# Introduction

### 1. Game Overview

**Apes Win** is a memecoin competition with seasons which are 69-hour long. It creates a trading environment built around two main currencies:

* **Bananas** (voting resource)
* **$COIN** (native in-game currency)

Players earn both currencies primarily through crates, with $COIN also being swappable into Bananas.

Each game cycle, which lasts 69 hours, the community votes using Bananas to select meme coins for listing against $COIN:

* **Top two voted meme coins** get listed and bonded against COIN.
* **Third-place coin** receives a small consolation reward.

Once listed, meme coins are evaluated based on their performance, determined by:

* Trading volume
* User engagement
* Monthly community vote by $WAGMI holders

High-performing coins have the potential to "graduate," earning permanent liquidity paired with $S. This process happens once per month, and allows people who hold the token relative to coins, to earn an allocation relative to S.
