Happy May, ApeXers! As always, our team is dedicated to enhancing your experience on ApeX, ensuring that we're at the forefront of innovation and continuously bringing you the latest developments.

Let's dive into what's been going down at ApeX this past week.

1. esAPEX12 Strategic Solution Live

The esAPEX12 strategic solution to sustainably manage the pre-sale token unlocks for the core team and early investors is now fully implemented! As announced earlier this week, we've established an esAPEX12 pool on the Mantle Network (click here to view the deployed contract on Github) where newly released $APEX tokens will be invested and locked according to the initial unlock schedule. These locked tokens will generate $esAPEX12, which can then be sold via the same pool to a third party, with a 12-month lockup period.

Upon depositing tokens in the esAPEX12 pool, investors and core team members will receive LP tokens based on their initial investment ratio that represent their right to receive sales income from $esAPEX12 in USDT. Third party purchasers will be able to buy $esAPEX12 tokens at a discounted rate of 40%. After the mandatory 12-month lockup period, they can withdraw and burn $esAPEX12 to receive $APEX.

As highlighted above, the esAPEX12 pool is set up to allow for controlled token releases, moderating the token influx into the market while safeguarding the interests of all parties involved — the team, the investors and the community. For a detailed look at the mechanics of this strategy, refer to our blog.

2. Switch to Non-Custodial Wallets and Enjoy 10 USDC Bonus

In case you missed it, in light of evolving regulations, we're encouraging you to transition to non-custodial wallets for enhanced security, and full control over your digital assets. To incentivize you to make this move, we've set up a prize pool of 10,000 USDC!

The first 1,000 participants who switch to a non-custodial wallet before May 13, 2024 at 10 AM UTC will each receive a 10 USDC bonus. Don't miss out on this opportunity to embrace self-custody and earn 10 USDC! For all the details, check out our blog. If you've already made the switch, claim your rewards here.
