ApeCoin whales want to leave Ethereum
A few weeks ago, the team of Yuga Labs the company behind BAYC, implied that the token a digital unit designed with utility in mind, providing access and use of a larger crypto economic system. native to the project, ApeCoin (APE) , he needed to move to his own Blockchain a distributed ledger system. A sequence of blocks, or units of digital information, stored consecutively in a public database. The basis for cryptocurrencies. citing at the time the challenges associated with high transaction fees and congestion experienced by users on the native blockchain Ethereum .

However, the media also points out that the distribution of tokens between wallets does not necessarily indicate an even distribution among the actual members of the community, as one entity could control several wallets and thus have de facto control over the project in terms of power.
