NEAR Protocol jumped into the top 20 crypto rankings in April. On CoinMarketCap, it is currently ranked 20th, with a total market capitalization of over $10 billion, up from $5 billion in March. By providing unique developer and consumer capabilities, NEAR Protocol aims to distinguish out in the crowded industry of Web 3.0 infrastructure providers.

GMT governance token is the primary token of STEPN, being utilized for transactions like making purchases. STEPN is a Web3 move-to-earn app that integrates a variety of NFTs, with in-built Game-Fi and Social-Fi elements on the Solana blockchain. 30% of total GMT will be distributed to STEPN users through move & earn and governance participation.
- APE (ApeCoin)
The APE token was created as a decentralized protocol layer for various community-led projects that drive culture into the metaverse. APE is the governance and utility token of the APE ecosystem, and is based on the ERC-20 standard. The APE ecosystem empowers decentralized community building at the forefront of Web 3.0, with the ApeCoin serving the purposes of governance, unification of spend, access, and incentivization.

- AXS (Axie Infinity)
Axie Infinity Shards is an ERC-20 governance token built primarily for Axie Infinity, a play-and-earn game. Players need to have AXS to play the game itself, but the AXS token can also be traded like Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or any other cryptocurrencies.
