Implementation Update | AIP-353: Fashion Battle Royale Powered by Apecoin, Web3 Self-Expression Redefined

AIP Name: AIP-353: Fashion Battle Royale Powered by Apecoin, Web3 Self-Expression Redefined

Implementation Status: Pending

Author: @bnv

Abstract Summary: Brand New Vision, a digital fashion ecosystem builder, has recently launched a dapp named ME:ID (id.bnv.me). BNV aims to bring Web3 self-expression at its highest form to the Apecoin ecosystem.

All Apecoin holders will get access to a range of Apecoin gated digital wearables and accessories branded by IPs owned by Yuga Labs in ME:ID which they can use to create personal real time 3D avatars (see example: 001 | ME:ID – Style looks and create your 3D profile) and enter the Fashion Battle Royale powered by Apecoin.

Prize money in Apecoin will be available to attract audiences outside of the ecosystem to encourage them to Ape in. For those who already have strong connections with their digital avatars, this will be a huge opportunity for their digital alter-egos to be seen at a fashion week event in Paris in early 2024.

BNV has previously executed fashion events, activations, catwalk shows and parties during multiple Paris, London and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks.

We believe this will put the spotlight on the fashion relevance of the family of IPs of the Apecoin ecosystem like never before.

Overall Cost: 25,000 $APE to fund the prize pool for the top 3 winning ME:ID profiles
+
$70,000 USD equivalent in $Ape for organising the IRL fashion event in Paris showing off the ME:IDs of the top 8 finalists of the Fashion Battle Royale as well as notable ME:ID avatars from the entire competition.

@Stewards_Metaverse great for you guys to follow up as you are the Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) of this area.

Interview Q&A:

  1. The ApeCoin DAO has posted a few resources on navigating the AIP process, including a series of Discourse posts; based on your experience, are these resources and the website helpful for drafting an AIP?
  • This was handled by our CPO and the process was fine, although it was some time ago.
  1. Have there been any delays or changes to the original timeline?
  • We had hoped to get more support from the Ape community but initial response was limited so we needed to try and build more awareness outside of web3. Hence launching the ASBR through a TG minapp (@BNV_sbr_bot) and building participants (almost 7,000 currently) through id.bnv.me and voters (over 50,000 to date). This meant pushing back the process so instead of initially planning to finalise in September we are just starting.
  1. Do you have any updates regarding the budget?
  • Due to the drop in Apecoin price we have stated we will match the prize pool with our own Fa$h coin (TGE on next 30 days).
  1. How can the community support your initiative?
  • We need the Ape community to actively promote and engage with the ASBR. The voting element is now live on TG @BNV_sbr_bot
  1. Do you have anything you would like to tell the community?
  • Please support an Apecoin supported project designed to specifically raise awareness and bring more people into the Apecoin community.
  1. Do you provide consent to share these questions with the community in this forum?
  • Yes
