How To Store & Secure Your ApeCoin

What is ApeCoin?

ApeCoin is sort of the “official” currency of the web3 metaverse economy made by Yuga Labs, the creator of the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection (as well as its derivative collections such as Mutant Ape Yacht Club and Bored Ape Kennel Club), and now also the owner of the Crypto Punks and Meebits NFT collection.

That, and holding ApeCoin gives you some power over the ApeCoin Decentralized Autonomous Organization or “DAO”. Pretty much almost like having shares over the ApeCoin ecosystem.

What wallet should I use?

ApeCoin is currently an Ethereum ERC20 token. So just like any other ERC20 token, you can store your ApeCoin on reputable Ethereum wallets like MetaMask; or preferably, through a reputable hardware wallet like a Ledger nano X if you’re holding a significant amount.
