AIP-243: The Ape Inn - EthGlobal Project
I am a Software Engineer who is passionate about web3 and thrives on creating pixel-perfect software applications. I have a keen eye for detail and enjoy working in a frontend role, building and refining user interfaces and solving UI & UX problems.
My experience extends to full-stack development where I have worked on a fair share of web applications. I have experience in managing teams, worked in business and data analytics roles in the IT sector for over ten years professionally.
I am an active member of the ApeCoin DAO.
Motivation
APE is a token made to support what’s next and web3 gaming is getting ready to onboard the next wave of web2 users.
This AIP serves to facilitate the building and operation of the ApeCoin Arenas which will again, secure ApeCoin as the web3 gaming token of the future.
The first ApeCoin Arena will be created for the Wreck League game which recently launched. The WL ApeCoin Arena will host various Wreck League tournaments and events whereby different NFT communities can battle it out for honour and glory in their Wreck Mechs. NFTs and ApeCoin prizes will be given for tournaments and events.
The Second ApeCoin Powered Arena will be built in Otherside and can host various events including games, NFTeams sports leagues, music events, concerts, art displays, festivals, @ETHGlobal hackathons and so much more.
We have some excellent talent like @jackie and @day25 in the community who are already building in this direction, this proposal would align our efforts and collaborate to create an amazing attraction for web2 and web3 users alike.
The ApeCoin Arena should be owned and run by the ApeCoin DAO with a dedicated team of artists, designers, developers and project manager from the community.
Rationale
We need to continue to grow the ApeCoin ecosystem and build into the future.
The aim is to create something unique in the MetaVerse that is proudly Powered by ApeCoin.
Apes will be utilised in storytelling, promotions and marketing of the ApeCoin Sports Team.
We aim to create the Ape Sporting Champions of the web3 world. Apes will be modeled for playing in the Arenas and we can go as far as making team jerseys and IRL merchandise to match.
Apes will also serve as a funding tool in the project and will support future developments in the project and the web3 gaming and MetaVerse space.
Benefit to ApeCoin Ecosystem
We aim to create something truly special for ApeCoin in the MetaVerse that would increase uses cases for ApeCoin and will also showcase the ApeCoin DAO’s web3 vision and goals as we build into the future of web3 gaming and the MetaVerse.

Timeline
The project will be an ongoing collaboration between various parties building in the ApeCoin DAO.
Once we are able to get our Wreck League Arena NFT, we will begin work on customising it to our needs. We can begin hosting different tournaments within 2 to 3 months.
Once the Wreck League Arena is up and running, focus will shift to building the Otherside ApeCoin Arena. A prime deed will be acquired in Otherside for the arena.
The funding and staking will allow the project to continue growing and support further developments as we build into the MetaVerse and whats still to come.
Overall Cost
$1 million USD or equivalent in ApeCoin which will be used to acquire 15 Ape NFTs to create the ApeCoin Sports team that will be used in storytelling, marketing and promotions. The Otherside deeds and Wreck League Arena NFTs will also be bought with this part of the budget.
151 410 ApeCoin will be required to max stake against the 15 BAYC Ape NFTs.
1, 000, 000.00 ApeCoin will be staked alone in the Horizen Labs Staking Contract
Combined this will give us an approximate monthly budget to fund the project and the team
33,385.9644 ApeCoin or
$42,265.0697 USD
