ABSTRACT
The Africa ApeCoin Community proposal aims to fund and support the growth of the web3 community in Africa, involved in various online and offline activities throughout the continent.
The group is requesting a monthly allocation of $10 000,00 in ApeCoin (APE Token) for a year to facilitate their community-building initiatives and events, including compensating community managers, delegation leaders, content creators, developers and supporting hackathons and ThankAPE initiatives, as well as support a charity or benefit for the under privileged.
MOTIVATION
The AAC community managers have become actively involved in the ApeCoin ecosystem, contributing to both online and offline community building. They have demonstrated a commitment to the growth of the Ape Ecosystem by hosting various events, participating in DAO activities, and managing an online presence. The requested funding aims to further amplify these efforts and foster the growth of this vibrant community.
RATIONALE
By supporting communities like the Africa ApeCoin Community or AAC, we can further the decentralisation and grassroots growth of the ApeCoin Ecosystem. This community’s activities align with the greater mission and their efforts will enhance the visibility and awareness of web3, benefiting the entire ecosystem.
SPECIFICATIONS
The AAC will use the allocated funds to:
-
Compensate community managers and delegation leaders, acknowledging their valuable contribution to the community.
-
Support various content artists, creators and developers producing engaging digital assets about ApeCoin, the ApeCoin DAO and the AAC community’s activities including ThankAPE initiatives.
-
Support 1 African community/charity project, including fund raising and growth support.
-
Hold regular Twitter Spaces (minimum 2 per month)
The community’s DAO representative, known as “BojangleGuy” and “0xWebMoss”, will continue to attend key Ape meetings and contribute to forums, further integrating the community into the wider Ape family.
- Maintain a Treasury with transparent records of expenditure.

Dear ApeCoin Community
Thank you for your initial feedback, overall feeling is positive. I’ve asked to withdraw this AIP for the interim, so we can better structure it, and provide an outline and breakdown of initiatives and growth opportunities we could utilize. Please check back for updates or follow our community channel in discord. Thanks 0xWebMoss
