning it at the forefront of the evolving Web3 landscape.
Members of @apecoin DAO,
Building a chain with Polygon CDK means joining an ecosystem of ZK L2s, all benefiting from unified liquidity with extended blockspace, while remaining maximally secure.

Building a Robust Ecosystem with Polygon CDK
ApeChain, powered by Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit), is envisioned to be a transformative project for ApeCoin DAO. The proposal includes the launch and maintenance of ApeChain by Gateway.fm, a leading rollup as a service provider, with advisory support from Polygon Labs and oversight from the ApeCoin DAO Foundation. This collaboration seeks to create an efficient and secure execution environment, allowing ApeCoin DAO to foster a vibrant ecosystem of projects and applications.
Incentivizing Development and Growth
Key to this initiative is the substantial investment in ecosystem development. Polygon Labs has committed to a $3 million development fund administered by the ApeCoin DAO Foundation, payable in any crypto-asset, to stimulate growth in ApeCoin-integrated projects. This includes experiences, entertainment, games, consumer applications, and necessary infrastructure such as middleware and marketplaces. The fund’s aim is to nurture innovation and drive the expansion of ApeChain-related public goods.
Enhancing ApeChain’s Capabilities
The proposed ApeChain offers several distinct advantages. It will be fully owned, governed, and operated under the ApeCoin DAO community’s guidance, ensuring that all revenue, including sequencer fees or potential Native Yield, accrues to the ApeCoin DAO and validators. Moreover, ApeChain is designed to provide ultra-premium and inexpensive blockspace, solving scalability issues and offering an ideal environment for the ApeCoin DAO-affiliated projects.
Future-Proofing the ApeCoin Ecosystem
The initiative goes beyond just creating a new blockchain. It positions ApeCoin DAO to play a pivotal role in driving culture forward into the metaverse. By leveraging the Polygon Architecture’s robustness and stability, ApeChain aims to foster mainstream adoption of blockchain technology and Web3 across various verticals, including gaming, loyalty rewards, and digital identities.
A New Era for ApeCoin DAO
The ApeChain project represents a significant step towards realizing ApeCoin DAO’s mission of empowering a decentralized community at the forefront of Web3. By harnessing the power of Polygon CDK and the collaborative efforts of the community, ApeCoin DAO is set to unlock unprecedented growth and innovation in the digital asset space.
