AIP-539: Podcastization of ApeCoin Ecosystem’s X Spaces (Resubmission)

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

After collecting feedback, we are now aware that the leap of faith we wanted you to take for the podcastization of the entire ApeCoin ecosystem was a bit ambitious and the ask that came with it too. That’s why we want to start with a manageable proof of concept that everyone can easily follow and evaluate: “the podcastization of all relevant recorded ApeCoin’s X Spaces” as a service for the ApeCoin ecosystem.

Why focus on Spaces? Because they are crucial arenas where our community thrives, engages in discussions, learns, promotes, onboards newcomers to the DAOs, AIP authors pitch their proposals, Apes and Mocas receive ApeChain, Yuga, Moca, Sandbox and Otherside updates, and more. However, these sessions require significant time commitments at inconvenient hours. To address this, we plan to:

Download all recorded ApeCoin-related Spaces, edit and divide them into standalone episodes, crafted according to the host’s outline and the dynamic of each Space. This includes content from ApeComms, ApeCoinGWG News, Bulls on the Block, Bodega, Meet at the Clubhouse, UGH Mocaverse, Pukecast and all other relevant Spaces. After post-production, these episodes will be distributed across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and other platforms. This approach ensures that no one needs to stay glued to their device at inconvenient hours, and episodes can be enjoyed at times and paces that best suit each individual. Like these examples:

Actual ApeComms’ Space of 09/23/24

Episode 1 (where Rida and allo.eth explain their AIP-498)

Episode 2 (where dim.eth explains his AIP-496)

Episode 3 (where Adventurous Ape gives Ape_U updates)
Or like this one from Bulls on the Block Space 09/14 about a VERY special episode dedicated to @ctballer_, @ByAutistic, @OthersideMeta, and @CapetainTrippy’s amazing 45,000 USD contribution to African kids with neurodiversity in Africa (Actually, we had over 220 downloads in 2 days (9/18 and 9/19) after publishing).

All episodes will be hosted in traditional audio hosting platforms AND on ApeChain. Podcast metadata (episode titles, descriptions, etc) will be stored and hosted on Apechain. Audio files will be stored on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) and links to the IPFS audio files will also be included in the Apechain metadata. In total, we will produce 200 ApeCoin Ecosystem’s X Spaces (more than 500 hours of audio) that will be hosted in traditional audio platforms and ApeChain.

Why podcasts? Because podcasts are the most direct, natural, and cost-effective way to communicate. That’s why listeners are growing worldwide nonstop. Since the dawn of time, humans have been wired to respond to voice when it comes with the right words, the right tone, and even the right musicality. Also, podcasts are notably less expensive to produce than video.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

This AIP is conceptualized as a service to the marketing and communications of ALL ApeCoin Ecosystem members. Its immediate benefits are:

Since Spaces are hosted by ApeComms. GWG, MBAs, MOCAs, DAOS, Onboarders, etc… the whole ApeCoin Ecosystem will benefit from this AIP.
Also, since Live AIP Draft authors pitch their AIPs on the Spaces, they will be able to send voters and delegates directly to the post-produced and standalone episode of their AIPs.

OVERALL COST

Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund: $80,000.18 USD (Lucky number: $0.18).

Payment is requested in a lump sum. 200 Spaces x $400 broken down as follows:

Audio engineer Jr. to clean audio master: $50 USD Editor to break down Spaces into episodes: $100 USD Audio engineer Sr. to audio produce and post-produce the final episodes with ProTools = $250 USD Cost of personnel: $400 USD per Space.

PROPOSAL

The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimise for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP. Any material deviations from an AIP, as initially approved, will be disclosed to the APE holder community.

AIP-509: Raising awareness of Ape coin and its ease of use at Traditional Finance Events

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

Having attended several traditional finance conferences during the first half of 2024, I have learned a lot about their views on crypto and more specifically tokens. There is a huge knowledge gap between where the market is and what the finance bros believe. There is a huge number of skeptics and those people when challenged to name three tokens, they struggled, many even believing that there is only one block chain and all tokens sit within it. Others mistakenly called it the “brick-chain”, because each block was similar to a brick and those bricks make up the chain, similar to cementing together a garden wall!

So what is the solution?

I plan to build out my team to own, operate and offer free sessions at traditional finance events using our Coffee Bicycle. A nice warm coffee while you find out about APE and understand that while the Bored Ape Yacht Club was intrinsic in the launch strategy it’s now not its core driving force. I believe we have concentrated on selling to people inside the web3 community and while this is appealing it doesn’t attract enough new customers to offset the staking rewards and tokens being dumped by people who have just become funded.

The advantage of our model is that a percentage of the tokens received will be gifted to new users, allowing them to use ApeChain and purchase a nice warm coffee from our cargo bike, demonstrating how quick and simple it is to make a payment using APE and of course, earning the network another transaction, I believe these types of events are critical to network growth, an increase in network transactions, helps to reassure holders that the chain is alive and working. Having spoken to friends at TEZOS, I know that network activity is a core metric/consideration of any approved grant proposal and I believe that this model will generate transactions and new users, even if it’s only to buy cups of nice warm coffee throughout the winter events. Food and drinks booths have always attracted good footfall at events and with more event organizers removing free coffee stands, I strongly believe this will drive the creation of new wallets and transactions for the network.

So how does the stand work?

The stand will offer free cups of nice warm coffee to those who hold APE coins in their wallet, if the customer does not have any APE coin then they will be shown how to create a coinbase wallet and be sent five APE coin tokens. The web3 educator will help the customer understand web3 and explain how these can then be redeemed for a nice warm coffee, allowing the team to demonstrate the ease of use of APE CHAIN and of course reward the new APE coin holder with a nice warm coffee. Leaving them enough tokens to pop back later and claim a second free coffee. Our event activity will generate one new wallet and three transactions per new customer, at a busy event I would expect to serve a minimum of 200 coffees per day paid for in APE. These customers would likely be new to holding crypto and new to the ecosystem. I will offer quick bite sized fifteen minute web3 explainers and will share them with the wider DAO to ensure the training remains of a suitable standard. The training will also be created as video content and transcribed for a “How to: Ape” book.

How is the business sustainable?

Recycled paper cups and lids made from vegware a full compostable product, water based inks for branding, PVC free printable wrap and of course an eBike base rather than a petrol powered Piaggio APE.

This is where most small businesses would stop and consider themselves green, but for me, this is simply the beginning. I plan to recycle the used coffee grounds into fertilizer to grow mushrooms, these mushrooms will be donated to local food banks, helping to ensure those who need a “help up”, get some nutritious fresh vegetables. Any leftover mushrooms will be converted into animal feed, and again donated to local british farms to help feed livestock.

The cart will also offer orange juice and kombucha to customers, these drinks will be designed to fit within the low carbon business model with as many of the ingredients sourced within 10 miles of production and those that have to be shipped further having at least two purposes, for example our oranges, these will be shipped from mainland europe and as such they will exceed our ideal food miles but I plan to offset this by recycling the the orange peel into fertilizer, this will require washing, which again will be partially offset with the use of fertilizer, helping to improve the mushroom yield. Mushrooms are a low water crop, again making them an ideal product to grow, offsetting carbon dioxide while using a very small amount of water, another precious resource we are conscious of preserving where possible.

Please review our Solar plans;

Solar Needs/Costings Calculator

How is the APE DAO investment being used?

The requested funds from the DAO will be spent on event tickets and the promoting of APE coin and APE chain, the PVC free wrap containing the logo and MAYC 4455, it will also be used to distribute APE token to new holders, to build/buy/customize APE compatible terminals to process the payments. I intend to ensure the ebike attends a minimum of four traditional finance (TradFi) events per annum and the funds will be distributed over a 60 month period. The funds will also be used to generate bite sized video content and face-to-face training. I expect the coffee eBike to generate additional revenue to cover the associated costs of a mobile coffee business and I do not envisage these costs being met by the DAO grant. I have attached a link to the five year forecast below.

APE_Cafe.xlsx

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

I believe that one of the biggest challenges to web3 and DeFi in particular is lack of mainstream adoption, until recently we have only been focused on selling tokens to those who already buy tokens and while this has had some success, it doesn’t solve the wider problem, new users = new liquidity, driving on-chain transactions, raising awareness, creating a positive feedback loop and hopefully helping to stem the outflow of liquidity from project A to project B.

By helping to bridge the knowledge gap between traditional finance and DeFi (decentralized finance) we can help create new wallets, funded with fiat, which is the biggest possible win for web3 and in this case APE. I believe that one token will head down this path and having researched the market, I can envisage, many simply setting up a recurring buy for crypto. Imagine if of the 200 people introduced to APE, 15% set up a recurring order on coinbase, by month 60, those additional monthly sales could total $121,850 (assuming Month on Month growth of 7%), or total sales of c.$1.83 million.

OVERALL COST

Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund = $52,759.89.

This will be paid in traches and based upon completed Milestones.

Initial payment from the DAO: $18,340,07
Payment Two: $13,483.60
Payment Three: $20,936.22

Tranche Funding and Suggested Milestones

One of the crucial discussions that arose during my consultation process was the distribution of $APE. We considered the option of releasing it in phases, a move that would protect the treasury and increase the chances of approval for AIP-509. I fully grasp the concerns and have worked closely with the team, ensuring that everyone’s perspectives are considered when developing a tranche release schedule. This collaborative effort ensures that all stakeholders are involved in the decision-making process, making the proposal more inclusive and effective.

The initial payment of $18,340.07 would be made in $APE (25,046.6201 at the time of writing). This will allow the additional costs of the proposal to be met and ensure the business makes it to at least one event to generate $APE awareness and sign-ups.

AIP-524: ApeLance on ApeChain : WEB 3.0 Bridge (Resubmission)

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

ApeLance is set to transform the freelance landscape by offering a secure, transparent, and efficient platform powered by ApeChain. By ensuring instant payments, confidentiality, and a robust verification system, ApeLance provides a reliable and innovative solution for freelancers and clients worldwide.

Problem: All platforms use third-party payment systems. Traditional freelance platforms charge high fees (up to 40%) and delay payments, which can be a big problem for freelancers. If these payment systems are not available in a particular country, freelancers can face difficulties, including the risk of not receiving their payments. Even when these systems do work, they often charge very high fees. In Asian regions, many freelancers do gig work on the side, and their earnings are typically low. For example, if I complete a $50 job and have to pay a $10 fee, it feels unfair to me.

The Solution: ApeLance Payments in ApeCoin are instant and transparent, significantly reducing the risk of non-payment or delayed payment. Smart contracts hold funds in escrow and release them upon the completion of predefined milestones, ensuring that both parties fulfill their obligations.Payment delays can disrupt the cash flow for freelancers.

Bidding System

Sometimes, employers may not know how to manage their projects or who to hire. In such cases, they can simply post their project on Apelance. People who have the skills and knowledge to complete the job can then submit their own bids, including the price and the time needed to finish the work. This is a unique feature not found on any other freelance platform. Additionally, by setting a budget, clients can quickly find the right person for the job from a wide range of options.

Most lowes fee platform of this industry! and more…

0.5% marketplace fee will be charged if paying and receiving payments using ApeCoin. 1% fee will be charged if payment is made in other coins.

New User Acquisition: By targeting freelancers and clients globally, ApeLance will attract new users to the ApeCoin ecosystem, including those who have not previously engaged with crypto. ApeLance will encourage active participation from the ApeCoin community, including developers, designers, marketers, and other freelancers, fostering a vibrant and collaborative environment. The platform will help businesses find skilled freelancers quickly and efficiently, driving economic activity within the ApeCoin ecosystem.
NFT Verification: The NFT verification feature will incentivize NFT holders to use and hold ApeCoin, increasing engagement within the ApeCoin ecosystem.
Long-Term Viability: The decentralized and transparent nature of ApeLance ensures its sustainability without reliance on a central authority, aligning with the principles of decentralization and self-sovereignty central to the ApeCoin community.

The 0.1% of the market we are targeting amounts to $500 million, representing the total sales between employers and employees. We will generate revenue by taking a commission from these transactions.

Challenges in Asia The reason for focusing on Asian countries is that they are often ranked low in the freelance market because of payment issues. As I mentioned earlier, the payment systems either don’t work, or banks don’t support them. The few systems that do work charge high fees. Even though we all live on the same planet, the opportunities are different. Just think about it—there isn’t even a single McDonald’s or Starbucks in our country. That’s why I want to solve at least one problem that Asians face.

Our goal is to create a blockchain-based P2P freelance platform to capture 0.1% of this rapidly growing market. Unpredictable events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent isolation have demonstrated that people’s lives are not fixed. The next generation dreams of working on diverse projects from anywhere in the world rather than settling in one place.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

We plan to spend 20% of commissions rewarding our most active users and 10% to support initiatives of ApeCoin DAO. Our goal for the next five years is to attract 0.1% of the market, which is estimated $2.5 million. The 20% of commissions allocated for rewarding our most active users will be distributed based on a point system. Points will be awarded for activities such as completing projects, receiving high ratings, and contributing to community discussions. These points can be redeemed for ApeCoin or used to access premium features. The 10% allocated to support ApeCoin DAO initiatives will be used to fund projects and events that align with the DAO’s goals, such as educational programs, community meetups, and development grants. Detailed criteria and application processes for these funds will be developed in collaboration with the DAO. Additionally, users will receive a Job NFT Badge, and job ads and information for NFT-certified users within the Yuga Labs ecosystem will appear at the top of listings. Similarly, Mocaverse NFTs will also rank high.

Regarding the use of ApeCoin trademarks, we do not expect to maintain full ownership rights to the content or IP created as a result of the approval of our proposal. We anticipate that any content produced will be owned by the ApeCoin DAO, aligning with the principles of decentralization and community ownership.

OVERALL COST

Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund = $147,000

Two tranches of funding have been requested: Upon approval, the initial phase would require $67,000 to cover platform development and launch expenses. The second tranche, at the start of Milestone 3, would require $80,000 for marketing, monitoring, maintenance, and other miscellaneous costs.

Technical Development:

Smart Contract Development: $3,000 Developing the smart contracts that will power the decentralized freelance marketplace, ensuring security and functionality.
Integration with ApeChain: $4,000 Integrating the platform with the ApeChain blockchain, including wallet integration and transaction processing.
Security Audits: $20,000 Conducting comprehensive security audits to identify and fix vulnerabilities in the smart contracts and platform.
Blockchain Node Setup and Maintenance: $10,000 Setting up and maintaining the necessary blockchain nodes to support the platform’s operations.

User Interface Design: 5. UX/UI Design: $5,000 Designing the user interface for the platform, focusing on user experience and ease of use. 6. Front-End Development: $10,000 Developing the front-end of the platform, including responsive design for different devices. 7. Testing and Iteration: $5,000 Conducting user testing and iterating on the design based on feedback to ensure a seamless user experience.

Deployment and Launch: 8. Deployment Costs: $10,000 Deploying the platform on the ApeChain mainnet, including final testing and optimization. 9. Launch Marketing: $50,000 Marketing activities to promote the platform launch, including social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, and press releases.

Monitoring and Maintenance (1 year): 10. Ongoing Maintenance: $10,000 Continuous monitoring and maintenance of the platform to ensure stability, performance, and security. This includes server costs, bug fixes, and updates. Miscellaneous Expenses: 11. Contingency Fund: $20,000 Allocated for unforeseen expenses and to cover any additional costs that may arise during the project.

AIP-466: Proposal To Close Non-Essential Working Groups

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

This proposal suggests the following:

Dissolve the Governance Working Group: AIP-239: Working Group Guidelines & The Governance Working Group Charter.
Dissolve the Marketing & Communications Working Group: AIP-246: Working Group Charter - Marketing & Communications.
Dissolve the Metaverse Working Group: AIP-245: Working Group Charter - Metaverse.
Dissolve the Web3 Development Working Group: AIP-376: Working Group Charter - Web3 Development.

The DAO created these working groups, and the DAO is well within its actions, activities, and purview to close them as per AIP-239: Working Group Guidelines & The Governance Working Group Charter.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

Collectively, all four working groups are costing or will cost the DAO almost $3M per year.

To date, the new Working Groups have been largely ineffective in their mandate.

As per the Q1/24 financial reports which we all knew would be bad (and we have yet to see Q2 & Q3), it is clear that the treasury is fast running out of disposable funds. Ape Foundation Transparency Report - 2024 - Q1. We the DAO need to stop the financial bleeding and to take necessary steps to preserve the treasury and reposition it for prosperity.

This proposal has the following vital benefits:

The DAO immediately saves money.
The DAO can re-purpose LESS funds to hire/contract experienced third-parties who have a lot more experience in the specific areas previously outlined in this WG charter.
The DAO no longer has to deal with the distractions, funding, and down time associated with elections as well as the budget proposals and voting for these working groups.
The Ape Foundation can focus on specific mandates which are beneficial to the smooth operation of the DAO.
The Ape Foundation can hire and contract third-party teams//providers on an as-needed basis. This also provides the flexibility of being able to switch teams/providers if they fail to perform as expected or if they don’t perform as per their mandated KPIs, OKRs or if they don’t adhere to strict transparency and accountability guidelines.

OVERALL COST

Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund = $0

Requests of the APE Foundation:

Dissolve the aforementioned working groups.
Pay in full, to affected stewards, any/all amounts that are in arrears.
Wind-down of the operations of any/all activities and entities.
Prevent the DAO from creating any new DAO funded working groups [under the existing charters].
Additionally, at its discretion, the Ape Foundation would put up RFPs for activities and work which were previously required to be performed by the aforementioned working group. As per the RFP, hire third-party teams which would be directed to handle all activities previously performed by this WG.
Manage and co-ordinate the consulting and hiring of any third-parties selected by the RFP to perform the required roles with specific KPIs and OKRs which are to be shared with the DAO community.
As needed, display a new Discourse category called “Job Description” related to either a work for hire request or an RFP so that the DAO community can have the opportunity to participate in such hiring opportunities.

AIP-390: ApeCast - An app that supercharges your listening experience for all things ApeCoin (Resubmission)

ABSTRACT

ApeCast, your app with and audio library full of curated X Spaces and ApeCoin-related recordings! Save time by searching for keywords and listening to specific segments. Read summaries of the audio in the language of your choice for quick overviews. This app will help you catch up on spaces, while not having to listen to the whole thing which can sometimes be 3+ hours!

ApeCast will be released for both iOS and Android.

APP FEATURES

Listening Library This will be a part of the app that will contain spaces and recordings organized by source. This section will also contain searchable transcriptions for each episode and summaries. The summaries will be automatically translated into multiple languages as well. Other features include:

Background listening
Toggle marking an episode as listened
Ability to subscribe to specific sources only The downloaded audio will be minimally processed and uploaded. The goal here is to serve two types of users. The first archetype is the user who normally listens live but missed it this time. This would provide an organized way to listen in after the fact. The second archetype is the user who doesn’t have time to listen to a 90m+ episode but wants to listen to specific parts where “…” is mentioned. So they use the search feature to scrub the transcript and listen to just that part. We believe this is a powerful use case for listeners of long spaces.

Initially, we intend to support ApeComms spaces, MOCA town halls, and Ape Assembly Meetings. If the community wants us to support more, we are happy to add up to a total of five sources.

All the translations will be done automatically using an AI translation tool. Since most times it’s quite accurate, this should suffice to get the meaning across. The initial set of supported languages will be French, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish.

Creator Portal Verified creators will have access to a backend that will allow them to upload audio for processing. They can also edit the transcripts and summaries. This will provide them with more control over their product. Where possible we will auto upload the audio.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

The ApeCoin DAO is a collection of small communities with lots of overlap. Many different spaces hold discussions on AIPs but it’s difficult to keep up. It’s also annoying to search for a specific space from a previous week and listen. This app will improve ease of access, and create an archive of spaces and their transcripts. Those who don’t have a lot of time to quickly skim through the transcript can read the summary. We believe this will increase the number of people who engage in the ApeCoin ecosystem more regularly.

Translations and audio summaries can help expand our community. We have members from all over the world. While English may not be their first language, they spend a lot of time trying to understand what’s going on and be a part of the community. We believe in helping them along their journey.

OVERALL COST

50000 APE Payments will be made upon the completion of each milestone, except for the initial payment.
