* APES is a reward mechanism to encourage platform usage, players’ activities, content creation, or other ecosystem-specific functions. Petto drives platform incentives with its native token, rewarding players for their efforts and loyalty. 
* APES can be earned by owning a Petto, playing games in the Pettoverse, or delivering value-adding activities to benefit Petto and the entire community. 
* APES holders will receive rewards, access to exclusive benefits in the metaverse.
* Petto is built on Polygon with the goal of creating its own chain with a marketplace and own wallet. 
* By playing and transacting within the Pettoverse, the players are supporting endangered animals. We will donate 15% of all revenue generated by the game to the wildlife
