== About The Apiens ==
"Apiens is a collection of meta inspired fashionable young 3D apes which started with a vision to make blockchain integrated clothes for NFT enthusiasts back in January 2022. Apiens’ characters are the combination of youthfulness, fashion, and dignity which are going to inspire the next generation of fashion."

"Please note that the number of Apiens holders shows a substantially lower number in Opensea due to the Apiens staking program. This is due to the staked Apien NFT’s being held in a contract instead of a wallet, thus the number of Apiens holders drops."

"GENESIS APIENS are the 10 historic genesis pieces that encapsulate the vision, purpose, and story of the APIENS Community. Its Exquisite design, compelling texturing, and innovative clothes will forever inspire the fashion world."

"Once you interact with these fake bots they will snag your discord token, giving them instant access to your account without 2FA or your password."
