Excellent, not just here at apecoinDAO, but the entire web 3 market, really needs schools, a lot of people without knowledge, especially here in Brazil where I live, many people here recurrently fall into financial pyramid scams due to lack of learning.
Hi @felipesilva! Of course, all educational activities will be provided for everyone who wants to become University students. This is precisely one of the advantages for Apecoin DAO itself. As for protection from fraudulent schemes, today we already have a wonderful school, Boring Security, whose lessons teach you how to protect yourself and your crypto-assets from scammers in the Web 3 space. Our goal will be broader and will not be limited to just protection from fraudsters.
felipesilva:
Some classes can also be translated into other languages.
The united community helps each other and goes further!
Expanding the languages in which training will be conducted takes time, because this will be live training with a teacher.
Hi @StrawberrySith!
StrawberrySith:
I could be onboard with something like this if, though the skills can be applicable anywhere, all practices, seminar projects, use cases, and so on would be strictly ApeCoin ecosystem related.
Thank you for your interest. I think after the formation of this unit, everyone will be able to express their desire to join the project team.
StrawberrySith:
I’ll also add that I’m familiar with several academies that have an interesting business model, where those accepted to the course do not pay a penny until they get their first job, after which they start paying retroactively for the course every month relative to their salary. We can modify this so that it can be per salary or per mint/project.
This is definitely a good model for getting tuition paid, but only if we can be sure that we can employ all of our graduates. In any case, everything related to tuition fees will be put forward for discussion in the future at the University itself.
StrawberrySith:
(The courses are expensive).
The prices on the website are currently shown as an example only.
Zloj:
Excellent AIP. I am glad that your idea for Prop House has found a continuation in this AIP.
Hey @Zloj! Thanks for support!
Zloj:
Maybe @Feld and Boring Security will head the Faculty of security in web 3
This role would definitely suit him. :grinning:
hackhulkcrypto:
I think this will be the most promising direction now, because cryptography has begun its intensive development. The amount of information is huge. Creating such a platform will be an advanced solution
Thanks @hackhulkcrypto! Yes, we see that a huge number of projects are being built and over time, if there is no trained personnel, good projects will begin to experience a shortage of personnel, or put incompetent people in positions, which in turn can lead to disastrous consequences. Even if we take marketing in Web 3 as an example, I have already witnessed the collapse of many projects simply because of incorrectly structured marketing, but besides marketing there are many positions that are much more important and whose mistakes can lead to more unpleasant consequences.
bushed:
or will it be about how to scam wallets? (LOL) :slight_smile:
Hey @bushed! Haha, definitely need to add a class like this. :smile:
But seriously, this will not be limited to learning how to create NFTs. This University should train specialists of various kinds, marketers, lawyers, programmers, etc., and all training for these professions will be focused on the Web 3 space.
BlueMountain:
But I could imagine two things
Hi @BlueMountain! Thank you for your support and desire to help! There will be directions for both beginners and more experienced people who decide to learn new skills for themselves.
Furious:
If we look at how successful BoringSecurity classes have been/are - with relevant, helpful & informative content, that’s provided by competent web 3 people (and often experts in the security field) - I see no reason why something similar in theme wouldn’t thrive.
Hi @furiousanger! People saw that the crypto space is not only trading in tokens and NFTs, but also a whole area in which you can get a very real job and get paid, and someone might want to create their own project and perhaps we will have a class in which they will study Web 3 project management, planning, personnel management. In general, many professions are taught in ordinary educational institutions, but with us all training will take place adjusted for the Web 3 space. For example, in the “Law in Web 3 ” class, it will be possible to train lawyers specifically for Web 3 , and when they come to any project, they will know exactly what actions can lead to what consequences. But for all this we will need competent teachers.
Furious:
Also this has ZERO cost - so makes even more sense to me.
Important note here. Zero cost is defined specifically for this AIP; this proposal is aimed at creating a University as an additional structure supervised by Apecoin DAO. But after creating and determining the set of the team, we will need to prepare an AIP in which the amount may already be requested to start the training. I would really like this to not require any costs at any stage of the launch, but as I wrote before, we will need teachers who will spend a lot of their time and they will definitely want to get paid for it. We may have to launch free training first. But over time, when the University wins the trust of people and the image of a promising educational institution, I think we will have enough students paying for their studies so that all employees can be paid from the treasury of the University itself.

- StrawberrySith: Thanks for your responses @Russell
Just a few notes of clarification on my part.
By “me being onboard” I meant I would vote for this lol but I would certainly consider joining the project team
RE tuition, yes, now that I recall the same coding academies I had in mind whose business models I was describing do indeed help with job placement, as it is in their interest (otherwise it would take longer to get paid for the courses). Perhaps your APE University/Academy can do the same, developing not only relationships with many different projects but becoming a recognizable origin for sourcing fresh talent.
RE “The courses are expensive”, what I actually meant was that coding academies/bootcamps/courses in general, especially with these types of models, cost a pretty penny. They are usually worth it, especially if the payment is deferred until placement and there is actually assistance in placement. I didn’t mean “too expensive”, sorry about the confusion.
Onwards and upwards! Let’s see that official AIP Draft!

APE University (Education in Web3)
by Russell - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 28, 2023, 8:08 p.m.
Content: PROPOSAL NAME:
Ape University
PROPOSAL CATEGORY:
Brand Decision
ABSTRACT:
This proposal is aimed at creating an additional structure in ApecoinDAO, whose task will be to train people in Web 3 professions. This should become a full-fledged educational institution where students will gain knowledge in their chosen field and receive a diploma upon completion.
It is planned to place several AIPs; the first one (that is, this one) was created for the purpose of approval of this organization. What will the adoption of this AIP mean? The proposed structure should be led by a “Council” (board of directors, council of elders, etc. in the future the divisions can be renamed), consisting of 12 people. If this AIP is adopted, ApecoinDAO will have to hold elections for the positions of members of the “Council”. After the “council” is formed, it will have the task of resolving some issues, namely:
- Election of the Chairman of the “Council”
- Selection of the director, the person who will be the executive body of the University
- Selection of members who will be entrusted with having a multi-signature wallet
- Selecting a secretary whose responsibilities will include archiving key points from all meetings
- Selecting an accountant, a person who will record all financial activities of the University
- Determination of wages for employees
ADDITIONALLY:
After the election, the director will have to begin resolving issues with developing a roadmap, determining the number of minimum required employees, as well as their activities and wages. The director will also have to hire someone to create an educational plan. After all the calculations and calculations, the director will need to contact the council with the derived data, on the basis of which the Council will determine the amount necessary to ensure the launch (this may be a phased launch) and operation of Ape University.
When everything is ready, the next AIP will be created, which will outline the roadmap, launch stages, as well as the amount of the request and the justification for this amount.
BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:
Even if we do not take into account the fact that the creation of an educational institution in which all payments will be made in APEcoins will have a positive impact on the value of the token, we can point out a number of other advantages. It is obvious that education, with the proper approach, will attract the attention of a large number of people from Web 2 , ApeCoin DAO will become more useful for them, and especially if ApeCoin DAO can employ the best students, then there will be even more people willing. The Apecoin ecosystem has also acquired projects around it, which, like other projects, will require skilled workers.
PLATFORMS & TECHNOLOGIES:
apeuniversity.xyz – a site with the help of which it will be possible in the future to obtain NFT for access to classes. Currently not adapted for mobile devices.
discord.gg/ 275 HYeCv - Discord server on which the classes will take place. Currently you can access all channels, in the future access will only be provided if you have a specific NFT.
STEPS TO IMPLEMENT & TIMELINE:
The first step is the formation of the Ape University structure itself and the recruitment of members of the “council”. Term 1 - 2 months after adoption of the AIP (if adopted)
The second step is solving the tasks assigned to selecting key roles, as well as determining the stages of launch, calculating the required amount for the launch and operation of the institution.
The third step is the creation of an AIP, which will outline the roadmap, launch stages, as well as the amount of the request and justification for this amount
The fourth step is the immediate start of the recruitment of students and the launch of training
OVERALL COST:

Excellent, not just here at apecoinDAO, but the entire web3 market, really needs schools, a lot of people without knowledge, especially here in Brazil where I live, many people here recurrently fall into financial pyramid scams due to lack of learning.
I think it is essential to have an apecoinDAO school, education is the pillar of evolution, if people don’t learn anything, nothing will be built.
For us who are already on web3 it seems to be a bit simple, but for an outsider who doesn’t understand anything at all it’s a huge barrier!

AIP-256 ApeCoin DAO Mission Statement - Translations
by Russell - No Role
Posted on: Sept. 6, 2023, 1:05 a.m.
Content: Hi bro! A couple of my observations about the translation into Russian.
badteeth:
укрепить экосистему APE
It says here that we want to “strengthen the APE ecosystem”, although if I put the text in English into Google translate, then it translates as “expand the APE ecosystem”, which in Russian is written as “расширить экосистему APE”.
badteeth:
ApeCoin стремится стать монетой культуры метавселенной
It says here that Apecoin aims to be the coin of the metaverse’s culture. It is not entirely clear what the coin of culture means.
badteeth:
которые способствуют продвижению и инновациям в технологиях и взаимодействиях
It’s about technology and interactions. In this context, it is not clear what kind of interactions we are talking about. From the text above, I understand that the word “experience” should be used, in Russian “опыт”, and in this context “опыте”.
badteeth:
соединение и укрепление создателей и сообществ, один грант за раз.
Here, instead of the word “соединение”, I would suggest using the word “объединение”.

- badteeth: Hi Russell, thank you very much for the feedback.
Can you give me some further clarifications based on the below?
Russell:
It says here that we want to “strengthen the APE ecosystem”, although if I put the text in English into Google translate, then it translates as “expand the APE ecosystem”, which in Russian is written as “расширить экосистему APE”.
In English the author used the word, “empowering,” which is closer to strengthen than expand. Is there a better way to write, “empowering the APE ecosystem,” instead?
Russell:
It says here that Apecoin aims to be the coin of the metaverse’s culture. It is not entirely clear what the coin of culture means.
This is a good literal translation, the author has explained what they mean in the Explanation dropdown.
Russell:
I understand that the word “experience” should be used, in Russian “опыт”, and in this context “опыте”.
Can you let me know what word should be replaced by “опыте”?
Russell:
Here, instead of the word “соединение”, I would suggest using the word “объединение”.
Updated, thank you!

APE University (educational institution in Web3)

smirksterboy:
Many in Web 3 are enthusiasts, without pedagogical experience
Yes, this project is aimed at increasing the number of specialists in the Web 3 space, who can be provided with work based on their knowledge gained at the University.
Zloj:
A well-developed educational program will be required.
Thanks, @Zloj ! Yes, this is undoubtedly an important part; specialists from different fields should be involved in the development of a learning system.
Zloj:
Possible employment assistance from the university and the DAO
This would undoubtedly be beneficial both for a potential student of the University, for the University itself, and for the DAO too.

Do you have a team on the selection?
Thanks @musclekong for your support. In fact, at the moment everything is at the stage of translating the idea into reality and the team has yet to be formed.
Cevidu:
If APE becomes the first to open a school like this, it will be seen as a reference.
Yes, you are right @Cevidu , if everything is done correctly, we can become MIT or Stanford/Harvard University in the world of Web 3
LaneWill:
What areas of web 3 are you planning to teach at APE University?
Thanks @LaneWill for the question. I think we can cover all the specialties needed for the Web 3 world, we can create a training program that starts with general knowledge and gradually add narrowly focused specialties. Just as they teach in educational institutions Web 2 . In any case, the study program requires competent compilation by those who are well versed in this and have experience.
iGuntes:
I think it’s worth making separate branches in the official ApeCoin Discord, and then look at the development of this topic. Determine the directions of the courses, the order of the classes and their format.
It would be great if the official Apecoin Discord server dedicated a section for this.
lilchichi.eth:
what is the end game of the SBT tokens?
The same as the diplomas that we receive after graduation - proof of graduation in one direction or another.

APE University (educational institution in Web3)
by Russell - No Role
Posted on: Aug. 30, 2023, 6:58 a.m.
Content: Hi guys! Before writing my first AIP, I would like to discuss with you the topic of opening a Web 3 University. I’m interested in your thoughts. In the prop house, I outlined briefly how it should work. The AIP will be formed more and more clearly. If the guys from Boring Security join this with their experience, it will be great.
Briefly, the proposal refers to the opening of a university with the training of Web 3 specialists in various fields divided into groups, with mandatory attendance and exams, followed by the issuance of diplomas in the SBT token format.
It is planned to start with a discord server and subsequently move to its own site with personal accounts of students and teachers, etc.

Apecoin x Ledger
by Russell - No Role
Posted on: Aug. 18, 2023, 5:06 a.m.
Content: Hey @Val ! :wave:
Sorry to hear that. I received mine without any problems. I think you should ask for advice on the Boring Security server, because they are collaborating with Ledger. Perhaps they will be able to solve the problem, maybe they will send you a new one and take measures so that they cannot charge tax on the parcel. In any case, I hope your problem gets resolved.

ApeCoin Arenas Gaming & MetaVerse

Content: Hi bro! :handshake:
The idea is to create a copy of Wreck League?
Many games that are created today in Web 3 are copies of Web 2 hit games of yesteryear. What if you make a copy of Flat Out, if someone played it, there is an arena where it was necessary to destroy others on different machines.
But overall, I like this idea. :+ 1 :
