The City of Lights will be looking more like the City of Apes next week as the ApeCoin DAO, ApeChain, and Yuga Labs take over NFT Paris with four different panels, a booth, and a DAO-funded attempt at breaking the world record for the largest Gin & Tonic ever!
Things will be anything but boring on February 13th and 14th as an estimated 20,000 Degens gather to say bonjour at the fourth annual NFT Paris!

The Yugaverse and ApeChain will be well-represented among the 400+ speakers and 200+ side events next week as official partners.
Over the two-day event, $Apes and Apes will host four spotlight panels:
1 Art of ApeChain with artist Vinnie Hager and Yuga Labs’ IllaDaProducer.

2. FREE TO CLAIM: Translating CryptoPunks From Pixel To Paper with Yuga Labs CryptoPunks GM Natalie Stone and some notable Punks and artists.

3 Made By Apes: Brand Building with Decentralized IP with Yuga Labs’ Cameron Kates and Bad teeth.

4. Unlocking The Future: How ApeChain's Empowering the Internet's Most Creative Minds to Build with Imagination. With Yuga Labs’ Cameron Bates, ApeCoin Special Council Member Waabam, and DGenNetwork Founder SteveKBark and Coffee With Captain Co-Host Chris Jourdan.

Apes’ and $Apes’ inclusion at NFT Paris is thanks to Ape Improvement Proposal 496, titled “ApeCoin DAO at NFT PARIS 2025,” written by ApeCoin’s former Metaverse Working Group Steward Dim.Eth. The proposal secured $169,420 USD worth of $Ape to fund the event, hand out merch, host an ApeCoin treasure hunt at NFT Paris, and more.
“Can't wait to see you all in Paris next week,” Dim tweeted today. “This ApeCoin sponsorship came to life through AIP-496 and we have a lot to show you! A dope booth, a dope event, a dope collab(), and dope panels! Oh yeah, and dope merch. Like reaaaaally dope merch! More soon... Special thanks to Maggi, @spicytinaa and @LabMax for their amazing work.”
Along with making moves at the official NFT Paris event, $Apes will be hosting a lit side event funded by the ApeCoin DAO, aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the largest Gin & Tonic ever poured.
