ApeMania is an innovative, on-chain gaming platform designed to bring a new level of excitement and earning potential to the ApeCoin ecosystem. By combining the thrill of lottery-style games with the power of yield-generating ApeCoin staking, ApeMania offers users a unique opportunity to engage in entertaining, provably fair gameplay with low entry and have a chance to win lucrative rewards daily and weekly. The platform leverages VRF for transparency and fairness, and staking pools with auto-compounding, ensuring that users achieve the highest possible yields. ApeMania is designed to enhance the utility of APE tokens, create value for BAYC/MAYC NFT holders, and contribute to the growth of the ApeChain ecosystem.

Ape4D:

Gameplay: A no-loss 4D lottery that allows participants to engage with small entries and win big rewards.

Entry Requirement: Players can participate by depositing a fixed amount of APE per number.

Prizes: Daily draws feature 23 prizes, with a variety of winning opportunities.

Jackpots:

• Daily Jackpot: Starts with an initial pot of 500 APE, accumulating 5% from yield daily.
• Weekly Jackpot: Starts with an initial pot of 1000 APE, accumulating 10% from yield daily.

Multiple Pools: Creating new pools upon 90% entry with incremental bonuses.

Pool-based staking:

• Designed for BAYC and MAYC NFT holders.

• Auto-Compounding: Automatically reinvests earnings to maximize yield over time.

Dice Streak:

Gameplay: Roll with three dice and user place bets on possible outcomes

Betting Options: Large sum (11-18), small sum (3-10), streak (3 identical numbers)

The Rolling Apes:

Gameplay: A wheel spin game where the chance of winning is proportional to the player’s stake in the overall pot.

Bingo:

Revenue Model

1. Yield Generation:

2. Game Fees:

• 1% fee charged on winnings in most games.

4. Ecosystem Expansion:

• ApeMania plans to extend its platform to accommodate other yield-generating cryptocurrencies, broadening its appeal and user base.

5. Project Collaboration

• The platform offers customized staking games in collaboration with other projects, fostering innovation and mutual growth.

ApeMania represents a unique blend of entertainment and financial opportunity, creating a synergistic environment where APE holders, NFT owners, and the broader ApeChain community can thrive. Through its diverse game offerings and robust revenue model, ApeMania is poised to become a cornerstone of the Web3 gaming and staking landscape.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

ApeMania will benefit the ApeCoin ecosystem in several ways:

1. Increased Utility for ApeCoin:

• ApeMania introduces new ways for APE holders to utilize their tokens beyond traditional trading or holding. By participating in games, lotteries, and staking pools, users engage more actively with the token, driving demand and circulation.

2. Strengthened Community Engagement:

• Engaging Gameplay: By offering a suite of fun, interactive games, ApeMania fosters a more vibrant and engaged ApeCoin community. The platform’s unique games, such as Ape4D, Dice Streak, and Bingo, offer daily and weekly participation opportunities, keeping users consistently active within the ecosystem.
• Loyalty and Retention: The potential for winning substantial prizes and earning yields can encourage long-term retention of APE within the ecosystem, as users are incentivized to hold and stake their tokens.

3. Ecosystem Growth:

• Ecosystem Expansion: ApeMania’s future plans to support other yield-generating cryptocurrencies and collaborate on custom staking games can attract new users and projects to the ApeChain ecosystem, broadening its reach and influence.
• Giving back: Contribute 10% of the platform’s gross revenue to ApeCoin DAO to further support the development of the ecosystem.

4. Synergistic Growth with ApeChain:

• Network Effect: As ApeMania contributes to the utility and appeal of ApeCoin, it also strengthens the broader ApeChain ecosystem. The platform’s success can inspire the development of additional projects and dApps on ApeChain, fostering a thriving, interconnected network.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

We propose organizing an official attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the largest Gin & Tonic during NFT Paris 2025 in Paris. This event aims to engage the ApeCoin DAO community, foster creativity and collaboration, and increase media presence for ApeCoin and the upcoming ApeChain. The project will also help promote the ApeCoin ecosystem, creating a platform for connecting with a broad audience interested in NFTs, blockchain, and modern technologies, with the support of ApeCoinDAO, BAYC, MAYC, YugaLabs, and Mocavers community members.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

1. Strengthening ApeCoin and ApeChain Brand Awareness : The Guinness World Record event will capture significant media attention, amplifying the visibility of both ApeCoin and ApeChain . Through a comprehensive social media promotional campaign, this project will enhance the positive image of ApeCoin and its connection to the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
2. Supporting Community Engagement : This project is designed to foster stronger relationships within the ApeCoin community, promoting collaboration and creativity. Initiatives like the 10k $APE Giveaway will serve as a catalyst for community engagement and increased participation among community members.
3. Utilizing the Guinness Brand : Aligning the event with the globally recognized Guinness brand and using their logo will elevate the prestige of the project. This association will draw global attention, and the experienced Guinness team’s support in organizing the event will further enhance our project’s promotional impact.
4. **Long-Term Promotion through GinApe : **Every bottle of GinApe will feature the “Powered by ApeCoin” logo, providing 12 months of ongoing promotion for the ApeCoin brand on products sold worldwide. Additionally, 20% of gross revenue will be contributed to the ApeCoin DAO Treasury , providing tangible financial benefits to the DAO and its members.
5. Mystery Box and Giveaway : These elements are key components of our promotional strategy. Both the **Mystery Box **and 10k $APE Giveaway are designed to boost community engagement and generate media buzz around the event and the ApeCoin brand.
6. Cost Efficiency : It’s important to highlight that the cost of the gin and tonic itself accounts for only about 7% of the project’s total budget, with the majority of the investment focused on logistics, promotion, and event organization rather than the product itself.
