At the first, I think you just typo by typed $BANANA with banano meanwhile after I read your entire post I'm pretty sure you had come to the wrong place mate.
This is the ANN thread apeswap ($BANANA) which is one of defi projects on BSC network. But what you are talking about earlier was banano ($BAN) the memes coin which forks from Nano.org, and here's their ANN ->

- Type with ticker $BANANA, $BAN, $BANANO, anything
- Check the project name from the ticker.
- If you see the project name is different, the website is different, and the usecases are different too, the ticker you choose is not correct.
In the future, if possible, the ApeSwap team can consider to contact and build up partnership with $BAN. If it can be done, some coins and tokens relate to Ape will be included in one ecosystem which operates on the ApeSwap DeFi.
I think it will be the future of crypto, cross-chain and multiple-feature, -chain platforms.
