Season 1 was the warmup. What comes next changes everything.
APE Season 2 isn't just another points program. It marks a fundamental shift in what ApeX Protocol is building and where your loyalty is taking you. For the first time, we're pulling back the curtain on what's ahead.
ApeX Is Evolving
ApeX Protocol is no longer just a perpetual DEX. It's becoming the flagship engine for an entirely new trading infrastructure.
We're building a high-performance trading chain, and ApeX will serve as its first dedicated Broker, providing advanced trading tools and deep liquidity gateways for the entire network.
Here's where it gets interesting: ApeX will utilize a sophisticated Builder Code mechanism that allows it to capture value from trading volume across the entire chain. Every trade executed on the network strengthens the ApeX ecosystem and bolsters the value of the APEX token. This is a new revenue paradigm, one that scales with the chain's growth while maintaining ApeX's lean structure.
This isn't a pivot. It's an expansion. The trading experience you know is about to get faster, deeper, and more rewarding.
Your Points Just Got More Valuable
Here's where it gets interesting for Season 1 participants.
In Season 2, Ape Points undergo a fundamental transformation. They're no longer just loyalty markers or leaderboard scores. Your points are now your exclusive ticket to the new trading chain.
By holding Ape Points, you position yourself as a Genesis Builder, capturing value from the earliest days of a new network. The traders who believed early get access first. That's the deal.
If you retained points from Season 1, you're already ahead. If you're still deciding how to allocate your rewards, consider what early access to a new chain's genesis might be worth.
The Timeline
We're moving fast. Here's what's locked in.
Mid to Late February 2026: Testnet goes live. Early point holders receive priority access to experience the chain's ultra-low latency and performance firsthand. This is your chance to test, explore, and prepare before the wider launch.
Within Q1 2026: APE Season 2 officially kicks off. The full incentive framework goes live, along with a series of high-yield growth initiatives designed to reward active participants from day one.
What We're Not Telling You (Yet)
This is a trailer, not the full feature. There's more to reveal about tokenomics, reward structures, and exactly how the new chain will operate. Those details are coming.
What we can say: the foundation is set, the timeline is aggressive, and the opportunity is real.
Stay Ready
The gap between Season 1 and Season 2 isn't downtime. Trades executed on ApeX Omni during this window count toward Season 2 retro calculations. Staying active now means you're already earning before the starting gun fires.
More details drop soon. Until then, hold your points close.
The next chapter is almost here.
