ApeCoin (APE) is an ERC-20 governance and utility token that operates exclusively on the Ethereum network. Users commonly swap APE to participate in ecosystem activities, rebalance portfolios, or move value into or out of Ethereum-based projects. Because APE runs on Ethereum, swaps are subject to the network's variable gas conditions.
Exchange ApeCoin
Before exchanging ApeCoin
Before swapping ApeCoin, confirm your receiving wallet supports ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum — sending APE to an address that does not support the standard can result in inaccessible funds. Since APE exists only on Ethereum, there is no network selection to make; all transactions route through a single chain. Ethereum confirmation times can vary depending on network congestion, so factor that in if timing is relevant to you. No memo or destination tag is required for APE transfers. The Zest widget displays the expected output amount before you confirm, so review that figure carefully before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions
APE is an ERC-20 token, so you need an Ethereum-compatible wallet that explicitly supports ERC-20 tokens. Most popular self-custody wallets satisfy this requirement, but if you are sending to an exchange deposit address, verify that the platform supports APE deposits before initiating the swap.
APE transactions are settled on Ethereum, meaning network fees — commonly called gas — apply and fluctuate based on overall chain activity. High congestion periods can slow confirmation times and increase the cost of on-chain settlement. This does not affect the quoted swap rate on Zest, but it is worth considering when you are timing a transaction.
Minimums vary by pair and network. The exchange widget shows the exact minimum and maximum for your selected pair before you confirm, so you can check the limits before sending anything.
No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial: you send from and receive to wallets you control, and the rate is shown before you confirm.
