GeezOnApe, the 3D gorilla NFT collection, has announced a new initiative that will allow its holders to claim $SERUM tokens via "Serum Passports." The announcement, made by the official $SERUM account, highlights the role of GeezOnApe founder RidazLp2, stating, > "Nothin but a Geez thang. Few do more for the space than @RidazLp2, and as long-term supporters, we’re welcoming our Associates to the fold with $SERUM." This move aims to reward loyal community members and expand the utility within the ApeChain ecosystem.
GeezOnApe is a collection of 5,555 3D gorilla NFTs built on ApeChain, a Layer-3 blockchain developed by Yuga Labs, the creators of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. The project focuses on creating a unique "swamp culture" with vivid storytelling and weekly professional animations, distinguishing itself within the NFT space. RidazLp2, a prominent figure in the ApeChain community, is recognized for his contributions to the ecosystem.
The $SERUM token in this context appears to be a utility token within the ApeChain framework, likely distinct from the original Serum decentralized exchange (DEX) token (SRM) that operated on Solana and was impacted by the FTX collapse. This new iteration of $SERUM and its associated "Serum Passports" are designed to provide direct benefits to GeezOnApe holders, integrating them further into the evolving ApeChain landscape.
This partnership underscores a growing trend of NFT projects enhancing their ecosystems by offering tangible rewards and expanded utility to their communities. By welcoming GeezOnApe Associates into the fold with $SERUM, the initiative strengthens the bond between the project and its supporters, leveraging the burgeoning infrastructure of ApeChain. This strategic alignment aims to foster deeper engagement and provide additional value to the GeezOnApe community.
