- In response to question 4 in the previous round of questions you mention, “minimum amount of $APE tokens (to be specified) to participate”, however, your proposal specifies 1 $APE = entry to conference and party, 1000 $APE staked = 1 hotel room based on a first come first served basis. Would you like to update your proposal or amend your answer?
Clarification on Participation Criteria:
Yes, I’d like to update my previous response. The proposal indeed specifies 1 $APE = entry to the conference and party, while 1000 $APE staked = 1 hotel room on a first come, first served basis. This correction will ensure consistency in communication about the entry and accommodation conditions for the event.
