The Bored Ape Yacht Club is the creator behind some of the most talked-about and traded NFTs in the Metaverse, with their impressive collection of 10,000 unique apes. Their recent dive into the wider cryptocurrency sphere saw the release of ApeCoin (APE), an ERC-20 token that aims to fund a variety of projects—including play-to-earn games.
This venture will be a collaborative effort alongside nWayPlay, which was responsible for developing the Olympic Games JAM for Beijing 2022. It specializes in incorporating NFTs into play-to-earn games, which empower gamers to cash in on their gameplay wins.

The upcoming Bored Ape Yacht Club game is expected to adopt ApeCoin into its ecosystem. Following the pattern of previous play-to-earn games, it's likely that players will be able to earn APE or a derivative of it through gameplay. There's also a huge chance for NFTs to make their way into this collaboration—a move that many other blockchain-based games have been jumping on, whether through exclusive character, skin, and resource releases.
The gaming community remains polarized about the appearance of cryptocurrencies and NFTs in video games, but there's certainly an audience for it. For now, the Bored Ape Yacht Club fans have something to look forward to—because more apes are on the way.
