APENFT is a platform created with an aim to bridge the gap between top-notch artists and blockchain technology. As per the whitepaper, the platform endeavors to help artists overcome the problems faced with the traditional method of making artworks accessible to people and supporting NFT artists' growth. Due to the development of the market economy, the demand for paintings is also increasing in society. However, the drawbacks of the traditional trading market for artworks pose great difficulty in fair trading. Some of the disadvantages are as follows: 

APENFT seeks to address these main problems using blockchain technology by enabling the process of registering artworks as unique NFTs. Non-fungible tokens are unique, non-interchangeable, indivisible, and secure. Moreover, the team at APENFT believes that the many advantages of blockchain technology, such as decentralized data storage, immutable, open, and transparent records of transactions, data security, and low-cost structure, can bring a digital revolution in art. 

In other words, APENFT wants to encourage creativity, increase the value of artworks, and initiate a trend in the future art industry, all by underlying blockchain technology and NFTs.  

Blockchain technology enables the mapping of digital content or art pieces on the blockchain network to create digital collectibles of asset nature. These assets are registered in the form of non-fungible tokens. In addition, the information and key details related to the artwork, such as the source, delivery process, and transaction history, are digitized and stored on the blockchain network. Once it is done, the aim is for the information to become tamper-proof and secure, leaving no room for fraud.  

The company's core business includes:

Further, APENFT is backed by Ethereum and TRON blockchains with distributed storage system BitTorrent File System (BTFS) to deliver the mission of registering artworks as NFTs. Artworks are made into unique ERC-721/TRC-721 tokens on-chain. ERC-721 is the token standard on the Ethereum blockchain and refers to non-fungible tokens. TRC-721, in the same way, is the standard found on the TRON blockchain.  

APENFT's collection initially holds artworks from renowned artists like Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Beeple, Pak, and Boris Artzybasheff. Moreover, the company plans to invite influential art creators and researchers to join the advisory team.  

NFT is the native token of the platform. NFT is an ERC20/TRC20 token. NFT is also a governance token enabling token holders to vote on the major decisions of the platform, share profits, and participate in community events. Token holders are also eligible for rewards on the platform.  

The company was officially registered on March 29, 2021, in Singapore. The team's core members are experts from the traditional art industry. They are experienced in renowned art institutions like Christie's and Sotheby's. Other team members are professional engineers and blockchain technology experts.
