Meta Apes is the first game to launch on BNB’s new Binance Application Sidechain (BAS) architecture and is one of the most anticipated Web3 games of 2022. Derived from the popular Age of Apes mobile game, Meta Apes brings together all of the fun gameplay users love with Web3 incentives and monetizations that crypto users have come to expect. Meta Apes will launch on BAS, a sidechain within the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) ecosystem. This allows increased flexibility and efficiency for developers. In many ways, the launch of Meta Apes is a game-changer that has serious implications for the future of Web3 gaming. Through Meta Apes, Ankr is launching the very first instance of what is known as a BAS. It means that developers can build blockchains (sidechains) that are designed to suit the needs of their unique application.
