Hey Olakojodan,
Thanks for participating and asking your question, Iām sure a few others would like specifics on this as well so hereās the basic tl;dr. There are 7 direct benefits to the ecosystem (that I can think of at the moment), they are as follows:
- Tangible high quality IRL product in the hands of a large amount of apes and apecoin holders
- Massive exposure to mainstream audiences (ads, retail space, user generated content, etc)
- Onboarding ramp for newbies
- Utility for ApeCoin
- Artist involvement and exposure
- BAYC and MAYC licensing deals
- Community wallet
-The first benefit is directly for holders. All holders of a BAYC and MAYC asset are automatically eligible to claim a bottle of Twisted Ape. In addition to that 20k plus $APE holders will also be eligible to claim their bottle as well. Without getting into particular details about the product, it is a tangible irl high end item that members will receive.
-The second benefit is the fact that this item will be distributed, sold, marketed, and advertised on a global scale to mainstream audiences. The fact that it is Made By Apes and Powered By ApeCoin is a major feature of the product that will be represented and highlighted prominently on the product packaging. This will bring an insurmountable amount of attention and direct impressions to the ecosystem.
-The third benefit works in concert with the second. All our product packaging will include blatant displays of our products origins. This includes:
- An Ape front and center on the label and packing boxes.
- QR codes that lead to our website which will provide education on BAYC, MAYC, Yuga labs, and most importantly ApeCoin with a price ticker along and direct links to buy.
- If granted permission, the ApeCoin logo will be etched onto our bottle. This will give exposure to ApeCoin and will provide a topic of conversation for those indulging among friends and family.
-The fourth benefit is creating a solid utility for $APE. Twisted Ape will be available for purchase on our website, and the only payment method will be ApeCoin. This means that anyone wanting to buy a bottle will need to either be holding ApeCoin or need to purchase some. In both scenarios our site creates a center of commerce where premium tangible irl goods are exchanged for ApeCoin. Very few coins have actual purchasing power outside of the crypto ecosystem, this feature alone sets ApeCoin apart from the herd of cryptocurrency tokens that exist.
-The fifth benefit is our artistic packaging design inclusion program. Our outer packaging box will include the creative artistic expressions from numerous digital artists from all around the ecosystem. This box will serve as a canvas for them and the finished product will become a platform for them to share their work with audiences all over the world that may otherwise never be exposed to their creative work.
-The sixth benefit is directly for BAYC and MAYC asset holders. We will be partnering with several apes and entering into licensing agreements to place their apes on bottles of Twisted Ape. This will generate revenue for all partners from all Twisted Ape product sales generated not only from our website and from the ecosystem, but also from mainstream sales made at retail worldwide!
-The seventh and last benefit works in tandem with the sixth, and benefits all members. We will be creating a wallet that will collect 5% of all profits made from all sales of Twisted Ape products. Funds will be deposited directly into this multisig wallet, and members will get to decide not only who the signers of the wallet will be, but most importantly will also decide the fate of what the proceeds get spent on.
We read over and reviewed dozens of previous proposals (both accepted and rejected) in preparation of drafting this proposal. IMHO, to date, there hasnāt been any one proposal that combines this many collective benefits to the ecosystem.
We worked really hard putting this together and making sure we could provide the most possible tangible value to ApeCoin, the community, and the ecosystem as a whole.
TBH, I low key hope this proposal raises the bar and projects a new vision as to whatās possible for all future proposals presented to the community.
