• AIP-528: Dissolve The Marketing & Communications Working Group by MemeBrains - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 11, 2024, 5:39 p.m.
  Content: Catching up on this whole thread above, good comments by a lot of people, shoutouts to @PhilWatkins (happy belated bday!!) and @nataliecrue for chiming in as they have, to @popil for producing the recent report and working without budget for quite some time, and to @SmartAPE for having posted this thread in the first place for us to all discuss and move forward positively from. I feel very engaged by the discussion above and agree with a lotta points by many of the contributors. I feel it’s both relevant and ethically correct for me to share that Popil was quite helpful with the launch of Public Bored at ETH Denver. She didn’t include this in her report so I’ll share; She went far out of her way to coordinate engagement and reach with Made by Ape Brands. Over a dozen of them listened to her outreach and actively engaged with the Public Bored as a direct result of her support. She did outreach with them, communicated the Public Bored activation in Denver, coordinated a Space for the topic, created her own intake form to accept art, gave me detailed specs on the correct use and application of the ApeCoin logo and some of the complexities of having Yuga and ApeCoin on the same branding, and then also put me directly in touch with some of them as well. At the end of the day, my top priority is aligned with most people here, that of seeing a successful, decentralized, and sustainable DAO. And to that effect, the successful launch of ApeChain seems to be where our fate resides. Any concerns I may have from the past can all be relieved by seeing ApeChain launch successfully, and by seeing all parties within all WGs unite together on that front in a clear and concise manner. I currently do not have proper clarity on the degree that this may or may not be happening. Perhaps there is a thread, report, plan or otherwise someone could point me to on this regard, or even by way of a response. Moving forward, which direction are you currently feeling inclined to proceed with, between those 3 general options you outlined? SmartAPE: It gets extended as fact-finding continues It gets withdrawn if responses are satisfactory It goes to vote where the final deposition is up to the DAO

I currently do not have proper clarity on the degree that this may or may not be happening. Perhaps there is a thread, report, plan or otherwise someone could point me to on this regard, or even by way of a response. The only thread is this one. Thus far, nothing to report. Implementation Update | AIP-454: The BANANA Bill: Apes Gotta Eat MemeBrains: Moving forward, which direction are you currently feeling inclined to proceed with, between those 3 general options you outlined? At this moment, I am still undecided. The issue that I am having difficulty reconciling is that, of the two current WG stewards, Popil appears to be the only active one. The other guy is basically a no show. And we have a 3rd MarComms steward on the way.
  • furiousanger: MemeBrains: At the end of the day, my top priority is aligned with most people here, that of seeing a successful, decentralized, and sustainable DAO. And to that effect, the successful launch of ApeChain seems to be where our fate resides. Hi mate, Agree with the first part, but the last sentence “Apechain seems to be where our fate resides” for me is totally wrong and I’ll explain why. Apechain like staking is just another idea the DAO has funded. Our mission - push web3 forward by funding what’s next - that shouldn’t end or be marked as complete. So linking the fate of the DAO to an idea, no matter how monumental it appears or large the funding amount, seems limiting to me. Staking was 175m, many see this as a total waste of money, and they argue it’s what got us to $0.70c and value 98% down. However, the DAO still carries on. I think apechain will certainly see many users (new and old), lots of hype, and tonnes of use cases at first (just like most new chains enjoy), and ofc I’ll be there fully supporting always. But will apechain continue to thrive over thousands of other chains long-term? Who knows - I hope so - but we should never be willing to bet the future of the DAO on an idea’s outcome. Tl;dr - let’s not get too mixed up, intertwined and dependent on one idea we’ve funded. We’ll hopefully fund many more hundreds and possibly thousands of ideas. Clear separation is always needed imo. Focusing on how we benefit from the successful ideas we fund, and not relying on them for our future, is how we should be moving forward - ensuring we achieve “a successful, decentralized, and sustainable DAO.” Thanks.
• AIP-515: The Public Bored - Phase 2, Take 2 (Resubmission) by MemeBrains - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 6, 2024, 4 p.m.
  Content: ORIGINAL PROPOSAL: AIP- 457 : The Public Bored - Phase 2 CHINESE TRANSLATION HERE 中文翻译在这里 原始提案： AIP- 457 : The Public Bored - Phase 2 - # 19 by Chris.Admin 重新提交的更新： 此次重新提交反映了ApeCoin生态系统中的重大市场更新以及社区反馈。原始的AIP是在香蕉法案通过之前撰写的，当时$APE的价格为 1 . 30 美元，自那时以来，整体可用的金库规模大幅缩减。基于这一情况，我已缩小了项目范围，因此也减少了成本。此外，我们现在已经获得了一些外部风险投资的资金，帮助我们抵消了部分成本并平衡了整体预算。我们仍然非常希望在这个项目的长期扩展策略和奖励中包含ApeCoin。 范围和成本的减少： 大幅缩短了项目周期，由外部投资者的投资抵消 = 减少约 70 % 取消了购买物理数字广告牌的计划 = 100 %减少 取消了所有会议活动的启动 = 100 %减少 将DAO在技术方面的股权份额减少至 2 . 5 % 公共Bored代币发行的时间推迟到未来日期，并分离出不同的范围 将此AIP的整体成本从最初提交的 270 万美元减少到 25 万美元 我们选择放弃 7 天的AIP构思阶段，直接进入AIP草案阶段。 提案名称： AIP- 457 : The Public Bored - 第二阶段 团队介绍： 我是MemeBrains，在现实生活中是Eric Gilbert-Williams。我的联合创始人BossDragon和我通过AIP- 267 在ApeCoin.com上构建了金库透明度仪表盘，并在apecoingwg.com上构建了治理仪表盘。我们在以太坊丹佛黑客马拉松的DAO和社区赛道中获胜，并长期积极参与ApeCoin DAO和Mocaverse的活动。我们也是AIP- 383 的成功作者。 我是一个多次创业者和运营领导者。我开发了一款ERP软件，帮助我将之前的公司从一个个人创业项目发展到一个 60 人团队，年收入超过 600 万美元。我还制作了一档DAO播客和一档慈善心理健康播客。 MemeBrains Twitter: x.com BossDragon是一位充满活力的Web 3 构建者，多次创业者，热衷于初创生态系统。他的现实生活名字是Bhargav Patel。作为他前公司Performance IQ的创始CTO，他的领导和技术专长推动该平台获得了超过 2000 万用户，最终被Battery Ventures成功收购。 BossDragon Twitter: x.com 提案描述： 本AIP旨在通过股权参与一个高度可扩展的商业模式来增加DAO金库的规模，该模式由两位非常活跃的ApeCoin和Mocaverse社区成员创立，他们在创办和成功出售公司方面有着良好的记录。此外，该AIP直接帮助将新的社区成员引入DAO，并为ApeCoin和Mocaverse生态系统提供了向风险投资和消费市场曝光的机会。 The Public Bored的目标是让在全球任何数字广告牌上展示内容变得像发推文一样简单。我们在经营之前的一家公司时发现了广告牌行业的重大痛点。我们的商业模式是为广告牌所有者创建一个市场平台，帮助他们增加收入，并接触到一个更大的TAM（可总目标市场），就像数字广告牌行业的AirBNB。我们的目标是在大约 20 个城市扩展，达到 1 亿美元的年收入。我们都是在该领域有丰富经验并多次成功创业的创始人。 我们的 2 分钟演讲曾在知名天使投资人Jason Calacanis主持的著名科技初创公司播客《This Week in Startups (TWIST)》上亮相。通过以下YouTube链接收听: 2 分钟演讲观看链接： https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxKQgetM 6 gA&t= 635 s 我们的部分在 4 分 32 秒处。 Screenshot 2024 -

MVP Launch of a Digital Billboard Network 5 第二次进展更新： The Public Bored AIP- 383 Transparency & Accountability Update 3 第三次进展更新： The Public Bored AIP- 383 Transparency & Accountability Update # 3 与$APE一起构建 & 欢迎来到ApeCoin空间 通过在The Public Bored网站主菜单中推广我们的“Build with $APE”页面，我们正在促进与ApeCoin生态系统的更深层次整合。 在 6 , 600 多次网站访问中，超过 500 人访问了我们的Build with $APE页面，初步转化率达到了 8 %。我们目前正在帮助这些用户加入ApeCoin DAO。 随着我们扩大这一模式，我们的目标是触及数百万人。 Build with Ape页面链接：Build with $APE - The Public Bored 专利申请中 The Public Bored的创新技术已获得专利申请状态，在NFC里斯本活动前提交了临时专利申请，以保护在公共数字屏幕上显示内容的方法。这一步对于建立防御性立场至关重要，为未来与投资者的扩展努力奠定基础。 外部资金 截至目前，我们已从Jason Calacanis和Antler VC获得了总计 27 . 5 万美元的投资，并承诺了另外 25 万美元的资金，这些资金将在本AIP成功通过后开始解锁。 Jason在公司初期以 100 万美元的估值与我们达成协议并进行了投资。在我们取得一定进展后，Antler VC以 270 万美元的估值进行了后续投资。Antler额外的 25 万美元资金将在我们达到 1000 万美元的估值时开始解锁，以匹配ApeCoin DAO所获得的条款。 在过去的 7 个月里，我们在向 10 亿美元以上的目标估值迈进的过程中取得了重大进展，并很高兴能让ApeCoin DAO参与到这一旅程中。 行业和我们的策略 我们为那些有兴趣深入了解行业和我们策略的人准备了以下文档： 链接 对ApeCoin生态系统的益处： 股权与投资条款： ApeCoin DAO将获得该项目 2 . 5 %的股权。The Public Bored的目标是达到超过 10 亿美元的估值，从而为DAO金库带来约 2500 万美元的回报。（用于讨论的简单数学计算） 版税： AIP- 383 承诺的 20 %收入分成将继续，直到AIP- 383 的所有资金全部返还DAO金库。 免费展示空间： 一部分展示空间将专门为ApeCoin DAO及其合作伙伴网络保留，包括$APE持有者、BAYC/MAYC、Mocaverse、JRNY Club、Otherside、Surreal Guild、Made by Apes品牌、Elite Apes、Bored Canada、French Apes、UK Apes、Bulls on the Block以及所有ApeCoin代表。 用$APE支付的激励： 任何用$APE支付的人将获得额外的展示时间奖励。 生态系统招聘与入驻： 我们网站上的“Build with $APE”页面及其相应的AIP作者指南将进一步扩展，鼓励并帮助新的建设者加入ApeCoin社区。 我们的“欢迎来到ApeCoin空间”将在X平台上继续运行。 实施步骤： 对于此AIP，基金会没有任何预期要求。 当我们完成以下列出的实施步骤、建立可持续的经常性收入，并创建一个供其他广告牌所有者加入的网络模型后，此AIP将被视为完全实施。 2024 年第四季度： 关键绩效指标 (KPIs) 首位广告牌所有者入驻： 完成我们与数字广告牌所有者的现有讨论，激活网络中的第一个永久性数字广告牌。 技术增强： 对我们的技术平台进行改进，并推出移动应用程序。 人员配备： 招聘并培训最多 3 名社交媒体人员，包括一位领导职位，以执行我们在今年早些时候于ETH Denver和NFC Lisbon成功实施的营销策略。该团队将专注于通过我们的病毒式营销计划吸引整个城市。 成本 运营成本 -

The original AIP was written before the passing of the banana bill and when $APE was at $ 1 . 30 , since then the overall available treasury size has decreased substantially. In respect of this, I have reduced the scope and therefore also reduced the cost. Additionally, we have now received some outside VC funding which has helped us offset some of this cost and balance our overall budget. We would still very much like to include ApeCoin on the long term scaling strategy and rewards of this venture. Reductions to Scope & Cost: Reduced the length of runway significantly, offset by investments from outside investors = ~ 70 % reduction Removed the purchase of physical digital billboards = 100 % reduction. Removed all conference event activations = 100 % reduction Reduced equity stake in the tech aspect of the venture for the DAO down to 2 . 5 % Removal/Separation of the Public Bored token launch to a future date and separate scope Reduced the Overall Cost of this AIP down to $ 250 k from the originally submitted $ 2 . 7 M We choose to forego the 7 -day AIP Idea phase and to enter directly into AIP Draft phase. PROPOSAL NAME: The Public Bored - Phase 2 , Take 2 (Resubmission) TEAM DESCRIPTION: I am MemeBrains online and Eric Gilbert-Williams IRL. My Co-founder BossDragon and I built the treasury transparency dashboard on ApeCoin.com through AIP- 267 , and the governance dashboard on apecoingwg.com. We won at the Ethereum Denver Hackathon in the DAO & Community track and are long time active participants with the ApeCoin DAO and the Mocaverse. We are also the successful authors of AIP- 383 . I’m a repeat founder and operational leader. I developed an ERP software that helped me grow one of my prior companies from a solo venture to a team of 60 , achieving over $ 6 M ARR. I also produced a DAO podcast and a philanthropic mental health podcast. MemeBrains Twitter: x.com BossDragon is a dynamic Web 3 builder, repeat founder, and entrepreneur driven by a passion for the startup ecosystem. His IRL name is Bhargav Patel. As the founding CTO of his former company, Performance IQ, his leadership and technical expertise propelled the platform to adopt over 20 million users before its successful acquisition by Battery Ventures. BossDragon Twitter: x.com PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: This AIP aims to increase the size of the DAO treasury by way of equity participation in a highly scalable business model, founded by two very active ApeCoin & Mocaverse community members with successful track records for building and selling companies at profit. Additionally, this AIP directly helps to onboard new community members into the DAO and provides significant exposure for the ApeCoin and Mocaverse ecosystems to venture capital and consumer markets. The Public Bored aims to make displaying content on any digital billboard in the world, as easy as sending a tweet. We discovered serious pain points in the billboard industry while owning a previous company. Our business model is a marketplace for billboard owners to increase their revenue and to open up access to a much larger TAM (total addressable market), like an AirBNB for digital billboards. Our path to $ 100 M ARR is to expand to approximately 20 cities. We are both repeat successful founders with notable experience relating to this field. Our 2 -minute pitch was featured on a major tech-startup podcast called This Week in Startups (TWIST), hosted by the prolific Angel Investor Jason Calacanis.

Out of 6 , 600 + website visits, over 500 people engaged with our Build with $APE page, achieving an 8 % initial conversion, and we are currently in the process of helping onboard these individuals into the ApeCoin DAO. We aim to reach millions as we expand this model.

This step is vital for establishing a defensive position crucial for future scaling efforts with investors. OUTSIDE FUNDING We have so far received investments from Jason Calacanis and Antler VC totaling $ 275 k, with a further $ 250 k committed which will start unlocking upon the successful passing of this AIP. Jason invested with terms we agreed to at the earliest stage of the venture at a $ 1 M valuation. Antler came in next after we achieved some traction to invest at the $ 2 . 7 M valuation. Antlers additional $ 250 k would start unlocking at the $ 10 M valuation to match the terms which the ApeCoin DAO would be receiving. We have made significant progress throughout the past 7 months towards our $ 1 B+ target valuation and are excited to include the ApeCoin DAO on this journey. INDUSTRY & OUR STRATEGY We prepared the following document for those who are interested in learning more about the industry and our strategy: Digital Billboards - The Industry & Our Strategy - Google Docs BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM: Equity and Investment Terms: The ApeCoin DAO will receive a 2 . 5 % equity stake in the venture. The aim of The Public Bored is to exceed a $ 1 B valuation, and therefore send ~$ 25 M back to the DAO treasury. (simplistic math for discussion purposes) Royalties: The revenue sharing of 20 % from the AIP- 383 promise will continue until all funds from AIP- 383 are sent back to the DAO Treasury in full. Free Display Space: A portion of display space will be reserved exclusively for the ApeCoin DAO and our network of partners, including $APE hodlers, BAYC/MAYC, Mocaverse, JRNY Club, Otherside, Surreal Guild, Made by Apes brands, Elite Apes, Bored Canada, French Apes, UK Apes, Bulls on the Block, and all ApeCoin Delegates. Pay with $APE incentives: Bonus display time will be provided to anyone paying in $APE. Ecosystem Recruitment & Onboarding: The Build with $APE page on our website with its corresponding Guide for new AIP authors will be expanded upon, encouraging and helping new builders to join the ApeCoin community. Our Welcome to ApeCoin Spaces on X will continue. STEPS TO IMPLEMENT: There are no expectations from the Foundation for this AIP.

• AIP-506: Update treasury dashboard to reflect pre-allocated funds by MemeBrains - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Aug. 29, 2024, 11:47 p.m.
  Content: For the other data in the dashboard we did some custom backend work and also plugged into the Coinbase API For this update above, if someone wanted to (Foundation or otherwise) commit to tracking and updating all the data into even a simple google spreadsheet possibly, we could potentially just plug that data into the Dashboard. Any mistake on the spreadsheet however would result in a mistake displayed on the Dashboard so it would need to be properly maintained.

  Content: Do you know how we get API access to the figure which needs to be reflected? I’m wondering who is coordinating that revolving figure, and where it’s stored. We would need access to it in order to integrate with the Treasury Dashboard and before we can comment properly on the scope or costs.

  Content: SmartAPE: Transparency in the financial activities of the DAO is, now more than ever, vital to the survival of the DAO. And the treasury dashboard was designed to provide this much-needed transparency. 100 % agreed, financial transparency is pivotal for any sort of rational decision making If there’s a confirmed scope from the Foundation then it should be covered by whatever budgets already exist inside the various org structures of the DAO to implement some changes

This post is to seek further support from the community as it scales. :building_construction: Inspiration for this initiative is drawn in large part from the Welcome Apes Spaces held for new BAYC/MAYC hodlers, however this initiative is specifically for new $APE hodlers. :fire: With the launch of ApeChain, we can expect a MAJOR influx of new DAO members. Let’s be proactive in onboarding them as best as possible. My first true introduction to the ApeCoin DAO came through ApeComms. It was life-altering for me, and I draw a lot of inspiration and lessons from observing @Lost do what he does. I’ve been successfully trialing this concept with participants and customers from my approved AIP- 383 The Public Bored, and now it feels appropriate to expand to the broader ecosystem. :earth_americas: Phase 1 : A series of Twitter Spaces called Welcome to the ApeCoin DAO :loudspeaker: The focus is specifically on new DAO members and potential members who may still be on the fence. I give free $APE to those courageous enough to come on stage, introduce themselves, and ask questions. Co-Hosts and Speakers help guide new members to the correct resources to get off to a good start within the community, as well as give DAO updates and do some ‘DAO shop talk’. Encouragement is provided for new community members to start with building their reputation in the DAO, by leveraging their unique talents and skills to help existing community projects and initiatives. 3 Spaces have already been hosted, with a 4 th one coming up soon (RSVP below) Space # 1 , July 11 th Recording Here Note: Twitter seems to have rugged this space, it was called 'Welcome to ApeCoin, had 300 + ppl, and was working fine until last week, now the name and attendance is changed and I’ve heard people can only hear my voice Space # 2 , July 19 th Recording Here Space # 3 , July 26 th Recording Here Space # 4 , :arrow_forward:Coming up August 13 , RSVP here :arrow_backward: Phase 2 : A Twitter raid of new members in the style of $APE follow $APE :apekinyes: A Welcome tweet is sent out welcoming all new members with the following graphic (may change in the future) and is re-shared by everyone. APECOINDAO_Twitter_A 1600 × 900 446 KB Phase 3 : TBD - this is a work in progress :pray: Everyone in this DAO can do our part to help growth of our awesome community and stability in the price of $APE.

I think this is a great initiative, and do believe we will be seeing a large influx of new users and builders. I say run it!
