PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION:

APE TO THE MOON Platform:
It is a gaming platform designed to bring new excitement and earning potential to the ApeCoin ecosystem. It offers users a unique opportunity to participate in entertaining, provably fair gameplay with a low entry threshold, and the chance to win substantial rewards daily and weekly.

We accept any game for release on the APE TO THE MOON platform, with an entry fee of USD 50,000. The fee is paid in $ApeCoin staking, and will be refunded to the game developer when the game leaves the APE TO THE MOON platform. We charge 20% of the profits from each game.

The first game we are launching is a rocket crash gambling WebApp game named APE TO THE MOON (ATTM). ATTM is a type of gambling game. The game mechanics are very simple: after placing a bet, players watch a rocket ascend on an exponential graph. As the rocket rises, the payout multiplier increases. The player’s goal is to cash out before the rocket “crashes” to secure the current multiplier. If the rocket crashes before the player cashes out, they will lose their bet.

1. High Player Engagement

ATTM is designed to be simple, fast, and exciting, making it highly addictive for players. Since each round is very short, players can quickly participate and keep trying again, which enhances the game’s stickiness and generates a high frequency of transactions. For the platform, this means a stable source of revenue.

2. Low Operating Costs

The development and operation costs of ATTM are relatively low. The game is simple, requiring no complex art design or mechanics, and its blockchain-based system reduces the need for third-party payment processing fees. This low-cost, high-reward business model is very attractive to investors.

3. Payment Methods
The Ape to the Moon platform supports crypto payments only (ApeCoin, USDT, USDC).

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:

1. Increase Use of ApeCoin

The Ape to the Moon platform uses ApeCoin & USDT as the betting currencies, attracting individuals who enjoy high-risk, high-reward ventures.

2. High Profit Potential

The Ape to the Moon platform is naturally designed with a “house edge,” enabling the platform to generate long-term profits. As the number of players increases, the platform’s revenue continues to grow without requiring significant additional operational resources. ApeCoin DAO receives 20% of the platform’s net profits.

In the current state, i’m not convinced of benefits for Apecoin ecosystem and community

1. Increase Use of ApeCoin
How does it increase use of apecoins ? Gamblers can already bet with apecoin on established online casinos, why would they rather spend on ATTM ? How would you attract them ?

2. High Profit Potential
Gambling games revenues are marginals and rely on RTP rate (avg 90%) and big volumes
Quick math for a 244K$ return to DAO with 90% rtp in ATTM : 12M$ have to be spent by players.

Let’s assume you also generate revenue through 50K$ games entry fee to access platform (wich is not included in your High profit potenial section). 24 games needed

Let’s consider you generate revenues equally from those two sources
6M$ wager on ATTM
12 third party games to be registered

i’d reco to produce a revenue forecast and go to market startegy to (in)validate potenial benefits to apecoin ecosystem

PS : i 've been more than fair considering 90% rtp on Crash like game in quick math, it susually 95% or more

Wondering who are the team?

hi @NFape ,

Thank you for raising these concerns. We will conduct an in-depth analysis and discussion based on your suggestions, which are indeed points we’ve been considering. In response to your questions, here are our replies:

While some existing online casinos accept ApeCoin as a betting currency, our **Ape To The Moon platform is focused specifically on the ApeCoin ecosystem, offering a different experience from traditional gambling platforms. By returning a portion of the profits to ApeCoin DAO, we not only increase ApeCoin usage but also drive the development of its ecosystem. Additionally, the $50K game entry fee staking helps stabilize ApeCoin.

We fully acknowledge your insights regarding RTP (Return to Player) and the gambling revenue model. Mathematically, a $244K return to the DAO indeed requires approximately $12M in player wagers. However, our goal is not limited to just one game, ATTM. We plan to attract multiple game developers to the platform, charging 20% of the profits from each game. As more games join, platform profitability will naturally increase.

While 90% RTP is standard for most gambling games, our platform design will introduce different RTPs across various games, tailored to player preferences and risk tolerance. We will also implement robust marketing strategies to attract more players to the platform, offering substantial rewards to boost user growth and achieve our profit goals.

Our market strategy and revenue forecasts will be adjusted as needed based on real-world conditions. We will also take your suggestions into account to further refine our plan, ensuring a positive impact on the ApeCoin ecosystem and DAO. In the future, we will release detailed market data and revenue forecasts so that the community can clearly understand the actual benefits the project brings.

Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback. We will continue to optimize and improve the project.

Regards
