PROPOSAL NAME
ApeCoin DAO Governed GameFi Smart Contract Wallet
PROPOSAL CATEGORY
Ecosystem Fund Allocation
ABSTRACT
This AIP aims to build Apecoin DAO smart contract Wallets for GameFi NFts and establish a Lend assets & rewarding vault for the Game community.
Apecoin DAO Wallets wanted to implement active user engagement in a Game community by enabling GameFi Segment with the DAO and smart contract Wallets. With the rise of NFT-based P2E games, it’s crucial to build a community-driven ecosystem for NFT assets management in order to effectively rotate the assets among the active community members to Maximize the NFT DEFI potential.
DAO wallets are structured to exclusively enable active wallets to retain assets for continued participation in the game. On inactivity, The DAO will conduct votes on idle assets to withdraw them from the member wallet into the assets vault, reallocating them to other members. This approach increases NFT scarcity and price in the market which will eventually attract more buyers and investment in the DAO-driven community. Furthermore, the DAO will offer incentives to participating voters, creating a constructive cycle of engagement.
All the DAO processes will run on a predefined set of rules to streamline community governance. Seamless management of NFT assets through the DAO platform sustains the blockchain-based games ecosystem.
Background
This AIP is entirely designed and will be developed by 99Starz Development team

MOTIVATION
Participation: The APE DAO wallet aims to enhance engagement among active users within a GameFi community by integrating NFT assets with DAO and smart contract wallets.
Ownership: With the rise of NFT-based Play-to-Earn (P2E) games, it’s important to establish a community-driven ecosystem for managing NFT assets. This facilitates the active rotation of assets among engaged community members, maximizing the potential of NFT DeFi.
DeFi: The DAO wallet system focuses on allowing active participants to retain assets. In cases of inactivity, the DAO conducts votes to move idle assets from member wallets to an assets vault, reallocating them to other members. This approach enhances NFT scarcity and market prices, attracting more interest and investment in the community to get the collection listed in the Apecoin DAO vault.
DAO Structure: The DAO operates with a structured framework, enabling it to empower active wallets exclusively. Votes are conducted to withdraw assets from idle members. The predefined rules govern the entire process, facilitating streamlined community governance.
NFT Assets Potential: Within the proposed framework, NFTs will consistently remain stored within the smart contract wallet. When users engage in gameplay using these accounts, they will continuously accumulate rewards from the game.
Rewards: These accumulated rewards are subsequently slated for distribution among both DAO participants and the operator (the NFT holder). This distribution will be executed in the form of APECOIN. To effectuate this, the earned game ERC20 tokens will be subjected to a swapping process, ultimately converting them into APECOIN. This strategy ensures that participants within the DAO ecosystem, as well as the NFT operator, are rewarded proportionately and efficiently, fostering a dynamic and incentivized environment for engagement and collaboration.
RATIONALE
The project aligns with Ape values through its integration of different gamefi NFT collections, strategic management of NFT assets to amplify Apecoin’s value, and exploration of innovative GameFi dimensions. This alignment highlights Ape’s commitment to interconnectivity within the web3 and Ape ecosystem, driving financial growth by creating scarcity-driven market dynamics for APE$ and integrated NFT collection giving benefits to NFT collection along side ApeCoin, Exploring new areas like NFT-based P2E games. These efforts collectively embody the essence of interoperability, DEFI vibrancy.
BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM
-
Add more value to the ApeDAO (and subDAOs) by adding the lending and gaming structure features
-
Bring in the ApeDAO a new fair business model
-
Increase the organic participation in the ApeDAO and subDAOs
-
Bring in new members to the ape community and effectively grow the community
-
Enable a safe and fair lending system to “put at work” all NFTs, thus increasing their use cases, value and market dynamics
-
Attract more players to the Ape-related games through the ApeDAOs and large investors and guilds
-
Make the ApeCoin ecosystem in general more guild friendly; large investors and guilds would feel more motivated on investing in Ape-related NFTs and projects and bringing their network into the action
KEY TERMS
DAO Contracts - Access Control: Smart contract responsible for managing access permissions and roles within the DAO system, enabling controlled access to the Assets Vault for authorized users.Managing Voting Qorum for State changes.
Assets Vault: A secure assets interface holder smart contract dedicated to storing and managing NFTs and asset tokens. Accessed through the Access Control contract, it allows the DAO to efficiently allocate, redistribute, and conduct asset-related operations based on community governance.
DEX Injection: This integration with the DAO contract serves the purpose of facilitating the exchange process for earned coins, converting them into APECOIN within the ecosystem. As users accumulate rewards through gameplay, these earned coins will undergo a swapping mechanism orchestrated by the DEX contracts. This process will enable the seamless conversion of the game’s native ERC20 tokens into APECOIN, the designated utility token.
Wallet Contracts: Smart contracts that serve as an interface between user wallets and the DAO ecosystem, facilitating interactions such as voting, participation, and asset Holding for Gamefi interaction.
Injected Provider Compatibility: Integration of web3.js or similar injected providers to ensure seamless compatibility between Wallet Contracts and the DAO platform, enabling users to engage with Games.
SPECIFICATIONS
Creating DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) contracts using Solidity that allow for decentralized decision-making within a community. These contracts enable voting, proposal creation, and fund allocation based on community consensus. DAOs can enhance governance and engagement within decentralized systems.
Integrating UNISWAP V2 routers With DAO. This integration would enable DAO to seamlessly swap tokens for Rewards earned from the utilizing collection NFTs.
Wallet smart contracts refers to creating programmable wallets with added functionalities. Asset holder interfaces involve functionalities for users to interact with their assets through the smart contract. This could include actions like transferring, swapping, or interacting with DAO protocols directly from the wallet.
Integrating GameFi wallet provider implies incorporating smart contract wallets that cater to the needs of the GameFi ecosystem. These wallets have features specific to Utilizing NFTs , generating signatures and voting in DAO for managing in-game assets, NFTs, or tokens associated with specific games.
