ApeCoin (APE) and Render Token (RDNR) are based on the Ethereum network; Fantom (FTM) has its own mainnet.
APE was among trendy coins a while ago, along with other meme coins. APE strives to create an ecosystem on the basis of BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) NFTs and MAYC (Mutant Ape Yacht Club). It has a decentralized community that governs the token via ApeCoin DAO, which was created by Yuga Labs – the company that initially created the aforementioned collections of Ape NFTs.
At the time of this writing, RNDR is changing hands at $1.91 after a 1.62% decline over the past 24 hours, FTM is down 1.9% over the same period of time and trading at $0.2573. As for ApeCoin, its current price stands at $2.05, as it has added 3.55% on the news of the Bithumb listing.
