CNFTs, or Cardano NFTs, are non-fungible tokens on the Cardano blockchain network.
On February 27th, 2023, Cardano-based decentralized exchange (DEX) CSWAP announced a partnership with the Ape Nation NFT project. According to the DEX, Ape Nation aims to “build and lead one of the most recognized CNFT projects with true long-term appeal.”
CSWAP has not only announced the partnership with glee but also praised the Ape Nation team for its “unmatched tenacity and a commitment to excellence,” sharing some of the NFT project’s characteristics that the DEX reportedly admires.
Admirable Apes
CSWAP has shared a list of reasons the DEX admires the Ape-themed NFT project, including that the Ape Nation leadership “resurrected” the project from abandonment.

In addition, community centrism and passion for utility are more admirable characteristics of the Ape Nation, according to CSWAP. Moreover, CSWAP applauds the Ape Nation because NFTs can be staked to earn six different cryptocurrency tokens, and original NFTs can be “mutated” with “special vials.”
With the new partnership, original Ape Nation NFTs can be staked “non-custodially” for stakers to earn $CSWAP. “NFT staking and ISPO (CSWP1/CSWP2) are the only ways to get pre-launch access” to the CSWAP token, per the announcement.

The Cardano DEX has also launched a “CNFTGiveaway” where the winner will receive a complete set of three Ape Nation NFTs, including original, V1, and V2 digital collectibles.
The partnership is expected to increase exposure to the NFT project and the DEX, with community members opining that CSWAP and Ape Nation will be “stronger together.”
Rise of the Nation of the Apes
Ape Nation is a collection of 9,999 NFTs minted on the Cardano blockchain.
In light of the new partnership, holders are aping into the project, with Ape Nation NFT sales spiking 378.20% and NFT transactions up 150% over the past 24 hours.
Cardano NFT sales have increased across the board over the last 24 hours, with the total NFT sales volume up 36.61% and the total NFT transactions on the network spiking 53,72%.
Despite notable developments across the Cardano ecosystem, including the launch of the DJED stablecoin and the announcement of multiple strategic partnerships, the price of ADA remains in the doldrums. At the time of writing, ADA is trading at $0.36, recording an 8.76% dip over the past month.
