AIP-514: 3D Printing and Reward for APE

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

We aim to materialize IPs and provide community members the opportunity to own their 3D models for free. We would also like to provide income for APE community members by offering booths for 3D IP model display and sale (confirmed 1 place in Taiwan called ‘RUH CAFE;’ will find one more spot to sell and display), with all net profits going back to the APE community members. Apecoin exclusively will be used for transactions throughout the process.

We will print 3D models (tentative dimensions - Height:12-30CM, Weight:150-400G) for APE community members, such as KODA, BAYC, MAYC, Mocaverse, etc. For IPs without 3D modeling, we will provide 3D modeling diagram for up to 100 NFTs. For those with 3D models, we will print it for members directly. Each KODA, BAYC, MAYC, and Mocaverse holder can print their model once and choose to sell or keep it. Holders would be expected to provide their address, postal code and phone number for shipping, and those interested in printing a second NFT model would need to queue up again to print. Each model will have the “Powered by Apecoin” logo

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

1. Providing Income for APE Community Members:

• We will offer 3D printing opportunities for KODA, BAYC, MAYC, and Mocaverse. Members can choose to sell or display their models at the 3D IP model booths. Pricing will be determined by the IP holders, and all net profits will go to the APE community members. For holder sales, the display store will submit the report every week; we will post it in our Twitter and everyone can watch it. Also,we will use the official Twitter to contact and send back the income to them within 1 month. All revenues received will be returned to the holders.

2. Maximizing Brand Exposure:

• Each 3D model will feature the “Powered by Apecoin” logo, increasing community cohesion and enhancing meaningful engagement and value.

3. Utilizing Apecoin in Transactions for Real-World Utility:

• Apecoin will be used for transactions at the 3D IP model booths, encouraging its circulation and usage.

4. Synergy Between Digital and Physical Presence:

• The combination of online promotion and physical model presence will amplify impact, attract visitors and media attention, and extend global reach.
