AIP-256 - ApeCoin DAO Mission Statement - Request for Submissions

I am against changing the current mission statement right now, I see that we are not ready and we can work with the original statement mentioned by the founders.

a friend asked me to submit what I think is a good mission statement beside the original one

and so I did…

When I was crafting ApeCoin DAO’s mission, I considered these key elements:

Evolution, clear deliverables, digital culture focus, partnership, commitment, and cultural impact. I also thought about inclusivity, empowerment, future orientation, being an innovation driver, value creation, and community building. These elements guided me to write a mission that reflects our values.

I hope you like one of them :purple_heart:

1st Statment

Our mission at ApeCoin DAO is to evolve alongside builders, not only providing them with platforms for connection and collaboration IRL but also funding their initiatives to inspire and shape the culture in the digital world.

Had to write IRL for the culture there lol
it can be the physical world too :smile:

2nd Statment

At ApeCoin DAO, our mission is to grow in partnership with builders, offering them robust platforms for collaboration, connection, and crucial funding. We are committed to fueling their innovative initiatives, with the ultimate goal of bringing the culture to the digital world.

Also can we add “Happy Birthday PPMan” to the end of whatever statement the community choose? :eyes:

I don’t know how variations work, so submitting all of mine. I ran a test poll and it was interesting to find how some loved a statement “but only if you remove X part”. Plus, we wanted more submissions, right? :sweat_smile: Special thanks to @ssp1111 for spending like 3 hours on a call with me, brainstorming.

Anon Submission

Proposed mission: “ApeCoin’s mission is to become the coin of metaverse culture and blockchain gaming.”

This mission statement captures the various components of the vision stated on the apecoin.com website, but distills it down into one simple sentence.

If I were to expand upon the objectives arising from this mission, I would say that this mission will be fully achieved once every major metaverse experience is using $APE as its base-layer token, and every major blockchain game is using $APE as its in-game currency.

We want ApeCoin to be so widely used, that every time your average person thinks of the metaverse or web3 gaming, they think of ApeCoin.

Mission Statement

Apecoin DAO is a place to foster community ideas and expanding the culture of $ape. A haven for builders, artist and all every holders who share the vision of $ape as the currency of metaverse which we all are building together.

Explanation

  • Purpose of Apecoin DAO: Building opportunities, tools and products around $ape as a currency.
  • Goals of Apecoin DAO: The DAO sees $ape as a currency equivalent to stable coins, a currency that will be the primary currency across virtual worlds, not just otherside. Creating a culture so strong that its used as a primary token cross-community and platforms.

Mission Statement

To empower the growth and development of the APE ecosystem & Web3 culture in a fair and inclusive way.

Explanation

  • Purpose of ApeCoin DAO - The DAO was created to support the development of the APE ecosystem.
  • Goals of ApeCoin DAO - The DAO goals shall be to grow and expend the APE ecosystem & Web3 culture.
  • Sense of direction for ApeCoin DAO - Building alonside the APE ecosystem (technologies) & Web3 culture (art, gaming, entertainment and events)
  • Common set of objectives for the ApeCoin DAO - Making sure the mission statement will always be pursued in a fair and inclusive way.

I feel it’s important to have a mission statement that reflects the core vision our Founders had for the Apecoin DAO and to stay aligned with their values. The proposed mission statement is built from the current values our Founders already provided us. Here are extracts from the About section: ApeCoin for the Web3 Economy

“Culture has found new expression in web3 through art, gaming, entertainment, and events.”

To me, this is the broad definition of the “Web3 culture”.

“The possibilities for blockchain’s impact on culture are so endless that they can’t possibly all be predicted yet. APE is a token made to support what’s next, controlled and built on by the community.”

To me, this mean APE was created to support and push forward the Web3 culture.

“The goal of the APE Foundation is to steward the growth and development of the APE ecosystem in a fair and inclusive way.”

The primary goal of the Apecoin DAO is to build the APE ecosystem and personally, there’s no point to build all this if it is not for everyone and to includes everyone.

The proposed mission statement is short, clear, and self-explanatory as it doesn’t need further explanation when you are reading it. It’s based on the core values of our Founders and will allow us to use the DAO funding to expand the Web3 culture which is essential to the long term success of the APE.

To connect and empower creators and communities who bring web3 culture to life in both the real world and the metaverse.

  • Purpose of ApeCoin DAO
    To connect and empower builders, whether through grants or other means such as working groups.

  • Goals of ApeCoin DAO
    To help bring web3 culture to life in both the real world and the metaverse.

  • Sense of direction for ApeCoin DAO
    The first verb, “to connect,” gives the DAO a clear first direction - to identify and bring together great builders. Every subsequent word of the mission statement - just like everything else we do at the DAO - can only be secondary to that initial, most-important direction.

  • Common set of objectives for the ApeCoin DAO
    The DAO is not here to instruct, assign, or prescribe, only to connect and empower. The mission statement also reminds us that - while we most often meet and communicate in the metaverse - IRL culture and connections are the glue that binds APE community together.
