The Ape Pass is a free companion NFT minted to $APL holders at the time of the June snapshot. It's not a separate purchase — it's a transferable proof-of-hold that:
- Stacks with VIP perks across ApeLeague, Vol Bot, Predikt, WeSearch.
- Is tradeable on Magic Eden / Tensor — secondary market becomes a "yield curve" for early holders.
- Acts as a Discord role gate for the upcoming holder-only channels.
The Pass is not a guarantee of price action — it's a way to maintain the holder community even if holders sell the underlying $APL.
