Meta Apes operates on the BNB Application Sidechain (BAS), which allows it to have its own dedicated chain, known as the Ape Chain. The game incorporates blockchain technology to ensure decentralization and ownership, meaning the game-related data lives on the blockchain instead of a centralized server. This allows players to truly own the assets they acquire from dedicating their time and resources into the game. The game features various key components such as building, competition, community, and exploration. Players can grow their city via resource production and management, engage in PvP and PvE battles, collaborate and strategize with other players in their Gang, and travel around the map to discover a world full of surprises.
