AIP-322: ApeCoin Papercraft

Hi @Ape_PaperCraft,

Thank you for your ideas [and the ApeCoin DAO community for the insightful discussions]. A moderator will reach out to the author to finalize the AIP Draft using the appropriate template. In accordance with DAO-approved guidelines, if the author doesn’t respond within 30 days, the proposal will be automatically transferred to the Withdrawn category, and the author can re-submit the idea. Once the AIP is Drafted and meets all DAO-approved guidelines, it will be published on Snapshot for the official live voting phase at: Snapshot.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,

@Ape_PaperCraft has responded to our questions and has provided consent to share them in this forum for the community.

1. Is the Ape Foundation expected to engage in any of the steps of the AIP implementation? If so, please specify the steps and elaborate on how it is expected to work.

The Ape Foundation can offer assistance in two ways, provided they align with your preferences:

1- Physical Distribution at Face-to-Face Conferences: Ape Foundation can receive all physical copies for distribution during in-person conferences. Attendees can obtain a papercraft as a form of merchandise at these events. That’s our preference.

2- Distribution with a Special Focus: If the above option is not feasible, we propose an alternative approach. Instead of a first-come, first-served online giveaway, we suggest considering it as a token of appreciation for those community members actively engaged in the DAO, consistently providing feedback month after month.

2. a.) How do you plan to distribute the digital version of the product?

The digital version of the papercraft can be distributed through two distinct channels:

1- Dedicated Website: We can establish a dedicated website where users can easily access and download the digital papercraft file.

2- Social Media: We can leverage social media platforms, via an X account, to notify both current Ape members and those who have not yet joined the Ape community about the availability of the file. The file can be hosted on platforms such as Google Drive or IPFS for accessibility. Furthermore, we will implement engagement strategies to maximize outreach and ensure that the file reaches as many people as possible. We believe this approach offers the optimal solution for distribution.

b.) Will you be requiring holders to connect to a particular platform to claim, and if so what app will you be using?

No.

c.) What are the plans for security audits of the platform?

No need as we will not require this connection.

3. a.) How do you plan to distribute the physical version of the product?

This has already been addressed in the first question.

b.) Will you require users to provide any personal information during the claim of the physical version?

Face to face is not required. Online distribution will require personal information to send the package.

c.) If personal information is collected, how will this information be secured?

Limited Access: Only us (Gemma and Marc) will have access to the collected personal information. This restricted access minimizes the potential for unauthorized access or data breaches.

Data Deletion: Once the collected personal information has served its purpose (e.g., for product delivery), it will be promptly and securely deleted. This deletion process will be thorough to ensure that no residual copies of the data remain.

4. You’ve modified your original proposal’s Overall Cost to reflect the change in the price of $APE since your original submission. Will you require a specific dollar amount of $APE to be paid when the grant is issued?

We think that the first amount 39991,85$= 7398,15$ is a fair compensation.*

5. Would your expectation be to keep complete ownership of content produced from this proposal?

We agree to grant the DAO complete ownership of the digital papercraft. However, we request that the DAO respects the following terms:

1- Limitation on Commercial Use: we think that other than the DAO no one should have the commercial rights to sell the digital papercraft.

2- Collaboration for Future Editions: In the event that a second edition of the physical papercraft is considered, we express our willingness to collaborate with the DAO.

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

Yes.

A DAR package is being worked on and upon completion this AIP will move into Administrative Review. Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments.

Kind Regards,

We want to fully recreate the ape skull that’s why we will be using papercraft. Step by step instructions will be made to make it as easy to assemble as possible.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,

@Ape_PaperCraft has responded to our questions and has provided consent to share them in this forum for the community.

1. The Ape Foundation cannot take custody of the physical models, nor does it bear the responsibility of distributing them. If you intend to proceed with the physical models, please indicate how you will be adjusting your proposal to assume the responsibilities of physical distribution or a criteria and process for distributing the models to DAO members for later distribution.

We believe it’s important to offer a nicely packed physical, precut, and prefold edition. It’s a significant undertaking as it involves testing the right materials and producing everything using a Silhouette machine. However, we are in agreement that a premium edition is necessary. We believe that the community will appreciate it, and it serves as evidence that engaging and enjoyable projects can be accomplished using treasury funds.

We can manage the distribution of the papercrafts within the community. However, sending out 100 individual international packages is significantly more expensive than a single bulk delivery, and this substantial increase in cost poses a challenge for our limited budget. We think that $15 per package will cover the expenses, implying a $1500 higher cost for the proposal. If we subtract the initial $100 we thought would be enough, the correct calculation would be $1500 - $100, which equals $1400 in additional expenses. If those expenses are lower we can return the excess funds to the DAO. We also can share all the invoices.

We would like to offer those papercrafts to the future winners of the Apecoin badge “New users of the month,” as well as retroactively to benefit the users who already won the badge.

2. With respect to digital models, please provide the website URL and X account handle(s) you plan to use for digital file distribution.

We will use the X account “@apepapercraft” and we will create a linktree account also with easy download links.

3. Could you please clarify whether the images included in the proposal are initial renderings and not the final designs? The images appear to depict a skull modeled after the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) skull logo, which is part of the ApeCoin logo but does not constitute the entire ApeCoin logo, including the approved blue color and the logo on the token.

We start by making the initial model in Blender. Then, we use Pepakura software to develop the papercraft. We’ll use the logo’s blue color in both the digital and physical design, including instructions and a ‘Welcome on board’ guide for Apecoin. The model we presented is the basis for creating the 3D papercraft. Everything will follow a coherent design sense and will be aligned with the aesthetics of the Apecoin brand.

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

Sure!

Why pick this category? Many like over 90% or accounts are inactive, like I was but it they engage again they don’t qualify?

I don’t think it is a particularly useful badge by itself, other metrics count. Perhaps make a formula based on a combination of badges and/or metrics.

Hi, bigbull, you are right: everyone should have the opportunity to qualify. We clearly misinterpreted the badge criteria. We will review the requirements to ensure fairness and make the necessary corrections. Thanks!

Love the concept of “Build your own” I just hope the quality matches the brand.

Would be good to see a physical mockup design, and like most, if I were to win one of these, it would be put in my office, unfortunately it wouldn’t be displayed out in public, so I’m unsure how it’s going to create brand awareness with such a limited supply and zero marketing.

I’d happily purchase one from your website though. :+1:t4:

best of luck.

Hey, there will be a Digital Version available for everyone and the physical one is to promote DAO engagement.

This proposal is live for vote on Snapshot. The voting period closes next Wednesday at 9PM EST.

The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimize for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP. Any material deviations from an AIP, as initially approved, will be disclosed to the APE holder community.

Thanks to everyone who has supported our proposal. Your support means a lot to us and it motivates us to put in our best efforts to ensure that it is well-executed and enjoyable. If this proposal is approved, you can be assured that we will work diligently to make it a reality and a truly fun experience for all.

Can you use the function so it puts it in local time automatically.

We hoped that the work and joy we put into assembly this proposal would get better results. We really think we could do a nice job here. If someone wants to rethink his vote, you still have time :slight_smile: !
