PROPOSAL CATEGORY:
Informational Proposal
ABSTRACT:
Immutable X and Kolex have teamed up to celebrate the ApeCoin DAO by minting 100K free NFTs for APE token holders. The mint is a proof-point of layer-2’s scale and security in the wake of the ApeCoin DAO’s decision to stay on Ethereum, which we strongly support. $APE is fully supported on Immutable X’s Layer 2 protocol today, so all NFTs can be priced in $APE!
All secondary market fees and sales of NFTs after the free mint period will be donated to a worthy charity selected by the ApeCoin DAO community.
APE Coin holders who have $APE in their wallet as of 9:00 AM PST Monday, August 1 will be able to claim their pack at 9:00 AM PST Wednesday, August 3rd and the claim period will be 7 days. $APE holders will be able to mint their free NFT at www.apesonl2.com.
MOTIVATION & RATIONALE:
Immutable X is excited to continue building trust with the ApeCoin DAO community and prove why Immutable X should be Yuga’s / Otherside’s trusted Layer 2 Scaling Partner on Ethereum (especially since ApeCoin DAO has voted to remain on Ethereum). This Informational Proposal is a follow-up to Immutable’s “AIP Idea: Immutable X to be ApeCoin DAO’s Trusted Layer 2 Scaling Partner” submission in May 2022.
Immutable X (Ethereum’s Leading Layer 2 scaling solution) has partnered with Kolex, the prominent NFT collectibles platform, to launch this ApeCoin drop. Kolex is behind prominent projects including partnerships with DC Comics and Green Park Sports, and its own brands including Epics.gg, Kolectiv and Cryptees.
Immutable X and Kolex are excited to gift these NFTs to the ApeCoin DAO community, allowing all $APE holders to experience the instantaneous, gas-free minting/trading experience on Immutable X, whilst directly benefiting the $APE token.
