Implementation Status: Pending
Implementation Date: N/A
Author: @King_G5
Proposal Description: Decentralized Drinks Paris is an exciting new weekly event at Le G Five Bar in Paris, designed to blend the worlds of cryptocurrency and social networking. After the overwhelming success of our monthly meet-ups, we are expanding to a weekly format to further engage the crypto community.
To amplify our event’s presence we will proudly display “Powered by ApeCoin” on all our physical and digital supports, including flyers, banners, social media posts, and event tickets.
We’re partnering with the MBA community to spotlight their products and innovations at our events. Together, we’ll craft a vibrant and engaging atmosphere, making “Decentralized Drinks” the must-visit hub for all Apes living in or passing through Paris.
Attendees can expect:
Crypto-Themed Cocktails: inspired by popular cryptocurrencies.
Exclusive Happy Hour Deals: to enhance the experience.
Degen Talks: featuring lively discussions led by industry experts.
Showcase of Made by Apes Projects: highlighting innovative products and ideas from the community.
Future POAP on ApeChain
Past Collaborations & Featured Products:
Mutant Beer: Premium Craft Beer Made by Apes 00054, now a staple at our bar.
Le Crypto Daily, Proof of French, Domino Podcast, Defit, NFT France, Oxya Origin, Alphaverse, Forbes France
Events Co-Hosted with the community:
90’s Banana : during NFT Paris 2024: A nostalgic event blending crypto culture with 90s themes by @BananaconfXYZ With The Nizzar, Sander the Ape.
Degens in Paris: during NFT Paris 2024 With F*ck it Productions and the Mutant Cartel.

Flexible Offer for ApeCoin, BAYC, and MAYC Holders:
- Free Drink on Event Days: Holders of ApeCoin, BAYC, or MAYC can enjoy a free drink during our “Decentralized Drinks” events every Wednesday. We will verify ownership using TokenProof, and will not require any connections to the blockchain to enter the events.
- Discounts on Non-Event Days: On days when there isn’t a scheduled event, we will offer a 15% discount on all classic drinks to anyone holding ApeCoin, BAYC, or MAYC.
Additionally, we plan to implement a Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) system during our events. This will allow us to track attendance and gather valuable data on the beverages offered, which will be monitored through our till system. This approach ensures transparency and provides insights into customer engagement, helping us optimize our offerings and the overall experience. We will only collect essential data necessary for the functioning of our service (email, X accounts, Addresses for POAP, etc.).
This event is not just a gathering; it’s a movement to connect, educate, and celebrate the ever-growing crypto ecosystem in a vibrant and inclusive environment.
Overall Cost: €30,200, paid in ApeCoin

Interview Q&A:
Interview: 1/31/2025
The Facilitators conducted a follow-up interview on Jan 24, 2025, and the author responded on Jan 31, 2025 with the following responses:
1. Do you have any reports or updates you would like to share with the community?
We have successfully received DAO funds. However, the implementation took some time due to the KYB process, which required us to translate all official documents from French to English. This step was essential to ensure compliance and smooth fund access.
2. How can the community support your initiative?
A huge thank you to @LogicallyCrypto, who played a crucial role in ensuring everything proceeded smoothly. The community can continue to support us by spreading awareness and engaging with our initiative to help strengthen decentralized IRL experiences.
3. Have there been any delays or changes to the original timeline?
While most aspects of the initiative are proceeding as planned, there has been a delay in getting our neon sign ready in time for NFT Paris. Despite this, the rest of our plans remain on schedule.
4. What are you working to accomplish before the end of the month?
By the end of the month, we expect to receive our goodies, which will contribute to further engaging and growing the community.
5. Do you have any updates regarding the budget?
Due to market changes, the actual budget received was lower than initially projected. However, we are committed to maintaining the initiative’s core goals and delivering value despite these adjustments.
6. Do you provide consent to share these questions with the community in this forum?
Yes, I provide consent and hope that every Ape reads about this initiative. We encourage all community members to support decentralized drinks and help foster more IRL meetups in the future.
