INTRO WAFFLE:
Good morning, Psych here from DFZ Labs, happy to be here and finally getting involved with APECOIN in a meaningful way. I’m not a fan of long winded text so I’ve formatted our initial proposal here as concisely as possible. I’ll be responsive here for any questions you have.

|
TLDR:
COLDLINK can link APES to anything in the world & that should be powered by APECOIN.
Make Web3 fun again by enabling exploration into all sorts of weird cool sh*t with zero risk.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION:

Coldlink.xyz is a new method (patent pending) of safely verifying on-chain assets & on-chain history in any location.

Utility:

  • Safely link APE ownership to any MBA app, dapp, location or event.
  • Safely link APECOIN ownership to any MBA app, dapp, location or event.
    |
  • Broker APE relationships with web2 companies without them needing web3 infra.
  • Broker APECOIN relationships with web2 companies without them needing web3 infra.
    |
  • Safely reward on-chain history for holdings in cold locations eg. time held.
  • Safely reward the highest 1% tiers of APECOIN ownership with zero risk.
    |
  • Coldlink Yuga/Ape/APECHAIN assets to any Cross-chain L1/L2/L3 Address
  • Coldlink Yuga/Ape/APECHAIN assets to a Username
  • Coldlink Yuga/Ape/APECHAIN assets to an Email
  • Coldlink Yuga/Ape/APECHAIN assets to a Burner Address

STEPS TO IMPLEMENT:

Start Date: Upon AIP approval.
End Date: Finish implementation 10-14 business days post approval.

Begin development upon approval.
Upon completion, post to the forum, evaluate & implement relevant feedback. (&/or foundation feedback)
Push live. (yay)

(cont. live ops) Team will continually enable all endpoint rollouts available for the general coldlink.xyz application for the APECOIN implementation as they are deployed.

Service will remain active for a minimum of 24 months with live ops.

|
Current endpoints are: ETH SOL ADA XRP TAPROOT
Next phase of endpoints: DISCORD ID, STEAM ID, TELEGRAM ID

|

REPORTING EXPECTATIONS:

  • We will alert the community to new endpoints for APECOIN via the forum & coldlink socials once per month.

Love the product, and the execution so far.

I just would love to see, a more detailed break down on the 50k ask. Sounds like a lot, when most of the work has already been done / it’s EVM compatible and doesn’t require a smart contract being deployed on ApeChain.

Hi @Allo

Thanks for the kind words.

For sure, firstly it’s 50K $APE, so $25k at current market rates and keep in mind we give 20% of linking proceeds back to the foundation. :slight_smile:

The budget allocations are split evenly across four main workloads:
25%: Unique ApeChain Portal URL & ApeChain/ApeCoin Implementation
25%: Apechain/Apecoin Implementation Specific Auditing, 50/50 split for a re-up in 12 months.
25%: Endpoint Library Live Service Updates & Unique MBA Endpoints (24+ Months)
25%: Portal Live Service & Upkeep (24+ Months)

TLDR: The budget covers implementation and active upkeep/updates. Past the 2 year mark we’ll be well past the application’s infancy and will keep it live via self generated revenue, assuming decent uptake from ApeChain users, the foundation may also be well into profit by that point.

To clarify around your point about EVM compatibility, you are correct in terms of the ETH L1 implementation that is live, however Apechain is layer 3 and it’s own beast, mostly due to us adding the unique process of using APECOIN itself as the linking fee for verification. This requires a process of adding brand new functionality we haven’t made available in the core application.

I hope that clarifies the workload & budgeting, happy to dig deeper if needed o7
