Owning a fraction of APE DAO through APED tokens confers part ownership of the DAOs assets, governance rights for future purchases and for the functioning of the DAO in general, access to the private discord server and many other perks and benefits including priority access to DAO art projects.

Although 'APED' was the ticker assigned at the deployment of the Baddest Alpha Ape Bundle Token's smart contract, it is also in use by another asset with a larger market presence and higher trading volume on major exchanges. To avoid confusion in the marketplace, the alternative ticker 'BADDEST' has been adopted for this token. This designation ensures that assets are distinctly identified.
