Ape2Earn Bonding Competition
Competition is an optional Ape2Earn experience. A participant joins with a linked wallet, and eligible ApeBond purchases made during the published period add their USD amount paid to a public Bonded ranking. Each competition sets its chain, a fixed list of eligible bonds, dates, and any rewards.
How is Bonded calculated?
Bonded is the sum of USD paid for eligible ApeBond purchases by the wallet selected for that competition, within its published dates and chain or bond scope.
Which bonds count?
The eligible ApeBond contracts are fixed when TEAM publishes a round and are listed on its public page. A new bond launched later does not enter an existing round.
Is participation automatic?
No. Linking a wallet for ApeBond Tier does not join a competition. Participants review the public visibility notice and explicitly choose to join.
Can a competition have rewards?
Yes. The Ape2Earn team may configure rewards for particular competitions. Published competition rules show whether rewards are available and how placements qualify.
