What is PAPE?

PAPE is a “new‑generation Web3 character” and frames each token as a **multi‑format identity** you can take into creative and interactive contexts—**3D, 2D, and pixel**. That positioning is front and center on the project site. (PAPE)

PAPE is a cross‑format Web3 avatar collection—each NFT comes as a character designed for 3D, 2D, and pixel use cases. (PAPE)
It lives on ApeChain and trades on Magic Eden and OpenSea. (Magic Eden)
Supply: 2,222 items; Launch: May 2025 (per OpenSea collection metadata). (OpenSea)
We requested 3D files from the PAPE team and received Blender (.blend) models for two PAPE NFTs—strong signal that this project backs up the “your Web3 identity” promise with usable assets (screenshots in this post).
If you build games, animations, or 3D prints, PAPE is a compelling “plug‑into‑your‑pipeline” identity layer.

This multi‑format stance matters. Most avatar collections start as flat PFPs and—maybe—ship 3D later. PAPE markets the formats as part of the core product, which sets expectations that holders will actually receive assets they can use.

Chain, marketplaces & discoverability

PAPE launched on ApeChain, the EVM chain built around the Bored Ape ecosystem. It’s tradable on Magic Eden’s ApeChain marketplace and listed on OpenSea as well. Magic Eden added ApeChain support in late 2024, which is why you’ll find native liquidity there. (Magic Eden)

Collection quick facts (from OpenSea):

Supply: 2,222 items
Network: ApeChain
Launched: May 2025
These appear right on the OpenSea collection header at the time of writing. Numbers like floor/volume change constantly, so check the live page before you act. (OpenSea)

What we tested (and why we’re impressed)

We didn’t just browse—we asked for files. Our team opened a support thread with PAPE and received two high‑fidelity Blender files (.blend) corresponding to our PAPE NFTs. Each file weighed in around 700–715 MB, which tracks with production‑level character models. That holder experience—ticket → delivery of 3D—is exactly what “Web3 identity in 3D” should look like.👍

Note: Our screenshots document the process and outcome for our request; always follow PAPE’s current holder instructions for asset access.

Why PAPE fits Rule Mobile’s ecosystem

Game‑ready identity. Because assets exist in 3D, they slot into Unity/Unreal or real‑time pipelines with less guesswork. For devs building racing sims, social worlds, or mini‑games, having a consistent character spec shortens the distance from token to playable avatar.
Creator‑friendly formats. The 2D and pixel variants open the door for thumbnails, stickers, stream overlays, and merch drafts without re‑rendering the 3D.
ApeChain momentum. With Magic Eden supporting ApeChain and aggregating liquidity, builders get a familiar marketplace + tooling surface for discovery and analytics.

How to get started (safely)

Learn the project. Skim the official site to understand the vision and that PAPE is constantly in development. (PAPE)
Browse listings. Check PAPE on Magic Eden (ApeChain) and OpenSea. Verify network = ApeChain and confirm contract details match the official links. (Magic Eden)
Join the community. Follow @PapeFamily on X for updates, mints, and team announcements. (Tip: Watch for posts about new utilities or team hires—good signals.) (X (formerly Twitter))
Request holder files. After purchase, follow PAPE’s current process to access 3D files. (Processes evolve—always use their official channels.)
Build responsibly.

What to watch next

Tooling & access flow. As PAPE productizes file access (self‑serve portal, standard rig, GLTF/FBX packs), expect a wave of fan‑made content.🙌
Ecosystem collabs. ApeChain is attracting more games and identity projects; PAPE’s cross‑format approach makes it a natural collab target. Magic Eden’s ongoing ApeChain work should help visibility. (The Block)

Final take

PAPE’s promise—“your Web3 identity” across 3D/2D/pixel—isn’t just marketing copy. From our test, holders can obtain actual 3D models suitable for creative work, which makes PAPE unusually builder‑friendly. If you’re composing a brand, game, or animated short inside Rule Mobile’s universe, PAPE is one of the cleaner “buy → build” pipelines on ApeChain right now.
