Users on BNB Chain Must Migrate Assets to Continue Earning RewardsTo implement the hard cap that was passed through DAO governance, ApeSwap is implementing a new suite of upgraded BNB Chain smart contracts.<h2 id="header-0">Why Do I Need To Migrate?</h2>To date, the MasterApe <a href="https://www.bscscan.com/address/0x5c8D727b265DBAfaba67E050f2f739cAeEB4A6F9" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">smart contract</a> has been the primary contract controlling BANANA emissions on BNB Chain. One major limitation of the current version of the smart contract is that it cannot facilitate fine-tuned changes to the rates or distribution of BANANA emissions. In other words, it can either have emissions turned on, or turned off.To achieve finer control over BANANA emissions, including the implementation of the hard cap and maximum supply of 420M BANANA as voted on by the DAO in <a href="https://discuss.apeswap.finance/snapshot/apeswap-finance.eth/0x7c816da506f35d6932cf759faf81b221d566942d9472111fb795ab63150760a9" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Gov Prop 22</a>, we need to upgrade the legacy MasterApe contract.We’re ready to implement this upgraded BNB Chain contract, aka MasterApe V2, as of the 26th of January, 22:00 UTC. However, to ensure that users are able to continue earning the rewards emitted by that new contract, users must migrate staked assets from the old MasterApe contract to the new MasterApe V2 contract.<h2 id="header-1">What Assets Need To Be Migrated?</h2><img src="https://miro.medium.com/max/1400/1*SyEFN1G0shDbC-PoaZTbyQ.jpeg" />Assets staked in the following ApeSwap products (Only on BNB Chain) need to be migrated to continue earning rewards:<ul><li>All BANANA Farms: <a href="https://apeswap.finance/farms" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Farms Page</a></li><li>All BANANA Maximizers: <a href="https://apeswap.finance/maximizers" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Maximizers Page</a></li><li>The Stake BANANA, Earn BANANA Staking Pool: <a href="https://apeswap.click/BANANA-Pool" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pools Page</a></li></ul>The following products are not affected by the hard cap migration:<ul><li>Any pool besides the BANANA-BANANA pool</li><li>Any Jungle Farms</li><li>Any Treasury Bills</li><li>LP tokens themselves</li><li>Any non-BNB Chain products (Polygon, ETH, Telos)</li></ul><h2 id="header-2">How Do I Migrate?</h2>ApeSwap has been working hard the last several months to ensure that the migration is as smooth and easy for users as possible.Users can visit the dedicated Hard Cap Migration page which will go live 48 hours prior to the migration (Jan 24th, 22:00 UTC), to migrate their assets.
