• Implementation Update | AIP-110: Meebits PropHouse sponsored by ApeCoin by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 9, 2024, 10:57 p.m.
  Content: AIP- 110 update: This AIP was completed in February 2023 . This AIP funded 3 PropHouse rounds and awarded 9 teams with 1 , 000 APE each ($ 68 , 510 USD total). You can view the rounds here. The Meebits PropHouse awarded some amazing projects including: Meebits: Guess Who? game (I purchased one and have played a ton!) Meebits-branded skate park in Rio Meebits Legos from Forever Apes (I bought this for my Meebs and love it!) MeeKit (a Blender toolkit to easily animate your Meebits). @BojangleGuy ran the PropHouse program and was instrumental in its success. He managed a dedicated PropHouse X account and engaged with both Meebits DAO and Nouns DAO to activate participation. Thank you for going above and beyond! Seneca and the Nouns community also deserve shoutouts - they built the entire back-end to support PropHouse and were so instrumental in amplifying our reach through Twitter Spaces, reposting, and direct outreach to community members. They really wanted us to be successful and they really showed what web 3 is all about. This AIP was a great example of using microgrants to activate an ecosystem. Not only did this PropHouse fund some great projects, but it also inspired the community as well… Not only did we onboard some great community members from Meebits and Nouns, but we saw folks like Thank Ape continue the effort with their own PropHouse. The 13 , 000 APE requested for this AIP went 100 % to the prize pools. All 13 , 000 APE were distributed to PropHouse round winners, and this AIP is completed.

• Implementation Update | AIP-89: Improved delegation experience by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 9, 2024, 9:27 p.m.
  Content: AIP- 89 update: This AIP was completed February 2023 and is available here. The grant was fully funded, and an open source version of the delegation site was shared with the Foundation administrators in 2023 . Features of the delegation site include: Uploading of delegation statements Ability to see delegate voting history Filtering of delegates by voting power, random shuffle, new, and alphabetical Real-time and historical data on Snapshot proposals Ability to delegate for the first-time or re-delegate voting power Since the release of the delegation site, over 100 delegates have uploaded statements! These delegates are very active contributors / participants in the DAO, and have a strong track record of voting on proposals (you can see for yourself by filtering for delegates ‘with statements’ and viewing their individual profiles). Open sourcing the delegation site allows it to be a public resource for the DAO and the blockchain community at large. Anyone is able to suggest improvements and built on top of the base work that has been completed. I don’t believe the foundation has published the repository yet, but they have everything they need to do so. This AIP has been completed and is accessible via apecoin.com. Or users can go directly to delegate.apecoin.com.

• Implementation Update | AIP-96: Funding for Public Goods (ETHGlobal & Gitcoin) by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 9, 2024, 8:40 p.m.
  Content: Update on AIP- 96 : This AIP requested $ 200 k in APE to fund two public goods initiatives: sponsoring the ETHSF hackathon and sponsoring a Gitcoin grants program. $ 45 k of the budget was used to sponsor the ETHGlobal SF hackathon, which took place in November 2022 . The event had over 1 , 700 hackers in attendance, 38 % of whom were new to web 3 ! This was also the first hackathon ApeCoin sponsored, and we received 36 project submissions and awarded $ 10 k in prizes across 6 teams. MAYC-inspired game Another World won a top prize, and that team has continued to build on top of the hackathon project. The full list of project submissions and prize winners for ETHGlobal SF is available [here]. (ApeCoin @ ETHGlobal Hackathons - Google Sheets). Unfortunately, the Gitcoin grants program did not get off the ground. This was due to a combination of ( 1 ) Gitcoin was moving fully on-chain, and put a pause on new programs in 1 H 2023 ; and ( 2 ) running a dedicated ApeCoin grants program required significant time and resources to implement successfully, and my availability to run the program changed by the time we were ready to go live. I spoke with many DAO members about helping me run the program, but ultimately was unable to find someone who could support the scope of work needed. Gitcoin was great and offered to support our efforts, but it was clear the program would be most successful with a dedicated ApeCoin stakeholder who could manage the end-to-end process. Ultimately we decided to cancel the Gitcoin portion of the grant. The program was never funded, so the unused funds were released back to the DAO treasury. I hope we can try another Gitcoin grants program at another time - it’s a great initiative and a great team. But really happy we were able to sponsor ETHGlobal SF with this AIP!

• Implementation Update | AIP-134: Bug Bounty Program for AIP-21 by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Sept. 9, 2024, 1:09 p.m.
  Content: Austin from Llama, who is running the bounty program, has the implementation updates. The bounty program continues for as long as staking is live. We’ll continue to receive updates on bounties given, but given how long the contract is out I don’t think it’s likely bounties will be found.

• AIP-230: ‘I don’t hate apes, I just want them to fund public goods!” by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: March 21, 2023, 7:56 p.m.
  Content: i spoke with the ethereum foundation and the team working on account abstraction, and it felt like account abstraction-specific donations should sit as a separate AIP that will just be focused on that initiative. In the meantime, we can still support account abstraction efforts through ETH Global and offering prizes for projects focused on AA thank you for the support :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

• AIP-230: ‘I don’t hate apes, I just want them to fund public goods!” by maariab - Accepted AIP Author
  Posted on: Feb. 23, 2023, 6:08 a.m.
  Content: Proposal Name: ‘I don’t hate apes, I just want them to fund public goods!” Category: Ecosystem Fund Allocation Abstract: 1184 × 452 48 . 5 KB This AIP provides for $ 1 , 000 , 000 to fund crypto public goods through ETH Global and ApeCoin hackathons. The goal of this proposal is to 1 ) give back to the Ethereum community; 2 ) further development work around account abstraction; and 2 ) introduce developers to ApeCoin Author Description I was previously an ApeCoin special council member, serving from March 2022 to December 2022 . I previously authored AIP- 96 , which provided public goods funding for ETHSF and a Gitcoin grants program. You can find me on Twitter @maariabajwa or on the DAO forum @maariab. Team Description I will coordinate between ETHGlobal and the Foundation. Judges for each hackathon will be selected from the community, and will primarily rely on more technical persons who can provide support to hackathon participants. Judges for IRL events will be selected from the local communities. For ETHGlobal IRL events, I’d like to request that at least 1 member from the current Special Council be present for each event. Motivation: ApeCoin would not be possible without Ethereum. As a public good, Ethereum benefits from shared responsibility and collective appreciation, and the ApeCoin community should make a concerted effort to directly support this ecosystem. ETHGlobal has been a community staple since 2017 and has introduced THOUSANDS of developers to the ecosystem. It is a staple for fostering ongoing interest in the ecosystem, which includes ERC- 20 s like ApeCoin. ApeCoin’s first ETHGlobal event was at ETHSF in December - over 35 teams built around APE which was great for driving awareness for our community. We should participate in as many of these events as we can in 2023 . This AIP proposes continued participation in ETHGlobal hackathons in 2023 , as well as a one-time donation to the ETHGlobal foundation. Many projects have scaled back their participation in public goods initiatives and hackathons in the bear market which creates challenges for organizations like ETHGlobal. A donation to the foundation ensures that these hackathons can continue operating and supporting the Ethereum and ApeCoin ecosystems. Account abstraction is a very complex upgrade that requires buy-in from both users and block validators, but if it’s adopted it creates a pathway to much better wallet UX AND better security. AA aims to make every wallet a smart contract wallet, so wallets can natively embed security features such as 2 FA, multi-sig, seed recovery, etc directly into the user experience. Rationale: Participating in hackathons gets ApeCoin more visibility and encourages developers to build for this community. It also serves as a way for ApeCoin to support public goods and other communities. The goal of this funding is to increase awareness and adoption of ApeCoin. Success will be measured based on the entire ecosystem’s success. Funding these programs is the best thing the DAO can do for the collective good of crypto (which impacts us). Key Terms: EthGlobal: organization that operates global hackathons that support the growth and development of the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum account abstraction (erc- 4337 ): a proposed Ethereum improvement that aims to simplify the process of creating and managing smart contracts. Specifications: ApeCoin DAO will provide $ 1 , 000 , 000 to the following: $ 300 , 000 donation to ETH Global $ 700 , 000 to participate in 11 ETHGlobal hackathons in 2023 7 IRL events and 4 online events $ 40 k Pillar Tier sponsorship + $ 10 k prize pool per event [packages here 3 ] $ 50 k in prize matching with Ethereum Foundation for specific initiatives around NFTs, DAOs, zk scaling, and account abstraction (to further our support of public goods initiatives) $ 50 k for operational operational costs related to IRL events including TBD swag bag items, content creation, and travel reimbursements. ETH SF in December was the first hackathon for ApeCoin - pics of the banners and swag bag items we used are below: Up to $ 50 k for unexpected operational or prize expenses in 2023 . For example, ETHGlobal recently added 1 more IRL event in 2023 with ETHLisbon. This additional buffer will also give us flexibility to participate in more prize matching with the Ethereum Foundation, as those initiatives are formed. This funding will not be called upon or used unless needed, and at the end of the year any unused proceeds will be released back to the DAO. About ETHGlobal Opportunity to introduce ApeCoin to thousands of developers in 2023 ETHGlobal has organized over 40 hackathons around the world since 2017 . Over 14 k developers have participated in these hackathons, building over 3 . 3 k projects. In 2023 , ETHGlobal plans to host 18 events around the world and online. This AIP proposes the DAO participate in 11 events. With Pillar Tier sponsorship, ApeCoin will have up to 5 representatives at the IRL events Every IRL event will recruit 3 - 4 people from the local ApeCoin community to attend the event and participate in the hackathon judging Judging for online hackathons TBD Dates [ETHGlobal] 3 / 10 : Scaling Ethereum [Online] 4 / 14 : Tokyo [IRL] 5 / 12 : Lisbon [IRL] 6 / 23 : Waterloo [IRL] 7 / 21 : Paris [IRL] 9 / 22 : New York [IRL] 10 / 6 : ETHOnline [Online] Q 4 Devcon [IRL] TBD: Istanbul [IRL] TBD Themed Event [Online] TBD Themed Event [Online] Prizes for ETHGlobal events will be decided on by 5 judges from the ApeCoin community. Up to 4 APE holders can join me for the IRL events. Please reach out to me if you’re interested in participating. Steps to Implement: $ 300 k donation sent to ETHGlobal in USD $ 40 k in USD sent to ETHGlobal to cover sponsorship fees prior to each hackathon $ 10 k in APE sent to ETHGlobal to cover prizes at the conclusion of each hackathon $ 50 k for operational costs will be requested as needed from the Foundation as those expenses are incurred. Receipts will be provided to the Foundation for expense reimbursement. Events will be coordinated by myself and at least 1 member of the Special Council Timeline: First program funded will be Scaling Ethereum in March. Programs will run through EOY. The Foundation will coordinate with the Ethereum Foundation and ETHGlobal directly to distribute proceeds. Operational expenses will be reimbursed after they are incurred to ensure the Foundation is covering only relevant expenses. Each event will require separate coordination for attendees + marketing. Overall Cost: The estimated cost of this program is roughly $ 1 , 000 , 000 for 2023 . This includes: $ 300 , 000 donated to ETHGlobal $ 700 , 000 to sponsor 11 ApeCoin hackathons + at least 5 public goods initiatives

  • adventurousape: Thanks so much for this proposal @maariab. Love that your putting forth another public goods proposal. I think ETH SF was one of the DAO’s most successful proposals, so it’s great to see you expanding on it! maariab: Account abstraction is a very complex upgrade that requires buy-in from both users and block validators, but if it’s adopted it creates a pathway to much better wallet UX AND better security. AA aims to make every wallet a smart contract wallet, so wallets can natively embed security features such as 2FA, multi-sig, seed recovery, etc directly into the user experience. Can you imagine a world where the seed phrase goes away?! I believe this is very necessary to even begin considering mainstream adoption. It would be amazing if the ApeCoin DAO could play a part in figuring out how to do this. I absolutely agree that mainstream adoption won’t happen until this problem gets solved. If both your and @ssp1111’s proposal, AIP-226: ApeCoinIRL - Decentralized Events Network passes, would love to see coordination between them. Thanks again for putting this proposal forth!
  • badteeth: maariab: give back to the Ethereum community; 2) further development work around account abstraction; and 2) introduce developers to ApeCoin I love the idea of ApeCoin supporting these initiatives – playing a role in the progression of account abstraction would be huge win as we move towards the greater metaverse. Funding public goods is something we should be putting our resources to as well. Seems like a win-win to me, thanks for putting this together!
  • Vulkan.Admin: maariab: further development work around account abstraction That makes sense, thanks @maariab. In the proposal Abstract above, it mentions the item above as one of the goals. Is this specific point still a goal of this proposal?
