What is ApeCoin?
ApeCoin (APE) is an ERC-20 governance and utility token that sits at the centre of the APE ecosystem, a community focused on building web3 apps and experiences. It launched in 2022 and grew out of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection before expanding into a broader ecosystem token.
The token is managed by the ApeCoin DAO, a decentralised autonomous organisation in which holders can propose and vote on ecosystem decisions. Built on Ethereum, APE works as both a governance token, giving voting rights over proposals, and a utility token used across various web3 games, applications, and services.
As more developers plug APE into games, apps, and metaverse projects, its role across the wider ecosystem continues to grow. On Digital Surge you can buy and hold ApeCoin in AUD, keep it in your account, or withdraw it to an Ethereum wallet you control.

FAQ
Buying ApeCoin: FAQs

How quickly can I buy APE after joining?
Usually within a few minutes. Once your identity check clears, a PayID deposit of AUD generally lands in under a minute, which means you can move from creating your account to buying APE in one short sitting with little waiting.
Can I convert my ApeCoin back to AUD?
Yes. You can sell your APE for AUD on Digital Surge at any time and withdraw the Australian dollars to your bank account. Nothing is locked up, so you decide how long to hold before you sell it back.

ApeCoin serves two main roles. Holders can use APE to vote in the ApeCoin DAO on ecosystem proposals, and the token also acts as a utility token across web3 games, applications, and services connected to the broader APE ecosystem.
How does ApeCoin governance work?
