ApeSwap is a new platform, right?
Wow, I should look for this T&C and also see some reviews whether this is indeed legit or not.
Maybe it is high enough because of still a new platform, we don't know whether it will decrease or not after several months later, earlier may be better
It came after Pancakeswap but I wouldn't say it's new. They had a marketing campaign here before which was managed by @Hhampuz.
Anyway, they pride themselves for having their own liquidity pool and router unlike many platforms on BSC that are still routing through PCS.
At the moment, they are competing with other projects on Binance MVB II (Most Valuable Builder) program. They made it to the top 10 and will most likely shoot for the top 3.
They are also on Polygon (cross-chain).
About the rates,every platform changes APR depending on the liquidity/demand. IIRC, the rate was higher when those pools were first launched.
