Content: gm!
short answer is yes!
users will be able to login into the platform via signing with their wallet, they’ll have the option to customize their profiles (name, date of birth, email, pfp, etc.). every registered user will have the ability to create challenges via the dashboard. if a brand logins into game in the skin, they can create challenges.
however we will reach to brands to onboard them and create challenges in partnership via direct sales.
thanks for asking, if you have any more questions ill happily answer them.

MaximusMX:
Really interesting idea, thank you for putting the AIP together.
thanks for taking your time to read the aip
MaximusMX:
The wireframes are great to get an idea of what you’re thinking for the app and the budget breakdown is really solid - well done!
i’ve been using them for a long time and yes, they are a great tool for ui/ux design, the one i showed it jus the main page for the site, but ive been working for a couple months on the site and mobile app.
MaximusMX:
How are you thinking about rewards & incentives to bring a broader audience to the app, and therefore the ApeCoin / ApeChain ecosystem? Seems like this could be an opportunity to onboard non-Web 3 native folks.
we will have profiles on the main social networks (x, warpcast and tiktok) and on strava, we will use those profiles to communicate everything thats going on with the app. on strava we will join different fitness clubs where we will invite users to join our platform.
during the launch phase we are asking for 45 k usd which will be used for marketing (social media campaigns and ads) and 30 k usd for user acquisition wich will be fully used for challenges organized by skin in the game. for the moment we have in mind the following challenges to start with:
weekly competitions: 70 k steps, 10 km running, 10 km swimming, 100 km cycling
monthly competitions: 300 k steps, 100 km running, 40 km swimming
quarterly: 300 km running, 1000 km cycling, 300 k steps
next week ill start talks with a couple running clubs and 2 fitness gyms in mexico to explain them what skin in the game is and invite them to join forces and let us onboard their athletes. the objective will be to onboard as many fitness clubs as possible.
once we launch the app we will apply for a second round of funds via the banana bill which will be used to secure 1 year of operations and challenges/incentives for user acquisition.
if you have any further questions let me know and ill happily answer them.

Content: hi likkee
skin in the game will read data from strava (initially) and then we might read from different fitness apps lke myfitness pal. on our first stage we will do attestations of the activities and records on the blockchain so yes, it could continue working even without a monetary reward.

“Skin in the Game” capitalizes on the trend of people living a healthy lifestyle, every day we spend more time exercising, whether in a gym, running, walking, doing yoga, etc. and the increasing use of fitness wearables, such as smartwatches, which track metrics like calories burned, distance covered, steps, sleep time, daily activities, groups, etc.

People often fail in their training goals due to lack of motivation, real stakes and accountability. “Skin in the Game” will provide a blockchain infrastructure for stake-based accountability enabling any individual to create and manage challenges where participants will have real financial stakes in their success.
Our key features:
Stake Based challenges: Participants lock Apecoin as stake.
Incentives: Rewards for successful participants.
Verification: Onchain resolution and reward distribution
“Skin in the Game” functionality is split into two phases:
Attestation of fitness activities: In the first phase, users will connect their fitness app (Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Android, etc) to “Skin in the Game”, where their athletic data (e.g., running, swimming, cycling metrics, steps, etc.) will be attested and recorded on the blockchain. This will create a transparent, immutable record of their activities, ensuring trust and verifiability.
Challenges and Competitions: In the second phase, the app will introduce challenges and competitions.
2 . 1 Challenges: Users will be able to create their own personalized challenges and invite their club or friends to take a chance, for instance, to run the most kilometers in a week. Participants will pay an entry fee (in ApeCoin), which will be used to cover operational costs and fund the prize pool. At the end of the challenge, prizes will be distributed to the top performers.
2 . 2 Competitions: Sponsored challenges organized by Skin in the Game.
For each challenge or competition a smart contract will be created, the smart contract will act as an escrow to hold the funds, once the competition is over and validated the prizes will be disbursed to the winners.
BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:
We are at a pivotal moment in the evolution of the ApeCoin ecosystem, and with this AIP, we aim to significantly enhance its value and utility, specifically in social and brand image. Our AIP, “Skin in the Game”, is not just an ambitious project; it’s a strategic endeavor designed to bring multifaceted benefits to our community. Here’s how “Skin in the Game” will positively impact the ApeCoin ecosystem:
Increased Visibility of ApeChain: By developing the app on ApeChain, using it for smart contracts, attestations and transactions, Skin in the Game will contribute to the adoption and visibility of ApeChain, showcasing its potential as a blockchain platform.
Increased transaction volume on ApeChain: All fitness activities will be attested onto ApeChain, smart contracts will be used as escrows for all challenges with a significantly increased transactions on ApeChain.
Social Impact: By promoting a healthy lifestyle through fitness and competition, the app encourages physical activity while integrating blockchain technology.
Attracting New Users: The project will attract both fitness enthusiasts and tech-savvy users, increasing ApeCoin’s visibility to new audiences.
Gamification: The app transforms fitness routines into fun and competitive experiences, which enhances engagement within the ecosystem.
Analytics and Data: The platform will collect valuable data on user activities, profiles, and geographic areas, offering insights into user behavior and preferences.
Utilization of ApeCoin: As participants will use ApeCoin to pay entry fees for challenges, the app will drive ApeCoin’s usage within a real-world application.
“Skin in the Game” is an opportunity for partnerships with fitness clubs, gyms, brands, and MBA’s which will expand the ApeCoin DAO and the ApeChain brand exposure.

AIP-539: Podcastization of ApeCoin Ecosystem’s X Spaces (Resubmission)
by chaps - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 3, 2024, 11:39 a.m.
Content: this aip is a no brainer and big win for the ecosystem.
there is a ton of content about the dao happening on spaces every week, which usually gets lost, i see this aip as a dedicated podcast channel for dao which could truly transform the way the community connects with its content. my key values are:
accessibility and ease: imagine the simplicity of having all those amazing conversations just one click away, available on platforms like spotify and apple podcasts. no more struggling to find spaces—you can subscribe, save favorites, and receive notifications the moment a new episode drops. the chaotic search for content ends here.
enhanced listening experience: by editing out dead air, background noise, and awkward pauses, the podcast will offer a smoother, more engaging experience. every moment you listen will feel intentional, grabbing your attention and keeping you invested in the topics that matter to the community.
reach beyond the core: a podcast isn’t just for the die-hard dao members—it’s for the world. distributing these conversations on global platforms opens the door for new voices, new ears, and new opportunities. people curious about crypto or daos will discover apecoin and might just become part of this movement.
organized and personalized content: with a podcast, twitter spaces can be organized by theme, whether it’s governance updates, community debates, or ecosystem news. it gives listeners the power to find exactly what they care about, making their connection to the dao even stronger.
listen anytime, anywhere: no internet? no problem. with a podcast, members can download episodes and listen offline, during commutes, at the gym, or while relaxing. the freedom to engage with dao content on their own time adds another layer of value.
by transforming over 200 recorded twitter spaces into polished, well-produced podcasts, apecoin dao can amplify its voice and build deeper connections.

AIP-453: All ApeCoin holders get 3D avatars: 3D Avatar Generator compatible with ApeChain and Otherside
by chaps - No Role
Posted on: June 14, 2024, 10:28 p.m.
Content: hi!
dont get me wrong on this one, but seems to me like you want to fund your own 3 d collection via apecoin dao.
i dont see any direct benefit to create a brand new 3 d avatar collection and sell it to apecoin holders.
from my understaning nobody cares about 3 d avatars since there´s no use case for them, we have no estimated time for the otherside to be launched.
and the numbers, omg… a quarter million for a minting site and smart contracts is a total nonsense.

- cynnx: Hi chaps,
I believe you got the proposal the wrong way.
We’re proposing a tool to generate 3D avatars on the web given the user the choices they want for the avatar, so they’re not pre-generated but created in run time.
Both the tool and what gets created with it would be for the ApeCoin DAO, it’s not a new brand we’re creating.
This is a draft where I’m asking for feedback and there’s infinite ways to set up the tool. It can go from a free tool to any ApeCoin holders and that’s it to a revenue stream back to the DAO and anything in between.
Regarding utility, I’m afraid 3D Avatars (actually usable ones, not just a render of a 3D model) have intrinsic utility given that they can be used in tons of applications already. Whenever Otherside is ready, these will be ready too.
Regarding the budget, this technology has only been developed by three organizations in the world, one being us, it’s brand new to do this experience on the web. Also keep in mind we’re getting 3D assets designed and developed by a specialised character art team.
To clarify further, we’re not talking about making a random website to mint a 2D picture (whose only utility is putting it as a profile pic) collection made on Fiverr, that’s incredibly cheap and worthless. This is a site where people can mint 3D wearables to put together into a character that then gets composed and created and it’s good to be used right away. One thing is far from the other.
