It also helps build their ApeBond position, increase their Ape Points, grow their True Yield earning power, and move them closer to higher Ape Tiers. In simple terms, eligible Bond activity now feeds directly into the ApeBond ecosystem. ### From Bond Purchases to ApeBoost Position When a user buys an eligible Bond, part of that Bond activity contributes to their ApeBoost position. This position is connected to permalocked ABOND inside True Yield. As users keep buying eligible Bonds, their position grows. This increases their Ape Points and strengthens their weight inside the True Yield system. That means every eligible Bond purchase can help users: * build Ape Points * progress toward Ape Tiers * increase their USDT earning power * unlock better Bond conditions over time * contribute to permanent ABOND locking There is no extra step required. ApeBoost is integrated directly into the bonding flow. ### Ape Points, True Yield, and USDT Rewards ApeBoost does not only affect tier progression. Because the user’s ApeBoost position is connected to permalocked ABOND, eligible Bond activity can also increase their participation in [True Yield](/apebond/products-and-features/tier-staking-and-true-yield.md). True Yield distributes USDT rewards to eligible veABOND positions. As ApeBoost grows a user’s position, it can also increase their USDT APR and earning weight inside the system. This is important because users do not need to wait until they manually build a large position before their Bond activity starts working for them. Every eligible Bond purchase can help grow their position, generate Ape Points, and improve their USDT rewards potential. > New to ApeBond? Some wallets may also qualify for a one-time Welcome Bonus on their first eligible Bond purchase.

Even without reaching a tier threshold, their eligible Bond purchases can start building an active position in the ApeBond ecosystem. This means there is no idle phase. A user can start with no tier, buy eligible Bonds, and still begin accumulating Ape Points and growing their True Yield earning position. Over time, this activity can help move them toward their first Ape Tier. ### Users With an Existing Ape Tier For users who already have an Ape Tier, ApeBoost builds on top of their existing position. Each eligible Bond purchase can add more weight to their position, increase their Ape Points, and move them closer to the next tier. As their position grows, their USDT APR and True Yield earning power can also increase. This creates a compounding effect: * the user buys eligible Bonds * their ApeBoost position grows * their Ape Points increase * their True Yield earning power improves * they move closer to stronger tier benefits * future Bond purchases can receive better conditions ApeBoost makes Bond activity more valuable for both new users and existing tier holders. ### Ape Tiers Ape Points determine a user’s Ape Tier. Higher Ape Tiers unlock stronger benefits across ApeBond, including extra Bond discounts, access to special Bonds, ecosystem rewards, and governance-related utilities. Current Ape Tiers include: * Silver: 10,000 points * Gold: 50,000 points * Diamond: 200,000 points * Legend: 500,000 points * Mythical: 1,000,000+ points Each tier gives users an extra discount boost on Bond purchases, with higher tiers unlocking stronger boosts. > ApeBoost can also optimize tier upgrades automatically when buying eligible Bonds. If reaching the next tier creates more value for the user, the system can handle it in the same transaction.

A portion of eligible Bond sales is used to acquire ABOND and stake it into True Yield. These positions are permalocked, which means the ABOND is removed from active circulation and cannot be sold back into the market. As eligible Bond volume grows, more ABOND becomes permanently locked into veABOND. Over time, this creates a structural effect: * reduced circulating supply * stronger alignment between users and the protocol * more locked value supporting the ecosystem * more Bond activity feeding into True Yield * deeper connection between Bond volume and ABOND utility ApeBoost does not just reward users. It also tightens the supply side of ABOND and connects Bond volume directly with long-term ecosystem value. ### The ApeBoost Loop ApeBoost turns bonding into a connected ecosystem loop: Bond purchase → ApeBoost position → Ape Points → True Yield → Tier progression → Ecosystem rewards Eligible Bond activity can now help users buy tokens at a discount, build their position, earn USDT rewards, unlock better conditions, and support the long-term strength of ApeBond. What used to be separate actions is now connected through a single compounding system. ### Availability ApeBoost is live across most eligible EVM Bonds. When ApeBoost applies to a Bond, users will see the relevant information directly during the Bond purchase flow. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
