UPDATE: Per our Governance Proposal the ApeSwap BUIDL Program has been sunset and the remaining cohorts have been graduated! See this Proposal for all the details, we will no longer be accepting applicants for this program.

For the Apes that don’t know, ApeSwap is a quickly growing Decentralized Exchange on Binance Smart Chain.

We are expanding the jungle! To further collaborate and support up and coming gems 💎 in the Binance ecosystem, we have committed to offering a fast-track partnership program + rewards to any project that adds liquidity to ApeSwap and meets a number of criteria 🐵
