What are the Objectives and Key Results which have been identified for your project?
Objectives:
- Amplify ApeCoin DAO’s mission to use web3 for innovation and to spread $Ape reach.
- By onboarding wider global communities into web3, we will fuel innovation, collaboration, and creativity so that ApeDAO can have a broader impact, expanding the $Ape ecosystem.
- Design workshops and learning experiences for entrepreneurs, creatives, and builders to develop skills and incorporate $Ape into their projects / business ideas.
- We build on the success of our prior hackathon/workshops, and have support from local Moldovan organizations ArtCor and MediaCor. Potential workshops include:
- Foundations of blockchain and decentralization, and how participants can apply them to their business ideas
- The role of community in building one’s brand in web3, and how to reach audiences
- How to create and launch a Smart contract as a minimum viable test
- Web3 marketing
- Produce a limited edition artwork by Ladies of BAYC artist @Stellitart in collaboration with local artists
- In collaboration with our local partner, ArtCor, we will build off last year’s Creative Industry Festival by inviting the artists in residence to co-create work inspired by the $Ape brand as a symbol for future innovation. The art will be made into a collectible for $Ape holders.
Key Results:
To measure success, we will assess:
a) participation: # of applications and # of participants in the hackathon workshops and learning experiences; also, # of ApeDAO members serving as mentors and/or facilitating a workshop
b) impact: survey data indicating 90% of participants or > indicate the event supported their web3 learning, helped build business and integrate $Ape, and expanded their network
c) technical artifacts / minimum viable products: evidence of participants incorporating $Ape into business ideas, quality of ideas and innovation
d) art installation / product: creation of a lasting art piece that reflects $Ape reach and collaboration across artist communities; curate a gallery of the art.
e) reach and visibility: # of articles / podcasts / press about the hackathon and $Ape brand
- Please elaborate on your expectations for the future.
Building off the success of our previous engagement in September 2022, we expect to replicate our model in other locations around the world, centering $Ape and the ApeDAO as a leading global brand in both innovation and change.
Additionally, we will make available the “playbook” for the hackathon, workshops, and learning experiences so that others in the $Ape community can transfer and apply to any geographic location.
- Is the Ape Foundation expected to engage in any of the steps of the AIP implementation? If so, please specify the step and elaborate how it is expected to work.
Short answer: No; the Ape Foundation is not expected to engage in any steps of the AIP implementation.
Slightly longer answer: if passed, we would appreciate it if ApeCoin Twitter retweeted our call for mentors / facilitators to lead workshops. In addition, during the hackathon, we would appreciate ApeCoin promoting the event by quoting and retweeting in an effort to amplify the event and story.

@amplify.Admin — hi there! Happy Friday! Just a quick check in on when I can anticipate additional information on next steps. I know there’s a lot happening with the elections, and so wanted to see whether you have an update. Thank you!
-NFTxExplore
I just looked at AIP-155. 320 of votes out of 721 votes are in violation of ApeCoin Dao voting rules. They are all under 1 Ape. All of the 320 votes combined is 98.8 ApeCoin!
I downloaded the voting data CSV from snapshot for this data.
I looked at 187 as well. It is even higher with 440 out of 817 in violation of voting rules.
When you have time please look at this AIP Idea.
@Vulkan as you posted about this on twitter I would like to get your opinion.

Hi @NFTxExplore,
Thank you for your participation and contributions to the DAO.
We have an important update regarding the voting process for your AIP. You have the option to extend your proposal’s timeline by one week before the voting phase begins, if you need extra time to prepare yourself or make adjustments to your proposal.
Please consider your timeline and let us know if you would like to take advantage of this extension option. If we don’t receive a reply from you before Thursday at 6pm PST, the proposal will proceed to the voting stage as planned.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. We appreciate your engagement and look forward to seeing your proposal progress.
Best regards,
@Lost.Admin – thanks for following up, and I’m ready to forge ahead. I’ve attached the proposal, slightly updated. And, I have a corresponding deck that I was going to share with @SeraStargirl for Comms. Should I attached that as well?
Please let me know, and thanks! – NFTxExplore

Proposal Name: $Ape x Innovation: Expanding the $Ape Universe
Proposal Category: Ecosystem Allocation
PDF Deck: $Ape & Innovation Expanding the $Ape Universe.pdf (4.8 MB)
Abstract:
In September 2022, NFTxExplore, a Ladies of BAYC member, teamed up with a friend and designed a web3 hackathon in Moldova where entrepreneurs created innovative business ideas using blockchain technology. The event received over 500 applications for 100 spots.
During the event, they introduced skills such as how to create a Smart contract, build community, and develop a DAO; NFTxExplore used the ApeCoinDAO as an example and tapped into builders across web3 as mentors to lead virtual sessions. Teams pitched their business ideas, and the top three joined the HUG, a leading web3 incubator that supports early stage web3 businesses.
Check out these two videos about the event: https://www.facebook.com/yepmoldova/videos/1121038925455387 and Se formează prima comunitate Web3 din Moldova - YouTube
This grant builds off of last year’s event, and will place $ApeCoin at the center of the experience. $Ape is designed to drive culture forward and as a tool for developers to participate in the ecosystem by incorporating $Ape into services, games, and projects.
NFTxExplore and her colleague will provide web3 learning experiences to spread the $Ape brand and position $ApeCoin at the forefront of web3 innovation and creativity. We’ll lead a hackathon, invite $Ape mentors from the DAO to lead sessions, and create an onsite art installation as part of the 4-day experience.
The art installation will be in collaboration with another Ladies of BAYC member, artist Stella (@Stellitart), and local artists. As a part of this engagement, we will produce an art product available free to $Ape holders. We will also invite local and international media to cover the event and amplify the $Ape brand across web3.
We seek $28,400 USD.
Author Description: NFTxExplore is the Chief Learning Officer of a non-profit that supports entrepreneurship as a lever for economic mobility. She has a PhD in Education and an MBA in Entrepreneurship, and has been designing learning experiences internationally for over 25-years. She occasionally Co-hosts Ladies of BAYC Twitter spaces, and designed and led Moldova’s first web3-focused hackathon.
Additional Team Members:
@Stellitart, a fellow Ladies of BAYC, is a Digital & oil painting artist, yoga instructor, and Director of vibes @GalaxyFight_NFT
@Michael_Littig is the Director of Creator Programming at HUG.
Motivation:
We want to amplify ApeCoin DAO’s mission to use web3 for innovation and to spread $Ape reach. By onboarding wider global communities into web3, we will fuel innovation, collaboration, and creativity so that the DAO can have a broader impact.
With support from local Moldovan organizations ArtCor and MediaCor, we build on the success of our prior event. We’ll create workshops and learning experiences for entrepreneurs, creatives, and builders to promote co-creation and web3 innovation. Potential workshops include: Foundations of blockchain and decentralization, and how participants can apply them to their business ideas; the role of community in building one’s brand in web3, and how to reach audiences; how to mint and launch a Smart contract as a minimum viable test; and, web3 marketing. In particular, as web3 grows and more people “ape into” the space, the ApeCoin DAO can lead the onboarding charge and help others incorporate $Ape into their projects.
To measure success, we will consider: a) participation: # of applications and # of participants; impact: survey data indicating 90% of participants or > indicate the event supported their web3 learning, helped build business and integrate $Ape, and expanded network; technical artifacts: evidence of participants incorporating $Ape into business ideas, quality of ideas and innovation; reach and visibility: # of articles / podcasts / press about the hackathon and $Ape brand.
We are also excited to produce a limited edition artwork by Ladies of BAYC artist @Stellitart in collaboration with local artists. In collaboration with our local partner, ArtCor, we will build off last year’s Creative Industry Festival by inviting the artists in residence to co-create work inspired by the $Ape brand as a symbol for future innovation. The art will be made into a collectible for $Ape holders.
Rationale:
In September, 2022, NFTxExplore partnered with Michael Littig from HUG (@thehugxyz) and local organizations for a series of Web3-focused events and a hackathon. That initial event promoted a vibrant culture of creativity and innovation, development and application of web3 skills, and activated Moldovan solutions using web3 and blockchain technology.
Now, with proof of concept from the initial experience, we’d like this opportunity to deepen the $Ape Community’s mission to steward web3 growth and development. We will create 4-days of events in collaboration with local partner organizations and ApeCoin DAO members (as mentors), and create an original art piece by @Stellitart for $Ape members upon completion of the event.
We appreciate the support of the ApeCoin DAO to contribute to the continued spread of $Ape and web3 innovation, helping others incorporate $Ape into projects. Specifically, we will be ambassadors of the ApeCoin DAO and promote web3 for social good. This positions ApeCoin DAO on the front lines to impact promising pathways for hundreds of people, with an extended ripple effect.
This event can also be replicated across geographic areas by other $Ape members in other communities.
Specifications:
-
Zoom (for remote workshops, mentoring, and/or panel discussions)
Steps to Implement and Timeline:
July 2023-August 2023: design workshops and coordinate with local organizations; identify mentors from ApeCoin DAO
September 2023: NFTxExplore, Michael, and Stelliart, will return to Moldova to provide workshops and a hackathon for creatives, entrepreneurs, and independent media. @Stelliart will collaborate with local artist(s) to design and produce collaborative artwork. This will be reproduced as a product for DAO members.
In addition, with the support of the ApeCoin DAO and HUG community, we will secure interviews on leading podcasts in the web3 space and Sirius XM.
With an aim towards sustainability, Moldovan creators will be invited to continue mentorship with HUG, a leading web3 technology accelerator, over the course of three months to help Moldovan creators build their $Ape businesses and network with others. Those creators will be featured on HUG’s social and curation platform, and further highlighted on social channels (combined social reach of 300K) to engage the international community beyond Moldova.
October 2023: Artwork will be reproduced for ApeDAO members
August 2023 - December 2023:
-
Submit to SXSW as a case study focusing on web3 for social good and how $Ape sparks innovation in web3 projects
