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.
