ApeX Trading Chain and Multi-Chain Ecosystem Expansion:
The team will launch a transaction chain using APEX for fees to further solidify the native token's role in the ecosystem.
Additionally, ApeX is committed to expanding the multi-chain ecosystem in collaboration with partners like zkLink X, jointly developing a secure decentralized multi-chain trading infrastructure.
