Leading decentralized exchange ApeX Protocol has unveiled several strategic initiatives targeting the growth and valuation of its native crypto asset, $APEX token. The project aims to cement itself as an innovative player in the crowded DeFi space through commitments to robust tokenomics policies and product development that directly feeds into $APEX’s success.
“We are gearing up for transformative changes to our tokenomics model, crafted specifically to benefit our community members and elevate $APEX’s market standing,” said Tekla I, Head of Business Development at ApeX Protocol.
The first change comes in the form of a monumental 50% total supply reduction for $APEX tokens. With originally 1 billion tokens in circulation, this move cuts available supply to 500 million. Apex executed its first step towards this goal on January 18th by burning 150 million tokens, leaving 850 million $APEX currently accessible.
“Constricting supply while demand rises or holds steady drives up valuation based on economic principles,” Tekla I explained. “We aim to chip away at circulation through quarterly burns, making $APEX more scarce and valuable in holders’ hands.”
Liquidity Incentives Across Chains
In parallel, ApeX looks to empower its community members through lucrative liquidity incentives. The project plans to host native liquidity pools with Ethereum on high-traffic DEXs such as Camelot and AGNI located on various blockchain networks.
“We are strategically positioning incentive programs across chains, allowing our diverse user base to contribute no matter their chain preference,” noted Tekla I. “Liquidity providers will take home both hosting DEX and $APEX rewards for supporting our growth.”
The cross-chain liquidity pools intend to make contributing easy for all users while spreading awareness of ApeX Protocol across communities. Liquidity mining initiatives give users additional tokens on top of trading fee dividends.
Enhancing Staking Rewards
Finally, ApeX Protocol aims to boost incentives for its existing token staking programs. The platform currently offers yield farming opportunities through its $APEX and $esAPEX pools. Contributors receive real yields in USD Coin each week based on factors like staking duration.
As per the upgrade, users can now opt to lock their staked assets for set timeframes in return for higher yield shares. This locks in liquidity while rewarding loyal community members.
Tekla I reiterated ApeX’s commitment to strategic tokenomics and product development that directly feeds into $APEX performance, cementing its goal to keep rising in the DeFi ranks. With initiatives now set in motion, the protocol looks primed to deliver on this vision.
