AIP-396: LFG VENTURES presents: Made by Apes - Powered by ApeCoin

[MisterHype]

Hi @ssp1111,

Thanks for stepping in and providing your insights on the matter.

Your points are well taken, and I appreciate the clarification. It’s interesting to hear about the challenges encountered in reaching out to web3 VC firms - I’m aware of one firm that open web3 fund this year and expressed interest in collaborating with ApeCoin DAO.

Regarding the on-chain AIP status, please note that AIP-387 has been withdrawn and included in AIP-408 GWG budget.

The Governance Working Group has also partnered with UMA to integrate their oSnap protocol for an initiative looking to explore cross-community small grant programs with the objective of extending our ecosystem into non-traditional communities. Additionally, the program will provide support for our current market, covering in-person events, NFT intellectual property propagation, professional service provider costs for ApeCoin-funded ventures, developers looking to build on ApeChain, and seed funding for early ideas.

Considering the potential connections with web3 VCs and the ongoing plans for on-chain initiatives, do you believe that AIP-396 is still relevant for the DAO?

Best,
-Mr. Hype
