# The $YAPE Token

Yape Club is powered by the $YAPE token, launched in early September via the CreatorBid Launchpad.  With a fixed supply of 21 million, $YAPE is designed around an inflation-neutral economic model, driven by platform fees, buybacks, and B2B budgets. Rewards grow alongside platform activity, ensuring alignment between projects, creators, and the community.
