What are the Objectives and Key Results which have been identified for your project?

Objectives:

  1. 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.
  1. 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
  1. 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

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Do you provide consent to share these questions and answers with the community in this forum?

Yes
