Ape Foundation Transparency Report - 2024 - Q1


  • 326 million of $APE were held in treasury
  • 255,060 $APE in accounts payable
  • 59 million $APE reserved for grants

Yup, @furiousanger and I were right. We’re literally out of money.

When I wrote this AIP-505: Improving Funding Allocations To Benefit The DAO I had already done the math.

"The DAO treasury is rapidly declining - alongside the $ape token. At the current rate of spending and with all AIP allocations taken into account thus far, the DAO is expected to no longer be a going concern within a span of 19 months.

Oh, and btw, we barely have $100M left of disposable funds in the treasury. The treasury dashboard doesn’t take into account pre-allocated treasury funds set aside for approved AIPs (e.g. $100M Banana Bill)

In other words, going forward, the DAO needs number to go up. And the only way that can happen is via sustainable revenue generating activities - preferably short-term ones with the 3 - 12 months time frame."

Alongside these:
