• @MorrisMustang - Metaverse WG Nomination 01/2024 by amplify.Admin - Inactive
  Posted on: Nov. 23, 2023, 12:38 p.m.
  Content: Personal Information Discourse ID: @MorrisMustang Twitter: x.com Country of Residence: United States of America Educational Background: Electrical and Computer Engineering - Cornell 2009 Professional Background: Over the past three years, I have led Atlas Corp, an agency specializing in metaverse and smart contract development. My tenure has involved collaborations with notable brands including Jagermeister, Bulova, KB Home, and the USGA, focusing on creating immersive 3 D events and activations. Additionally, I spearheaded the creation of a freemium analytics platform now widely used by Decentraland developers for measuring key performance indicators across their scenes. Prior to running the agency, I founded and operated a Bitcoin and Crypto co-location mining company called The Miners’ Union from 2016 - 2019 with locations in South Florida and Idaho. Nomination Statement Concise statement on why you are running for the Metaverse Working Group I am running for the Steward of the Metaverse Working Group to leverage my extensive experience in metaverse development and analytics. My background in leading Atlas Corp and actively participating in the Decentraland DAO has equipped me with a deep understanding of the metaverse landscape. I am committed to applying my technical expertise and strategic vision to drive growth towards the ApeCoin brand through the Metaverse Working Group. Motivation Details on your motivation for becoming a Metaverse Working Group Steward My motivation to become a Steward of the Metaverse Group is rooted in a profound belief that the metaverse and virtual reality applications are the eventuality of human connections across the internet. This role offers me a unique chance to both deepen my understanding of the metaverse and actively participate in sculpting its future. Rationale Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community My experience extends beyond my role at Atlas Corp, having been deeply involved with the Decentraland DAO. This involvement includes a significant period as the largest delegate, guiding community sentiment around proposals. My commitment to decentralization and belief in the efficacy of DAOs, especially with active participation from voting power holders, has been a constant in my web 3 journey. My interactions with DCL DAO are that of a voter and grant beneficiary, receiving multiple development grants over several years. These grants have been instrumental in developing and hosting vital metaverse infrastructure, including operating Decentraland’s only fully accessible archival node. I am also an active contributor to the open source code and documentation repositories. My expertise is not limited to Decentraland. I have also developed for platforms like Roblox, Fortnite, Unity, Hyperfy, and Cryptovoxels. Currently, I am collaborating with the Roblox sports partnership team on innovative applications for the platform. Throughout the last few years, I gained tremendous experience in understanding how to interpret user interactions with metaverse applications. This is particularly important here so that the ApeCoin DAO doesn’t fall into the trap of developing or sponsoring 3 d applications without a feedback loop. In the end of the day, we have goal of growing brand exposure, and we need to be able to report back on that to the DAO. While my participation in the ApeCoin DAO has been limited, I attribute this to my focus on metaverse applications rather than a lack of interest in broader DAO activities. Joining the Metaverse Working Group, I aim to leverage my expertise in this niche, aligning with ApeCoin DAO’s goals and exploring integrations of ApeCoin across various platforms, extending beyond Otherside. Specifications Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation, and/or ideas for DAO improvement N/A Concluding Statement Summarize your statement as to why you are the best choice for the Metaverse Working Group I believe you should support my candidacy for this role as my experience in running a metaverse development agency where where my skills in hands on scene development, costing and project management, and key performance reporting can be put to use to benefit the ApeCoin DAO.

• @David_Crypto - Metaverse WG Nomination 01/2024 by amplify.Admin - Inactive
  Posted on: Nov. 23, 2023, 12:35 p.m.
  Content: Personal Information Discourse ID: @David_Crypto Twitter: x.com Educational Background: University of Leeds, International Marketing Management (Master) Professional Background: Initial founder of Chinese Ape Club ( 2022 - Present) Partner of Creek Labs ( 2023 - Present) Co-founder of DC incubator ( 2016 - 2022 ) Nomination Statement Concise statement on why you are running for the Metaverse Working Group Hey, Ape fam! I’m David_Crypto, the initial founder of the Chinese Ape Club (x.com) and a partner at Creek Labs, a Web 3 VC based in Asia. Our Apecoin DAO is currently facing significant challenges, ranging from governance dilemmas to a lack of practical applications for Apecoin. We urgently need a fresh approach to revitalize Apecoin. Our vision is for Apecoin to evolve beyond being just a DAO Coin and transform into a utility coin. A key strategic initiative is to drive the adoption of $APE in metaverses. Drawing on my extensive experience in community building, project networking, and project incubation, I am confident in contributing to Apecoin’s realization of its metaverse strategy. Building a Metaverse Community for Apecoin DAO Community is paramount. To propel Apecoin DAO’s development towards the metaverse, establishing an open, free, and transparent community is crucial. As a dedicated member of the Bored Ape Yacht Club and the founder of the Chinese Ape Club, I’ve nurtured the club’s user base from 0 to 500 + in the past two years. I’ve orchestrated eight events in various locations, including Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, mainland China, and Hong Kong. I had the honor of being a collaborating community for this year’s Apefest, where we hosted a successful happy hour event. Additionally, I am an early builder and user on metaverse platforms like Decentraland and Sandbox. Leveraging my experience in community building and development, I can assist Apecoin DAO in swiftly establishing its Metaverse community. Beyond Otherside Promoting Apecoin’s application in Otherside and the broader metaverse ecosystem is pivotal. It’s clear that, in the foreseeable future, our efforts should focus on making Apecoin widely utilized in Otherside to unlock its full potential. Simultaneously, Apecoin should foster an open ecosystem, enabling more metaverse platforms and projects to embrace and adopt it. I am confident that my global VC resource network and project resource network will contribute significantly to the widespread adoption of Apecoin, fostering openness and development in the Apecoin DAO ecosystem. Being a Good Steward Creating a nurturing environment for builders, creators, and developers within Apecoin DAO is fundamental for promoting Apecoin’s application and development in the metaverse. With a background as a former partner at a Web 2 startup incubator and currently running a Web 3 incubator, I have incubated and supported over 100 + startup projects in the past seven years. This experience has given me profound insights into how to support and serve developers and builders within an ecosystem. I will elaborate in the following profile section why I am the best candidate for the Metaverse Working Group Steward. Motivation Details on your motivation for becoming a Metaverse Working Group Steward Passion serves as the most powerful motivation, unequivocally. My profound passion for the Bored Ape Yacht Club and Apecoin culture has been the driving force behind my actions. Over the past nearly two years, I’ve taken the initiative to organize more than 8 offline events, fostering unity among Ape holders and advocating Ape culture. Every effort I’ve made is rooted in love and voluntary commitment. To date, I’ve personally funded these activities. During this year’s Apefest, I orchestrated two events, the Cosplay Party and Happy Hour in Aqua, bringing together over 500 Apes, and both events received official support from the Bored Ape Yacht Club. As a builder and leader in the Bored Ape Yacht Club community, I’ve observed the challenges that Apecoin DAO is confronting. Despite some past grievances, I’ve made the conscious decision to join and address these issues. I firmly believe that successfully developing Apecoin in the metaverse will enable it to overcome its current challenges. My goal is to actively engage more BAYC/MAYC/BAKC holders in the metaverse development of Apecoin DAO. Being an Apecoin holder and a community member, I aspire for Apecoin to emerge as the leading coin in the metaverse. Leveraging my expertise in community building, I am confident in swiftly establishing an open, free, and transparent metaverse community for Apecoin DAO. I intend to integrate my experience in DAO participation and management, along with my background in investment incubation, into Apecoin DAO. I aim to assist Apecoin in establishing early metaverse user and developer communities, contribute to constructing a robust metaverse infrastructure, and support additional AIPs that contribute to the practical implementation of the metaverse. As a devoted believer and early supporter of the metaverse, I envision Apecoin creating an open metaverse ecosystem in the near future, facilitating the entry of more Web 2 users into Apecoin DAO. Rationale Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community In 2022 , I founded the Chinese Ape Club (x.com), currently one of the largest Ape clubs within the Chinese-speaking community. Over the past two years, I have nurtured the community from its inception to over 500 members, organizing more than 10 offline events across various Asian regions (including Hong Kong, mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia, etc.). With established partnerships in most Asian regions, I possess expertise in effectively building communities and fostering culture. I am confident that I can leverage this experience to contribute to the construction of a Metaverse community within Apecoin DAO. Currently, I serve as a partner at a Web 3 VC and manage a Web 3 incubator. My resources and expertise in investment incubation position me to assist Apecoin in identifying talented builders and developers during the early stages of metaverse development. This will play a pivotal role in facilitating Apecoin’s mass adoption, and I am committed to providing professional insights to support the implementation of various metaverse AIPs. Previously, I held a partnership role in a startup incubator within the Web 2 space, where I successfully incubated over 100 + projects. This experience has equipped me with a profound understanding of how to support and assist developers, builders, and founders, creating an environment conducive to their success through excellent infrastructure and services. With a background in finance and marketing, I bring a diverse skill set aimed at maximizing the impact of every Apecoin. Holding financial licenses in various regions and countries, having undergone professional CFA training, and working in traditional VC and financial advisory institutions, my financial and business acumen will aid Apecoin DAO in effectively managing budgets in the metaverse and achieving positive outcomes. I pursued an International Marketing Master’s degree at the University of Leeds, participating in marketing case planning for multinational companies. Additionally, I served as a marketing consultant for several Web 3 projects, assisting them in implementing international marketing strategies. I am confident that my professional knowledge in marketing will play a pivotal role in assisting Apecoin in building its brand and establishing a global presence in the metaverse. Specifications Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation, and/or ideas for DAO improvement CAC DAO: I bring extensive experience to the DAO landscape, participating not only in the Apecoin DAO but also as the founder of CAC DAO. CAC DAO, a non-profit organization, serves as the central entity responsible for the operation and development of the Chinese Ape Club. Over the past two years, CAC DAO has organized more than 10 APE events and collaborated with numerous well-known Web 2 brands for APE partnerships, such as the Swiss watch brand Mrisstime and the Web 3 fashion brand Xcart. The vision of CAC DAO is to spread Ape culture and involve more individuals in the APE ecosystem. Additionally, I contribute to Builder DAO and several other DAOs, understanding how to engage and operate within a DAO organization. I am confident in my ability to collaborate effectively with the current stewards of Apecoin DAO. An Early Builder, User, and Investor in the Metaverse: I am an avid enthusiast of the metaverse, evident from my Twitter and Telegram handle (@david_metaworld). As an early user, builder, and investor in Decentraland and Sandbox, I am also a steadfast fan of Otherside. I firmly believe that the metaverse is the central development direction for the next decade. Having engaged with the metaverse five years ago, my passion for it, coupled with my willingness to contribute to its construction, is the primary reason for my candidacy as the Metaverse Working Group Steward. Some Plans about Apecoin DAO Metaverse development Building a Global Apecoin DAO Metaverse Community: Creating a globally integrated Metaverse community for Apecoin DAO is vital for long-term growth, given the foundational strength of communities. Leveraging my proven success in community building, I will aid Apecoin DAO in establishing a worldwide Metaverse community, encouraging broader participation in the ecosystem. Creating a Hub for Creators, Builders, and Developers: At the heart of metaverse development lie the developers. I will contribute to the establishment of a developer hub within Apecoin DAO, providing them with essential infrastructure services. Promoting $APE Adoption in Otherside and Beyond: The widespread adoption of Apecoin represents an opportunity to overcome current challenges. Using my investment and project network, I aim to attract more projects and metaverse platforms to adopt $APE. Assisting in Formulating DAO Strategies for Metaverse Development: This encompasses various strategies, including community development, grant programs, financial budgets, and more. Facilitating Otherside Content Development and Driving ODK Infrastructure Implementation: Given the integral role of ODK in Otherside, establishing robust ODK infrastructure is crucial for the widespread adoption of Apecoin. I will contribute to Otherside’s content development and promote the large-scale adoption of ODK. Building Collaborations Between Otherside, Apecoin DAO, and External Entities: Facilitating partnerships with external projects, opening up the future metaverse development ecosystem for Apecoin DAO, and enabling more external projects to enter Otherside. Promoting Metaverse Game Development Within the Apecoin DAO Community: Encouraging active participation of Apecoin DAO community members in the development and construction of metaverse games. Establishing a positive mechanism to reward members contributing to metaverse development Addressing the Information Gap Between NFT Communities and Apecoin DAO: Recognizing the information gap between Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC/MAYC/BAKC) members and Apecoin DAO is crucial. Promoting active participation in Apecoin DAO, especially in Metaverse development, and creating effective engagement mechanisms will foster mutual growth between NFT and Apecoin communities. Concluding Statement Summarize your statement as to why you are the best choice for the Metaverse Working Group I have a profound love for Ape culture and am willing to dedicate all my efforts to it. I aspire to witness a new chapter for Apecoin DAO and the resurgence of $Ape to its zenith. Recognizing the pivotal role of Metaverse development for Apecoin, I am compelled to join and actively contribute to its evolution. I am confident that I am the optimal choice for the role of Metaverse Working Group Steward. My diverse experience in community building, DAO management, investment incubation, and expertise in financial marketing positions me to holistically propel Apecoin DAO in its Metaverse endeavors. Furthermore, driven by my passion and unwavering belief in the metaverse, I am ready to invest my enthusiasm and love to actively participate and witness the growth of Apecoin DAO in the metaverse. I firmly believe that Apecoin will emerge as a leading token in the metaverse in the coming years. If granted the opportunity to serve as the Metaverse Working Group Steward, I commit to dedicating as much time as possible to craft the Apecoin DAO Metaverse Roadmap. Additionally, I will continue to excel in promoting Ape culture and attentively listen to the ideas and suggestions of Apecoin community builders and members, collectively steering Apecoin DAO into a new phase. For any inquiries or interests regarding my nomination profile, please feel free to reach out to me through Twitter (@David_metaworld) or Telegram (@David_metaworld). Thanks to every dedicated Ape fam member who has thoroughly read my profile. I hope to earn your support!

• @Halina.eth - Special Council Nomination 01/2024 by amplify.Admin - Inactive
  Posted on: Nov. 23, 2023, 12:12 p.m.
  Content: Personal Information Discourse ID: @Halina.eth Twitter: x.com Educational Background: I studied at the University of California, Berkeley as part of the class of 2022 , pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, a # 2 ranked Undergraduate Business Program within the United States, as well as studying internationally at Yonsei University in South Korea for International Business Relations. After buying my first NFT in February 2021 , I was consumed by the crypto & NFT world & left Berkeley to focus full-time on my conviction in driving change within web 3 . Prior to my experience at Berkeley, I acted as the Chair of Finance within De Anza College’s student senate, leading an 11 -member committee as well as the greater senate in a formal public deliberations & voting process to fully allocate the Senate’s $ 1 . 1 million dollar annual budget. The various program directors had submitted proposals for the funding amount they believed best, and through this intensive 4 -month budget deliberations and allocations process, it was my job to lead the Finance Committee to critically review each budget proposal and compile a holistic annual budget recommendation for the greater Senate to vote on & approve. This process is a remarkable “real-world” analogy to the AIP process within ApeCoin DAO, and my role as Chair of Finance too has striking resemblances to the role of the Special Council within ApeCoin. Awards & Leadership Roles: Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, issued by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Dolores F. Cerro Scholarship, issued by Berkeley Haas School of Business Chair of Finance, De Anza Student Senate Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Officer of Operations, DECA Collegiate Chapter Vice President for Circle K International Club Association Senate Leader, CCCSAA Student Leadership Conference 2019 De Anza Academic Achievement Scholarship Dean’s List & De Anza Honors Program certification Inter Club Council Representative for CKI Club Head Teacher’s Assistant for Political Science Department Chair AP Scholar with Distinction Award Maximum score in 7 Advanced Placement course exams, administered by the College Board 1510 SAT exam score, administered by the College Board ( 99 th percentile score) Professional Background: Within the University of California, Berkeley, I was accepted into the SkyDeck Accelerator Fund Program as a startup founder in Batch 12 . Through this experience I met with prominent Silicon Valley program mentors, and was invited to pitch to prominent investors including Sand Hill Angels. After leaving Berkeley to focus on web 3 in early 2021 , I’ve become a founding member of ApeComms, an official representative of ApeCoin DAO in our inaugural sponsorship of the Ethereum Global San Francisco 2022 hackathon, the frontrunner out of four elected Stewards in the first ever cohort of Stewards within ApeCoin DAO (Working Group Zero, established through AIP- 196 ), and acted as a driving force within the Thank Ape (AIP- 124 ) board, eventually joining ThriveCoin (company powering Thank Ape) and connecting with DAO and Foundation members from GitCoin, Optimism, Arbitrum, Nouns PropHouse, and other constituents across the greater web 3 ecosystem. I’m also proud to be a long-time member of the Bored Ape and ApeCoin DAO communities, as a founder of the Bored California regional group representing the Bay Area Apes, co-founder of Chinese Ape Club, and proud member of the Ladies of BAYC, Pink DAO, Mutant Cartel, and PAYC (Purple Apes). I’ve attended meetups around the globe with ApeCoin community members, including in San Francisco, LA, Vegas, Miami, NYC, Seoul, Tokyo, and even as recently as with ApeFest in Hong Kong, while meeting members of related web 3 communities such as BAYC/MAYC, Mocaverse, Nouns DAO, Doodles, Azuki, Moonbirds, and more. Meeting all the talented and passionate builders in our ApeCoin and broader web 3 ecosystem has inspired and emboldened me through my journey in leading ApeCoin to become the DAO that inspires all as a success story in web 3 . Certificates & Roles: Batch 12 Alumnus of Berkeley SkyDeck Accelerator Fund Program Y Combinator Startup School Certificate, issued by Y Combinator One of 4 elected ApeCoin DAO Stewards in the first ever Steward cohort, WG 0 (AIP- 196 ) Board member, Thank Ape (AIP- 124 in ApeCoin DAO) Early non-technical hire at ThriveCoin, the web 3 startup powering Thank Ape (AIP- 124 of ApeCoin DAO), as well as community empowerment and governance systems across Optimism, Arbitrum, and more ApeCoin DAO Sponsor Representative, Ethereum Global San Francisco 2022 conference & hackathon One of historically ~ 30 members of the ApeCoin governance Forums with the “Regular” badge Founding member, ApeComms (AIP- 348 in ApeCoin DAO) Founder, Bored California (regional group representing Bay Area Apes) Co-Founder, Chinese Ape Club (group of 500 + Chinese-speaking Apes around the world) Club Representative, Bored Club Association Ladies of BAYC member Pink DAO member Mutant Cartel member, OG Cartelian PAYC (Purple Ape Yacht Club) member Nomination Statement Concise statement on why you are running for the Special Council I believe that ApeCoin DAO can not just survive the current market, but thrive and emerge from this crypto winter as a trailblazer and leader for all of web 3 within the DAO space. To do that, we must address internal challenges, such as balancing the unprecedented leadership structure within DAOs which must act with clear vision and oversight while placing an emphasis on our core web 3 value of decentralization. At the same time, we must earn a reputation as a leader within the broader ecosystem, which includes extending a visible presence at industry conferences & events, collaborations with fellow prominent web 3 leaders and communities, and initiating direct outreach & ongoing relationships with the industry builders who will bring the innovations that drive the next great crypto market boom. I am best positioned to drive these goals for ApeCoin DAO. Since I left Berkeley, the # 1 public university within the United States, to pursue my conviction in web 3 , I’ve built a reputation for cultivating relationships and enabling them to flourish. I am uniquely suited to building the relationships that will raise ApeCoin DAO to new heights- both within our own ecosystem, as well as in the broader ecosystem as a leader amongst every DAO in the world. Additionally, throughout my consistent contributions as a core DAO contributor since September 2022 , often as the only female and internationally-representative voice in the room, I never shied away from my profound convictions that the diversity within the DAO will enrich us all. Whether that takes the form of diversity of opinions, of cultural backgrounds, or of gender, as a member of the ApeCoin Special Council, I am confident I will represent the ApeCoin community in a way that one would be proud of, and open the door for more diversity within the DAO’s future elected roles, further enriching us all and allowing ApeCoin to lead at the forefront of our industry. Motivation Details on your motivation for becoming an ApeCoin DAO Special Council member I’ve always envisioned the power of ApeCoin DAO to fundamentally change the world and the possibilities within web 3 . We are uniquely positioned in a way no other entity can match- born of the efforts of Yuga, a multibillion-dollar valued company that has blazed the trail of culture into the crypto and NFT world like no other, and set to inherit the multi-trillion metaverse empire of the future, ApeCoin DAO truly sits at the intersection of culture and technology. We are at the beginning of an inflection point in history. As a giant amongst giants, it is our responsibility to seize the opportunity we’ve been gifted, and act powerfully and with conviction for the betterment of the entire space. There are several “low-hanging” inflection points for change we can currently reach within the DAO- these include a stronger presence at industry events, deeper relationships with other leaders and builders driving change in the space, and concerted efforts at inclusion for builders and community members around the globe to contribute to ApeCoin DAO. Several excellent initiatives have already made impacts on these fronts: AIP- 96 by former Special Council member Maaria has allowed ApeCoin representatives (including myself) to represent the DAO to the wider community during the Ethereum Global San Francisco conference/hackathon of 2022 , and the follow-up AIP- 230 does the same for further ETHGlobal conferences around the world (including in cities such as Tokyo, Lisbon, Paris, New York, and more) until the end of 2023 . Through Thank Ape (AIP- 124 ), ApeCoin DAO has been able to cross-collaborate with other prominent communities such as Nouns DAO and further engage with builders from our IRL presence events such as ETHGlobal. I’ve been honored to take the lead within the Thank Ape Board in conceptualizing, orchestrating, and executing the 8 + Nouns PropHouse funding rounds & Thank Ape Seasons 1 - 3 grants competitions that have collectively funded 250 + projects with 100 , 000 + $APE back to builders and leaders within the community. AIP- 297 by former Special Council member Yat Siu sets the stage to bring in stakeholders from our wider community through the inclusion of Mocaverse, Cool Cats, World of Women, Pudgy Penguins, and Koda NFTs in the form of an ApeCoin sister DAO. AIP- 304 by community member Machi does the same with Punks and other notable NFT collections. AIP- 317 is a shining example brought forth by the current Governance Stewards of an inclusive AIP, going to vote on Snapshot with links to the proposal’s full details in multiple international languages. Finally, current Special Council member Vera the Ape has notably hosted events around the world and built connections for ApeCoin community members all around the world to enjoy. As someone who’s consistently advocated for inclusive timezones, attention to detail regarding language barriers, and broadly diversity & inclusion, it’s been an honor to witness these transformations in the DAO firsthand. These initiatives have made such an impact- however, we can always do more! Given my specialized skills and experience with this DAO, I am confident I can continue in the work I have done through the past 14 + months in ApeCoin DAO and lead the DAO to even greater prominence and influence through a role in Special Council. Rationale Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community I’ve always been a high achiever and statistical outlier, whether that has taken the form of academic achievements, leadership roles, or ability to perform in high-stress, high-stakes settings. However, above all this I consider my true power in my ability to build, maintain, and enable relationships to flourish. Stemming from the beginning of my time at ApeCoin DAO, I’ve built lifelong bonds of friendship with the members of ApeComms for over a year. These peers are brilliant individuals, all of whom have since created tremendous impact within the DAO, serving in positions ranging from Discourse Facilitator, to Governance Working Group Steward, to Special Council itself. Many of us spent time together serving as Working Group Zero (WG 0 ) Stewards, and spent countless hours envisioning and architecting the seeds that would become the current Working Group structure of our DAO. As a member of the Thank Ape Board, I’ve encouraged and empowered our ApeCoin community to expand and reach our true potential. The work of reaching out, encouraging, and answering questions from community members of all kinds of backgrounds, as well as welcoming non-ApeCoin community members to join the DAO may seem tedious at a glance. However, I’ve never felt more fulfilled than when I was sharing opportunities to talented builders and leaders, and watching them challenge themselves and flourish in the process of ideating, applying for, and campaigning for grants that mean the difference between the life or stillbirth of a cherished idea. To see all the brilliance and ecosystem-changing projects that have come to life as a result of my work and the work of my fellow Board and team, evokes a joy and passion that truly cannot be described. Finally, in my personal capacity as a web 3 citizen and community member, I’ve participated in wide-ranging communities including regional California and Chinese-speaking communities, Ladies of BAYC, Mutant Cartel, Pink DAO, Mocaverse, Azuki, Doodles, and more. I’ve heard these community members express their delight and joy in the good times, and their fear and desolation through the bad times. Yet through all of this, community sticks together. We find passion, we find meaning, and we find new ways to build and support each other that make the world a better place. I truly believe that my love of cultivating relationships, my track record of building flourishing communities, and my confidence in letting my unique strengths shine while part of a team, all speak for themselves. It would be an honor to continue my journey of serving our community as a member of the ApeCoin Special Council. Specifications Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation, and/or ideas for DAO improvement In addition to these experiences, I have been fortunate to make connections and learn from industry leaders across the space through my personal connections and time as part of the ThriveCoin team. During my time at ThriveCoin, in addition to serving and leading in my role at the Thank Ape Board, I served on community councils and worked with leaders at top DAOs such as Optimism, ShapeShift, Aavegotchi, and Arbitrum. These brilliant leaders and collaborators have not only taught me about the dynamics of the greater web 3 ecosystem, but also about the internal workings of other top DAOs and how they handle universal topics such as governance, fostering community & participation, and balancing decentralization with efficiency. As ApeCoin DAO moves into a new stage of our existence, debating key topics such as automation, governance, and the future of ApeChain, it’s crucial for us to keep in mind that we are not alone and learn from the successes and failures of other great minds in our space. I am excited to collaborate and lead our DAO in this endeavor, and together we in turn can inspire- and become a leader for other DAOs to emulate. Concluding Statement Summarize your statement as to why you are the best choice for Special Council ApeCoin DAO is strong. We’re powerful. And we’re going to prove it to the world. This is the vision I’ve held since starting as a DAO contributor over a year ago, and it is still the vision I hold firmly today. All my experiences, from managing a $ 1 . 1 million dollar “web 2 ” budget and grants process, to my time as one of ApeCoin DAO’s 7 inaugural WG 0 Steward cohort, to my time enabling 250 + builders to make a difference through ApeCoin with the Thank Ape Board. I welcome everyone to reach out to me with your vision for ApeCoin DAO. My Twitter(X) messages have always been open for everyone, no matter your background, to reach out to. Join me, and campaign together for an ApeCoin DAO that leads the world!

Cointelegraph Decentral Bank Upgrades Citi to Bank 2 . 0 That Handles Crypto But what if there were such a thing as decentralized banking? Motivation Details on your motivation for becoming an ApeCoin DAO Special Council member We stand at a crucial juncture in the evolution of blockchain technology, where the technology is almost mature for mainstreams adoption, and where we can look back and learn from our past experiences and plan for the future. As well-recognized stewards of Web 3 , our decisions hold the potential to significantly shape the future of what a DAO is, what a DAO can accomplish, and the broader Web 3 ecosystem. My desire to join the council is driven by three core competencies: In-depth Knowledge of Blockchain Technology: My experience in the blockchain space, particularly for the past decade, has afforded me a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies and potential of blockchain technology and the Web 3 ecosystem as a whole. This knowledge is critical in navigating the complex decision we find ourselves making today, in particular around ApeChain. Applied Academic Research: My academic pursuits have not only been theoretical but also deeply rooted in practical applications. I have conducted extensive research on DAOs, decentralized and distributed governance, and their socio-economic impacts. This academic background ensures that my contributions to the council are grounded in robust research and forward-thinking insights. Proven Execution Capability: Beyond theoretical knowledge, I have a track record of successfully executing projects and initiatives related to DAOs and decentralized governance. My hands-on experience with technical abilities can be instrumental in helping ApeCoin DAO achieve it’s mission. As a member of the Special Council, I am committed to leveraging these skills to foster a future where ApeCoin DAO not only thrives as a community but also as an ecosystem that impacts all things gaming, metaverse and culture. My focus will be on ensuring that our decisions are not only technologically sound but also socially responsible, aligning with the long-term vision and values of the ApeCoin DAO community. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the council and am eager to work collaboratively with other members and the community to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Rationale Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community ApeCoin DAO is one of the few DAOs, if not THE only DAO, that represents that spirit of Web 3 and the ideals of distributed communities and collective action. While many other DAOs claim to be distributed and autonomous, the reality is that they are only driven by a selected number (or small number) of individuals hence violating the premise and ethos of being a DAO. On the other hand, other DAOs are formed without a clear purpose or structure that can drive collective action. ApeCoin DAO is different. As previously stated, the decisions that we make as a collective have the potential to impact the broader Web 3 ecosystem, and I want be a tool that enables us as a collective to make navigate the future.
