Thank you so much for your reply. Asia Web3 Alliance Japan is the first Japanese entity to support international Web3 projects in Japan. Through this platform, our board members and members can directly engage with the Government Web3 Promotions Department to promote NFTs and IP, which are among our key agendas.

We’ve already discussed the IP plans with over 12 city offices. Currently, we’re in the phase of nominating board members and finalizing our plans. We intend to take the initiative as soon as we receive confirmation from your side.

I wanted to better understand how the project would bring more members and knowledge of web3 to new members joining the apecoinDAO community, it would be more to promote the brand, right?
Would you place any emphasis on the $APE token or just the BAYC/MAYC NFTs?

Certainly, the Asia Web3 Alliance Japan is dedicated to fostering a dynamic environment that encourages the growth and integration of the web3 ecosystem, including the ApeCoinDAO community.

By facilitating collaborations, providing educational resources, and promoting industry events, we aim to expand the understanding and adoption of web3 technologies among new members. Additionally, while we recognize the value of tokens like $APE, our efforts extend beyond specific tokens to embrace the broader spectrum of web3 innovations, including the exciting world of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFTs.

Hi, @Hinza!

That is a very great proposal. The idea of connecting Ape DAO with the Asian region is really perspective. Also, I loved the deliverables.

But can You please clarify some of the benefits/deliverables with numbers/key metrics to understand in the correct way? Because the only numbers I saw were costs for APE DAO. To grant Your requested fund allocation, in my opinion, we have to know exactly how You’ll manage it.

Dear @loowl ,
Thanks for your positive feedback on our proposal. I’m thrilled to see your excitement for our project. Let me break down the benefits and deliverables with some numbers and key points in a straightforward way:

1. Expanding into New Markets: By December 2023, we’re looking to partner up with local authorities in multiple Japanese regions. We’re aiming to connect Ape DAO with at least 8 different regions, each with its unique opportunities.

2. Integrating with IP Content: We’re actively working on getting ApeCoin into Japan’s IP content scene. As soon as we secure the grant, this integration begins and opens up doors for similar moves across Asia.

3. Strengthening Our Presence: We’ve got a solid plan to beef up ApeCoin’s presence in Japan’s blockchain world. We’ll be working closely with 20 key blockchain players.

4. Growing Our Community: In 2024, our goal is to welcome at least 5,000 new ApeCoin community members in Japan and other Asian countries.

5. Impactful Board Member Meeting: Our board member meetup in February 2024 is set to gather 56 influential individuals, including government folks. This meeting will be a game-changer for ApeCoin’s recognition and influence in Asia.

These numbers and key points lay out how we’ll make the best use of the funds you allocate. Your support is important, and we’re all in to make this partnership a success.

If you’ve got more questions or need extra details, feel free to ask. We really appreciate your involvement in our project.

Damn, this detail is something we want to hear here. Sounds very promising. Have You already had some sort of plan or direction of it for this meeting?

But I still hesitate about the costs part. 250 000 $, as for me, is quite expensive.

Also, what plans do You have for maintaining this connection? Will You need some more funds allocation in a while? Or once launched and funds granted You’ll operate all by Yourself?
