What?
Ape Wireless - A free, secure, and private wireless network exclusively for Ape owners, running on a wallet with mesh networking.
How?
Write and deliver a feasibility report for Ape Wireless via a second proposal 14 days from the approval of this proposal. A modified version of the ōRouter will be made specifically for the Ape community (Overline | ōRouter).

Why two proposals?
The first confirms initial interest of the Ape community, while the second long-form document would include the final costs, what should be required to hold to be considered an “APE” who can use the network, delivery timeline, and feedback received from the Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/ocash/comments/118ibmj/ape_wireless_a_free_secure_and_private_wireless/)
Why?
If you are a high-net worth individual, most of your services are non-public. A private chef, private car, or private resort. However, almost every single high-net worth web3 individual uses the public internet to interact with their high value digital assets.
Furthermore, concerns over the privacy and security of the internet have grown wildly with the increased number of cyber attacks and thefts of digital assets. As such, it has become essential to develop secure and private networks that allow for safe communication and transactions for high-net worth individuals. Ape Wireless is a private wireless network that is built with advanced security and privacy features, creating an environment for its members to exchange messages and trade without fear of unauthorized access, data theft, or interception.
Proposal Objectives
The goal of this proposal is to evaluate interest in the development of Ape Wireless and present a compelling case for subsidizing free hotspots to BAYC/MAYC who have had their asset at one address at a given snapshot date. The success of this proposal comes when:
- This proposal is approved and Overline begins a feasibility report to be submitted with a second proposal in two weeks.
- A second proposal is submitted as a feasibility report including the at-cost of the hardware devices and construction of the network.
The success of the feasibility report would complete the following objectives.
- A. Overline builds modifies its current hardware to provide free unlimited wireless services over a private network exclusively for Ape owners.
- B. Overline builds a custom mobile application and web interface at www.ape.chat (which it currently owns) that allows Apes to chat directly with each other on the Ape Wireless network.
- C. Ape Coin Foundation subsidy of an at-cost hardware hotspot, "The Banana’’ which is managed with iOS/Android phones over Bluetooth using the Ape.chat app.
- D. Ape owners can confidently text, trade, and connect with verified point-in-time owners of BAYC/MAYC/BAKC.
Components
The development of Ape Wireless will involve the following primary components:
- Banana Hotspot: Ape Wireless will run on P2P network hotspots called “Bananas” which are custom versions of Overline’s “# ōRouter” networking device. The Banana is hard coded to work with Ape owners only to use and supports end-to-end encryption.
- Ape.chat App: Ape Wireless will launch on iOS and Android phones through the Ape.chat app built by Overline. Members can download and install the Ape Wireless application on their devices which uses the Banana hotspot, enabling them to connect to the private network and communicate securely.
- Offline Point-In-Time Verification: Ape Wireless maintains a thorough member-verification process which allows the users to confirm real time ownership of an Ape across the network.
Expected Results
The proposed Ape Wireless network is expected to provide the following results:
- Unlimited free wireless network for texts and trades between Apes.
- A safer alternative to the internet for Ape privacy, security, and confidentiality.
- Increased trust among owners and improved owner retention.
Upon Acceptance of Proposal
- Within fourteen days a complete analyses of the hardware costs incorporating any feedback for things like what should be required to get a subsidized device will be posted via a followup proposal officially on www.overline.network/orouter and at Snapshot.
Conclusion
This is a proposed private wireless network that is designed to provide a secure and private environment for Ape owners to exchange messages and trade securely. Owners will have access to a user-friendly interface that supports multiple devices and platforms. Ape Wireless aims to add value to the entire Ape community and set the standard for privacy and confidentiality among all high-net worth communities even beyond digital assets.
