We're thrilled to unveil our renewed vision and exciting initiatives for 2025.

As part of our ongoing commitment to empowering traders, we're launching a 25 million APEX token airdrop, introducing AI-powered tools, and unveiling the ApeX Trading Chain. These innovations are designed to equip traders with state-of-the-art tools and enable seamless omnichain trading. With these advancements, we're poised to redefine the decentralized trading experience and unlock new opportunities for our community across diverse ecosystems.

A Unified Vision: From Degens to Legends

We are driven by a clear vision: to be the smartest multi-chain trading protocol that enables users to capture trading and earning opportunities effortlessly. Our new slogan, "ApeX: Where Degens Become Legends," encapsulates our mission to transcend boundaries and redefine what's possible in trading. By integrating advanced features and community-centric initiatives, we aim to provide ApeXers with the tools and opportunities to become legends of the DeFi space.

2024: A Year of Growth

In 2024, we rolled out ApeX Omni, V2 DEX built on zkLink X, and introduced a suite of products for enhanced DEX trading:

• Perps with 70+ markets, 0 gas fees, advanced order types, grid bots and cross-collateral functionality;

• Spot Swap for seamless multi-chain spot trading across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Chain using a single asset (USDT), a unified interface and zero fees;

• Vaults for passive income opportunities and ApeX Social to reward users in novel and engaging ways.

The progress made in 2024 reflects the strength of our global community and the platform's growing impact:

• 145,000 users worldwide participated in the ecosystem.

• Facilitated 7.8 million trades, with an aggregate trading volume of $23.3 billion.

These achievements demonstrate the tremendous progress we've made, laying a solid foundation for even greater growth in 2025.

Initiatives to Empower Traders

To realize our vision in 2025, we are implementing several key initiatives:

1. Community-Focused Tokenomics and Rewards:

   1. Starting January 2025, we are allocating 25 million APEX tokens from the treasury for ApeX Omni users to fuel ecosystem growth and community building.

   2. Enhancing token utility by several key updates that will be introduced gradually:

      • Weekly Buybacks: APEX to be purchased from the secondary market and redistributed as staking rewards, incentivizing long-term holding and staking.

      • VIP Fee Discount Structure: Tiered trading fee discounts to reward loyal APEX stakers, enhancing their trading experience on the platform.

2. ApeX Trading Chain & Multi-Chain Universe Expansion:

   1. Developing the ApeX Trading Chain to integrate $APEX as a trading fee token, further solidifying the role of our native token within the ecosystem.

   2. Partnering with innovators like zkLink X to develop secure and decentralized multi-chain trading infrastructure.

3. AI-Driven Social Trading, Enhanced Perpetual Trading & Seamless Spot Trading:

   1. Introducing AI Agent tools to significantly enhance the omnichain spot trading experience.

   2. Transitioning from AI signals to fully automated AI Copilot DeFi operations for effortless passive income generation.

   3. Supporting yield-bearing assets as collateral, allowing our traders to earn yield while actively trading perps.

   4. Introducing a "pre-market" feature to allow you to capitalize on opportunities before assets hit broader markets.
