As we turn four years old, the future’s looking bright for ApeBond. Since our rebrand, we’ve transformed the DeFi landscape, achieving monumental milestones that have solidified our position as the leading Web3 Bonds platform. In just a short time, we’ve expanded to 10 blockchains, distributed value to thousands of users, bonded over $20 million, and forged partnerships with over 200 incredible projects.
But we’re not stopping here. As we move forward, we’re making strategic changes to enhance the utility of ABOND and drive its value upwards. Our commitment to innovation and sustainability remains unwavering, and we are taking decisive steps to reduce the circulating supply of ABOND while delivering new benefits to our loyal community.
A New Strategic Direction
We’re well aware of the market challenges and ABOND’s price situation. That’s why we’re pivoting towards a more sustainable and value-driven approach to reinforce the strength of our ecosystem and our beloved ABOND token. Here’s what’s changing:
1. Tier Gating — A New Era for Bonds
Bonds sold on ApeBond will gradually require users to hold a minimum Ape Tier. To achieve a Tier, users will need to stake ABOND in our Tier Staking page.
- This system removes ABOND from circulation and locks it in staking pools.
- Higher tiers unlock better Bonds, premium access, and exclusive opportunities.
- It’s a natural way to connect bond buyers with the ABOND token!
2. Expansions & New Launches
We will continue to expand our platform and introduce new campaigns where users must hold a Tier to participate. This approach will further enhance ABOND’s value and demand.
- New blockchains, even beyond EVM (wink), will require higher Ape Tiers for early access.
- ABOND holders will always have access to exclusive events, airdrops, and special campaigns.
Our upcoming ChirpPad Launch on February 18th will be the first of many new high-tier opportunities.
3. ABOND Revenue Share — Aligning Incentives
A Revenue Share from all Bonds in our platform will be distributed to ABOND holders via Real Yield. The fees collected will directly benefit the ecosystem by aligning incentives with all ABOND holders.
- Sustained Revenue Share will increase price stability and reduce supply pressure.
- Users will have aligned incentives with the platform — more Bond volume will result in more yield for every ABOND holder!
4. Extra Discounts for Dedicated Holders
Our Extra Discount utility is very close to being finished and will soon reward our holders with additional discounts on every Bond they acquire.
- Better Tier equals higher discounts!
- This directly benefits our most committed community members.
A Leadership Transition for a Stronger Future
As part of our strategic evolution, ApeBond is undergoing a leadership transition. We extend our thanks to Scott, whose contributions helped ApeBond grow after the rebrand from ApeSwap.
Stepping up as the new CEO is Lanky, our previous CMO. His experience, vision, and relentless commitment to the ApeBond’s mission make him the right leader to guide us into this exciting new chapter.
Bullish Times Ahead for the Apes!
2025 marks a new phase for ApeBond — one where our platform continues to innovate, our community grows stronger, and our ecosystem flourishes. With these updates, the ApeBond community is positioned to benefit more than ever before.
The best is yet to come. Stay tuned, stay engaged, and get ready for the next wave of DeFi innovation! 🚀
