  Content: Yes. it’s align with @yatsiu suggestion few months ago (Move Apestake staking protocol to Apechain). good for TVL (more asset on chain) good for ApeChain onboarding (I’ve face staggering to explain about ETH Stake and APE in ApeChain) good for community (see us adopted their feedback) good for innovation (giving us the option to re-think how to make it better, updated, and relevant for ApeChain DNA / benefit - example, allocate reward for hackathon devs as an NFT holders support; create fun small game that only NFT holders can play and get reward of) good for tech (ApeChain is super fast and cheap) best, -Mr. Hype :fire:

• AIP-490: Expansion of ApeChain Presence at Token2049 Singapore by MisterHype - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Aug. 15, 2024, 9:12 p.m.
  Content: Hi @adventurousape, Thank you for the thorough questions and feedback. You’re absolutely right—the initial proposal was crafted when we were planning a larger side event, which is why the duration and team size reflected a more extended commitment. I’ve been able to make the changes, thanks to @ 12 GAUGE.Admin. We’ve aligned the budget and logistics more closely with the primary event at Token 2049 . Here’s an updated breakdown: Team Expenses: We’ve reduced the team size to 6 members, each playing a crucial role in setup, operations, and representing the DAO at the event. This downsizing is in line with the scaled-back sponsorship and event focus (I’ve not confirm yet the team but in talk with DAO members and the foundation to have both sides presented as I did for Lisbon and doing now for WebX). KPI: Success will be measured by engagement at the booth and the quality of partnership leads for ApeCoin DAO and Banana Bill. At Lisbon, we gathered over 300 leads, and me, @AllCityBAYC, and the rest of the team are still in contact with many AIP potential authors. There’s a lot of interest, and some technical teams are already working hard on proposals. Cost Breakdown: We’ve closely reviewed the booth production and marketing costs. While they might seem high, they’re pretty standard for events of this size (I’ve shared detailed explain for each ask). That said, I’m committed to negotiating the best possible rates—any leftover funds, as mentioned in the proposal, will go back to the DAO treasury. Duration: We’ve shortened the stay to four days and reduced the team size to six. As for shared accommodations, I see things a bit differently—I believe it’s important to give each team member their own space to recharge after long days so they can be at their best the next day. I hope these changes address your concerns. I look forward to any further questions or feedback you may have. -Mr. Hype :fire:

• AIP-490: Expansion of ApeChain Presence at Token2049 Singapore by MisterHype - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: July 24, 2024, 7:59 p.m.
  Content: Hi @DavidW, Thank you for your interest and questions. The team has not been fully confirmed yet, but in the process of finalizing this. I assume that the team will largely comprise individuals who are currently part of our WebX team. Regarding the sponsorship tier, we’ve chosen the Platinum level—down from Title—because it’s the minimum required to secure a speaker slot, which is crucial for our visibility and engagement at the event. After reviewing the GovHack AIP, I decided to remove the side event from this AIP. AllCity’s initiative combined with our participation in Token 2049 should provide sufficient coverage and impact without overlapping efforts. Best, -Mr. Hype :fire:

  • alok: Is this a purely marketing collab, or will you host some tech workshops/content too? I’m trying to gauge the tone of the event if it is more targeted toward Apechain’s visibility or some tech education is involved as well.

  Posted on: July 17, 2024, 10:33 a.m.
  Content: ORIGINAL PROPOSAL: https://forum.apecoin.com/t/aip- 419 -expansion-of-apechain-presence-in-key-asian-events/ RESUBMISSION UPDATES: Due to concerns from the community regarding transparency and costs, I am resubmitting AIP- 419 with significant revisions. We will now focus solely on the Token 2049 event in Singapore in September, as this event should be the most significant after our exposure at the end of August in WebX Japan, and this big event in Singapore and its combination with Formula 1 weekend race and our Alpine F 1 partnership, seems to be a great way to end the launch of ApeChain. Updated Proposal Details: Lowered the level of sponsorship from $ 400 k to $ 120 k for the Gold tier at Token 2049 Singapore due to community feedback. Consolidated focus to Token 2049 Singapore exclusively, removing participation from other events previously proposed. We choose to forgo the 7 -day AIP Idea phase and request to enter directly into the AIP Draft phase. PROPOSAL NAME: Expansion of ApeChain Presence at Token 2049 Singapore TEAM DESCRIPTION: I am Mr. Hype, lead organiser and enthusiastic member of the ApeCoin community. Team includes individuals with expertise in event management, sales, and asian culture. Preferred communication platform: Discourse (Username: MisterHype). PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION: This proposal focuses on enhancing ApeChain’s presence at Token 2049 Singapore in September. We will secure gold sponsorship, produce an engaging booth featuring AIPs, ApeChain, and cover team expenses. BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM: Participating in Token 2049 will increase ApeChain’s visibility and adoption, strengthening ties within the Asian blockchain community and fostering engagement within the ApeCoin ecosystem. STEPS TO IMPLEMENT: Implementation Period: Aug 2024 - Sep 2024 Expected Term: 2 months Execution Phases: Aug 2024 : Close Sponsorship with Token 2049 Singapore Team During this phase, we aim to finalise sponsorship agreements with the Token 2049 team event, ensuring gold-level participation. Additionally, all actions would be synchronised with ApeChain partners and approved by the Ape Foundation. Milestones and KPIs: Secure Gold sponsorship by mid-August. Receive confirmation of speaker slot and exhibition space (if available). Confirm Booth Design(if available). Cost: Sponsorship: $ 120 K Marketing: $ 25 K Booth Design and Production: $ 80 K ** Note: The sponsorship will not be limited and will be adjusted according to what is available at the time of confirm the sponsorship. Sep 2024 : ApeCoin Presence at TOKEN 2049 Our team will arrive in Singapore (late sep) to participate in the TOKEN 2049 event during the Singapore F 1 race week. Activities include booth operation and speaker presentations. Milestones and KPIs: Setup and operational readiness of the booth. Successful delivery of the scheduled talk. Engagement metrics such as visitor count at the booth, number of leads generated, and attendee feedback. Cost: Team: $ 16 . 5 K (includes travel, accommodation, and daily allowances for the team). These reports will be made available on the Forum after Token 2049 execution and will share detailed information. REPORTING EXPECTATIONS: We commit to sharing progress reports with the community throughout the implementation period. Receipts for all expenses will be provided. Any funds not utilized as specified will be returned to the DAO. For instance, if the marketing budget of $ 30 , 000 ends up costing only $ 20 , 000 , the remaining $ 10 , 000 will be returned to the DAO, ensuring accountability and transparency. OVERALL COST: Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund = $ 241 , 500 . 00 in APE Budget Breakdown $ 120 k for Gold sponsorship Lowered the level of sponsorship due to community feedback A 36 sqm customisable premier exhibition space Official TOKEN 2049 closing party ApeChain 15 min speaking slot Logo displayed on stage where we intro partners Logo featured as Gold Sponsor on website and brochure Logo displayed on signages across the venue 6 x event tickets which, to guests or team" $ 80 k for booth production A 36 sqm customisable ( 1 sqm / $ 2 k) Focus on ApeChain, AIPs, ApeCoin DAO Structure, Onboarding ideas to fund 1600 × 900 1 . 43 MB $ 25 k for Marketing Materials Marketing Campaign for ApeCoin at Token 2049 Interactive Displays showcasing ApeChain’s features ApeCoin Branded Merch Estimated breakdown: 70 % for branded merchandise: ApeKin toys, shirts, fans, bags, hats, bottles, and mascot shipping. 30 % for the marketing campaign: video content, printed materials, and physical displays. $ 16 . 5 k for team expenses Travel expenses for 6 people Flights: Estimated at $ 1 , 200 per person for round-trip four to Singapore.

  • DavidW: MisterHype: Team includes individuals with expertise in event management, sales, and asian culture. Is the 8-person team already chosen? Can they be listed, since their expertise is directly relevant to the success of the AIP? Also, Is platinum tier the only one that you are considering? This AIP seems to have some really positive possible synergies with AllCity’s GovHack AIP (ApeCoin DAO GovHack: Singapore, Token2049).
• Thoughts on APE_U cohort first day and how it can compliment upcoming Banana Bill by MisterHype - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: July 8, 2024, 9:30 a.m.
  Content: Hi @ 0 xSword, Thanks for the awesome update on the APE_U ! APE_U sounds like a game-changer for us proposal writers. The author fellowship, workshops, and coaching programs are exactly what we need to step up our game. We also should learn from other DAOs, hope the program include that. Talking about games, so yes, Banana Program about to shake things up with the new allocations and partner negotiations - it can drive ApeChain more efficiently than AIP process in our DAO. Thanks again for sharing this! -Mr. Hype :fire:

• AIP-457: The Public Bored - Phase 2 by MisterHype - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: June 25, 2024, 11:41 p.m.
  Content: Hi @MemeBrains, I want to start by expressing my appreciation for you and your team’s incredible work, seeing you guys in Lisbon was a true bullish on web 3 builders. Your dedication and innovation have significantly contributed to the ApeCoin ecosystem, especially helping moving to the next phase → growth. Your proposal is also quite impressive to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with digital billboards… However, I have a few questions and suggestions that could further strengthen this proposal: Could you provide more details on how the 20 % equity stake and ongoing royalties will be managed? How will this benefit the ApeCoin DAO in the long term, and what are the projected financial outcomes? The integration of the Public Bored token on ApeChain is a bold move, as you start to connect digital to real estates, I would consider having tokenomics that include that vertical, can bring a true layer of utility. You guys need to include your plans with WebX, Japan ( 28 th Aug). I look forward to seeing this proposal come to life and would be interesting to see the community respond. Best, -Mr. Hype :fire:

Your dedication and innovation have significantly contributed to the ApeCoin ecosystem Thank you fam! It’s a pleasure to serve this community and buidl in this space MisterHype: Could you provide more details on how the 20% equity stake and ongoing royalties will be managed? How will this benefit the ApeCoin DAO in the long term, and what are the projected financial outcomes? Let’s dive deeper into the financial model with some references Revenue: For NFC Lisbon, we branded The Public Bored as “Bringing Times Square Vibes to Lisbon.” To understand the potential for The Public Bored, let’s examine the revenue model of Times Square. To gain firsthand experience, we purchased screen time on a Times Square billboard for The Public Bored (see image below). This helped us identify limitations within their model, and opportunities for us. Times Square features a prominent street-level billboard on a bustling New York corner. It’s available to the public at $150 per image, providing 15 seconds of screen time every hour for 24 hours. This totals 6 minutes of exposure for $150. The maximum revenue potential for the Times Square billboard is $36,000 per day, ie: $13,140,000 annually for their single billboard location. Times Square has not expanded this model beyond New York, leaving significant market potential for us. They’ve redefined engagement and revenue in the digital billboard industry, and we aim to take this concept to thousands of other digital billboards globally. While Times Square may not be fully booked every day, its potential revenue is the key metric. Traditional digital billboards, such as those along highways, typically generate around $100,000 - $400,000 annually. The Times Square model demonstrates the potential to exceed this by more than 10x. We successfully applied this model at ETH Denver and NFC Lisbon throughout the past several months and aim to scale it further using the funds from this AIP. Equity: The Public Bored intends to follow a traditional venture-backed tech business model, aiming for either an IPO or a significant acquisition within the next 5-10 years. AirBNB went public with a valuation exceeding $100 billion. If the ApeCoin DAO treasury were to capture just 10% of this value, it would more than triple the current treasury balance at the time of this writing. This highlights the transformative potential of following a proven venture-backed growth strategy. For those unfamiliar with the ‘traditional venture-backed model,’ let’s explore this concept in more detail. In the initial description for this AIP, I mentioned that The Public Bored aims to create an AirBNB-style network for billboard owners. To provide context, let’s look at AirBNB’s venture-backed model. Here’s the details: Airbnb went through several funding rounds before its IPO, each contributing to its growth and valuation: Seed Round (2009): Funding Amount: $620,000 Investors: Y Combinator ($20,000) and later Sequoia Capital and Y Ventures ($600,000) Revenue: Initial revenue target was $2 million Series A (2010): Funding Amount: $7.2 million Investors: Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, and others Valuation: $70 million Revenue: By this time, Airbnb’s revenue growth was notable but specific figures are not detailed Series B (2011): Funding Amount: $114.9 million Investors: Andreessen Horowitz, DST Global, General Catalyst, and others Valuation: $1.3 billion Revenue: Continued rapid growth with significant traction Series C (2013): Funding Amount: $200 million Investors: Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, and others Valuation: $2.9 billion Series D (2014): Funding Amount: $519.7 million Investors: TPG, Dragoneer Investment Group, and others Valuation: $10.5 billion Series E (2015): Funding Amount: $1.7 billion (including a $1.6 billion round and an additional $100 million later in the year) Investors: China Broadband Capital, Hillhouse Capital Group, Tiger Global, and others Valuation: $25.5 billion Series F (2016): Funding Amount: $1 billion Investors: CapitalG, TCV, and others Valuation: $31 billion By the time of its IPO on December 10, 2020, Airbnb had raised a total of approximately $6.4 billion through these rounds. The company went public at a valuation exceeding $100 billion, with its IPO raising $3.5 billion by selling shares at $68 each, though shares began trading at $146 (Eqvista) (PitchReview) (Slidebean). MisterHype: I would consider having tokenomics that include that vertical, can bring a true layer of utility. These are in development and will be both finalized and launched after we acquire our first permanently located digital billboard through the use of funds of this AIP. MisterHype: I look forward to seeing this proposal come to life and would be interesting to see the community respond. Here’s a chart to illustrate our advantages over Times Square, positioning us for strategic advantage as we scale:

• AIP-451: Improving Voting Cycle Efficiency and Shortening the AIP Process by MisterHype - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: June 25, 2024, 11:27 p.m.
  Content: Lost: This proposal suggests shortening and standardizing the voting cycle for Ape Improvement Proposals (AIPs) in the ApeCoin ecosystem. The proposed changes include reducing the voting period from 13 days back to 6 days and establishing a voting schedule that starts every Thursday at 1 pm UTC ( 6 am PST/ 9 am EST/ 9 pm HKT) and ends every Wednesday at 1 pm UTC ( 6 am PST/ 9 am EST/ 9 pm HKT). The assignment of AIP ID numbers would take place after proposals have been approved to move on to the Live voting stage, aiming to increase the value of each AIP ID # for accepted authors. Additionally, this proposal suggests making the mandatory 7 -day AIP Idea phase optional for all authors, removing any period of time where proposals may be closed for community discussion, clarifying that critical community discussion and material updates to proposals are still expected to occur during all phases of the AIP process. Hi @Lost and @buuvei, This proposal is essential for our governance process, as the 2 -week voting cycle has proven to be ineffective. I also like the last updates you made, particularly about the AIP ID which set before an AIP goes live. Looking forward to seeing this pass. Best, -Mr. Hype :fire:
