@Facilitators @Special_Council I think an update on this is very important, especially given the size of Grant 11million APE.

Also, imho it should be more detailed than say a grant asking for 50k APE.

What are your thoughts?

Hi ApeCoin DAO,

The author of this AIP has not yet provided their required monthly progress report to the community regarding the ongoing status of their proposal’s implementation.

The author has not responded since the passing of this AIP at DAO vote on September 20, 2023. We urge @Machibigbrother to respond in this comment thread with any updates.

The Digital Art Movement (DAM) is a thriving, community-run initiative that continues to grow thanks to the incredible support and contributions from our dedicated community. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has helped us along the way. To date, no salaries or compensation have been distributed, making this a true labor of love driven by our passionate supporters.

We’re excited to announce that staking is transitioning to ApeChain in the near future. Stay tuned for more details! As part of our journey, 3 billion out of the 10 billion DAM tokens have been distributed to ApeCoin stakers, further expanding our community’s reach. The only way to acquire DAM tokens is through staking or via secondary markets, directly benefiting ApeCoin stakers as key participants in this program.

Our art collection continues to grow, showcasing an impressive array of digital masterpieces. On Ethereum, explore our holdings at Magic Eden and OpenSea. We hold 217 BAYC (56 in BendDAO), 20 MAYC, CryptoPunk #1219, Fidenza #229, Ringers, Winds of Yawanawa, Where My Vans Go, Anticyclone, Themes and Variations, Meridian, Chromie Squiggle, The Harvest, Life In Japan Editions, Memories of Qilin, Damien Hirst’s The Currency, QQL Mint Pass, Singularity, and Trichro-matic. On Bitcoin, check out our four Twelvefold pieces at Magic Eden.

We’re also thrilled to share that DAM is in talks with world-class institutions to bring our collection to life through exhibits. Discussions are underway with the Belvedere Museum (via @kodama and
@vincemanguy, LACMA (via @mfigge), MOMA Shanghai (via @BlackApple), MUCA in Munich (via @BlackApple), and Bowers Museum (via @Machibigbrother).

Thank you for being part of this movement as we continue to push the boundaries of digital art. Follow us at https://x.com/DigitalArtMove for the latest updates!
