ApeChain and Mintify Launch Zero-Fee Trading Partnership

Okay Bears, a Solana NFT collection, is launching free Otherside avatar mints on ApeChain at 5PM ET. The integration is powered by [LucidChain](https://lucidchain.com), which bridges AI, ApeChain, and Solana ecosystems. **Key Details:** - Free avatar mint for Okay Bears holders - Launches new games on [OtherGamesXYZ](https://othergames.xyz) - Cross-chain functionality between Solana and ApeChain - Part of Otherside metaverse expansion This marks a technical milestone in cross-chain interoperability, allowing Solana-native NFTs to exist on ApeChain while maintaining their original blockchain identity. The move brings Solana's NFT community into the Yuga Labs ecosystem.

**ApeCoin ($APE) has achieved significant distribution** through Project RAID, making the token accessible to millions of Coinbase mobile app users via Jupiter Exchange on Solana. **Key developments:** - Integration enables seamless access for Coinbase's massive user base - Distribution powered by Jupiter Exchange's infrastructure on Solana - Part of broader Project RAID initiative launched in October 2025 **Multi-chain availability:** ApeCoin is now tradeable across 75+ chains including ApeChain, Ethereum, Solana, and Hyperliquid through Mintify. This expansion represents a major accessibility milestone for the community-governed token designed to support cultural initiatives in web3.

**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.*

**Otherside expands its ecosystem** by welcoming three established NFT communities to ApeChain this week. The new additions include: - **0n1Force** - established digital collectibles community - **Quirkies NFT** - proven cultural contributors - **Good Vibes Club** - long-standing community builders These communities have **demonstrated their cultural impact** through years of consistent building and engagement in the web3 space.
