# Apache Swap

## Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

**Apache Finance** (APACHE) is the next generation of Automated Market Making (AMM) decentralized exchange with a deflationary governance token model. We are your go-to yield farm running on Binance Smart Chain and Pancakeswap exchange, with lots of other features that let you earn tokens.

As with the current wave of second generation yield farms, the aim is to create a perpetual deflation token, the APACHE, with a continual burn mechanism in order to field an environment that can sustain long term gains with consistently high APR for greater earnings.

## Features <a href="#features" id="features"></a>

**Burning Mechanism**

We have implemented a perpetual burning mechanism that serves as a mechanism to ensure that APACHE is kept consistently high. In particular:

* A 2% burn fee will be charged at staking;
* 80% of the burn fee will be used to buyback APACHE and burn it;
* 10% will be sent to the developer’s address;
* 10% will be held in escrow for Apache Swap, for future projects; and
* We're in the process of introducing unique Apache NFTs as a further means by which APACHE will be burned so as to keep the value high.

**Security**

* Timelock added to contract at launch; and
* Removed migrator code (inherited from Pancake swap).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://apacheswap.gitbook.io/apache-swap/master.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
