• PSA: Do Not Transfer $APE to the DAO’s Smart Contract Address by moonkt - No Role
  Posted on: Jan. 4, 2024, 3 a.m.
  Content: This public service announcement is a warning for our community members: please do not send funds to the ApeCoin DAO’s smart contract address. Unfortunately, when this occurs, there is nothing the APE Foundation nor anybody else can do to reverse the transaction and retrieve the tokens. The reason for this is the decentralized nature of the DAO’s smart contract. Nobody has access to its keys. As a result, all funds sent to the contract, even if they were sent as an honest mistake, are permanently locked. And nobody wants that! In case it’s helpful, you can read more about sending funds to the wrong address here.

• @Bernard - Nomination 1/2022 by moonkt - No Role
  Posted on: Nov. 27, 2022, 6:11 p.m.
  Content: Personal Information Discourse ID: @Bernard Twitter: x.com Name: Bernard Schmid DOB: 3 / 8 / 1994 Email: bernard@web 3 -studios.com Educational Background: Master in Business and Management at London School of Economics; Bachelor of Economics and Finance Frankfurt University Professional Background: Founding member of web 3 Studios - a team that supports DAOs on strategic and finance topics. Previously, 3 years at McKinsey, where I worked for their venture practice, setting up venture funds, incubation units, and ventures for larger companies. Prior to that, worked for a venture capital fund and several high-growth ventures. Nomination Statement I’m here to help ApeCoin grow and add REAL value - with full-time dedication and experience from McKinsey, setting up own DAOs, and a strong network from releasing market reports with web 3 leaders (Seb from Sandbox, Punk 6529 , gmoney, and more). Motivation Personal: Met ApeCoin Team on the ground at ETH SF. I was amazed by their vibe and vision of making ApeCoin one of the largest gaming economies in the world. I have been following BAYC and the NFT space as a whole since day 1 and believe very strongly in the unique potential of the community. Value: I can add REAL value for ApeCoin: Quit my full-time job working for McKinsey and bring a unique mix of skills to the table. (a) Analytical rigor and experience: In the past, I set up governance processes, developed business strategies, and structured venture funds (much like the ApeCoin ecosystem fund) for some of the world’s leading companies with McKinsey. (b) I know the NFT space inside out, bring a strong network with leaders in the space, and have a clear view of who to partner with. I released multiple reports on the NFT market where I worked together with Seb from Sandbox, Punk 6529 , gmoney, Herman from Improbable, and many more leaders. (b) On top, I gathered experience in setting up own DAOs (McKinsey Crypto DAO and LSE DAO), worked for DAOs (Gro DAO), and co-founded the web 3 Strategy and Finance Association to support DAOs in a more structured manner. Dedication: Dedicated my career to helping DAOs and NFT communities: For most of my professional life, I have been involved in strategy, finance, and governance topics. I worked in a mix of early-stage companies, larger companies, venture capitalists, and banks, where I have experienced many failures. I wanted to do something about it. So when I learned about DAOs, I quit my job to focus my mind space on these topics. Rationale Top Analytical Background - to make data-driven decisions: McKinsey, Investment Banking, Start-ups, and studied Finance and Economics at London School of Economics. Governance Experience - to set up clean governance structures: Founder web 3 Studios helping DAOs to set up governance structures; Supported leading corporates in setting up governance structures with McKinsey; Steering committee at McKinsey DAO, Founding Member LSE DAO, Community Building Experience and Network - to grow the ApeCoin ecosystem: Released leading report about Digital Identities with Seb from Sandbox, Herman from Improbable etc, with over 1 m views; Build up own talent pool with young web 3 talents from leading universities of this world (Stanford, Cambridge, London Business School) Web 3 Venture Investments Experience - to guide ecosystem fund allocation: Worked for Venture Capital Investor, have done 25 + own investments, and provide capital raising support for start-ups and ecosystem funds Specifications Governance experience Steering committee of the McKinsey Crypto DAO (like Orange DAO for YC founders) - setting up governance structures, developing DAO strategy, and increasing transparency. Governance projects for some of the world’s leading corporates - structured department reorganizations, developing hiring and training plans, and setting up employee compensation schemes through work at McKinsey. Supporting several smaller DAOs and Crypto Companies on Treasury Management and Strategic Finance topics. Launching LSE DAO (DAO for London School of Economics alumni) - setting up governance structures, managing community, leading member acquisition. Ideas for improvement: Set up increased transparency for complex matters: I plan to restructure the presentation of ApeCoin DAOs Financial and Risk Situation, incl. the ecosystem fund. Taking the abstract layer away to boil down complex matters to key decision criteria. This is what I’ve done at McKinsey for most of my career and when talking to several people in the community have a feeling that this should be improved, especially as a service for the wider ApeCoin community who have full-time jobs and limited capacity. Run ApeCoin-internal governance analysis: As we are laying the foundation for potentially one of the largest gaming economies out there, it is key to set up world-class governance structures. While the current processes are market standard and work reasonably well, I believe ApeCoin has the chance to shape the leading edge of DAO governance - and the time for that is now. This will demand a lot of testing, e.g., with different participation schemes, committee/council team structures, barriers to contributing etc. For this, I would start with an internal analysis of current governance, do a benchmark analysis of other leading DAOs, and evaluate improvement potential. Launch collaborative content unit: I’ve been releasing class-A market reports with a group of other web 3 experts. This is an enriching experience on many fronts. (a) You learn a lot; (b) You work together as a team; (c) You produce high-quality content that moves the ecosystem forward. I feel we have a unique angle with the ApeCoin DAO and would love to release these types of reports as a community. Concluding Statement I quit my full-time job to do this - help DAOs with strategy, finance, and governance. I would be honored to be part of the ApeCoin Special Council, and I strongly believe that I can make a real contribution to making the ApeCoin DAO the world’s leading gaming economy - with my experience from McKinsey, building own DAOs, and my strong network from research work with web 3 leaders (Seb from Sandbox, Punk 6529 , gmoney and others).
