AIP-268: ApeCoin DAO Voting Adoption Driven by Good Month Labs

ABSTRACT

In this AIP, we will detail how Good Month Labs will drive ApeCoin DAO voting adoption. Over the past 6 months, Good Month Labs has established a web3 podcast called Never Fade. The Never Fade podcast has proven distribution across multiple web3 communities and can be used as a distribution point to drive hype around the Active AIPs to show the DAO’s consistency & effectiveness. Using its Cake platform, Good Month Labs will create a custom dApp to incentivize adoption of governance by allowing the engaged audience of Never Fade to earn $APE. A scalable dApp will allow for deeper integration of networks in the future.

Solution: Voter Adoption dApp UI/UX Demo - YouTube
