The Bored Ape Yacht Club has opened a digital marketplace where users can purchase apparel, collectibles, art, and unique items from club members using $APE tokens on ApeChain. **Key Features:** - Transactions conducted exclusively with $APE on ApeChain - P2P dashboard access for buying and bidding - Open to all users - BAYC or MAYC ownership not required **Community Development:** A community member has developed a free wardrobe app allowing Ape holders to customize their NFTs without artistic skills. The tool features hand-drawn art and real-time layer separation, with integration into the main BAYC site being proposed. The marketplace represents another step in building community-driven infrastructure around the APE ecosystem.

**ApeCoin introduces major tokenomics change** with all $APE used for ApeChain gas fees now being **permanently burned**. Key details: - Burns include **all fees since ApeChain's launch** - Token burns will **accelerate as Otherside grows** - Part of ApeCoin's focus on creating a sustainable **economic loop** This deflationary mechanism could reduce $APE supply over time as network usage increases. The move represents a significant shift in ApeCoin's monetary policy, potentially impacting token value through supply reduction. *Monitor ApeChain activity to track burn rates.*
