We're thrilled to join forces with ApeCoin and Horizen Labs as their official Rollups-as-as-Service partner to launch ApeChain as an Arbitrum Orbit L3, and welcome the ApeCoin community to the Caldera ecosystem.

What is ApeChain?

ApeChain is a gaming-focused L3 designed to serve as a home base and cornerstone for the Ape community, offering high performance, ultra-low fees, and a dedicated infrastructure layer for upcoming games in the ApeCoin ecosystem.

Through Caldera and Arbitrum's custom native token feature, ApeChain will utilize $APE as its native gas token, providing significant utility to the token while enabling a rich native economy powered by $APE.

Leveraging Caldera

In addition to cutting edge performance, ultra-low gas fees, and a custom native token, Caldera will equip ApeChain with a suite of complementary tools right out of the box, including a Bridge Interface, Block Explorer, and On/Off ramp for a seamless onboarding process.

To achieve industry-leading throughput and unprecedented performance, ApeChain will utilize Arbitrum Anytrust for data availability, leveraging a trust-minimized Data Availability Committee to securely scale.

The Ape community is no stranger to the spotlight, and we're incredibly excited to join them in their journey to continue leading the way and breaking new ground in Web3 gaming & consumer.
