WHREVER, IN A NUTSHELL:

Whrever unifies your favorite apps and services into one gamified platform, turning engagement into rewards with ApeCoin. Shop, stream, and explore seamlessly while driving ApeCoin adoption.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION:

Whrever seeks to redefine e-commerce and entertainment by creating a gamified platform that integrates seamlessly with services users already love. By harmonizing user engagement across platforms like Spotify, Netflix, and online retail, Whrever streamlines experiences, saves users 30% of the time managing apps (TechJury, 2023), and increases satisfaction.

With ApeCoin as a core reward mechanism, we amplify its exposure and utility. Juice Points, Whrever’s native rewards system, will be convertible into ApeCoin, incentivizing engagement. Beta testing will prioritize ApeCoin wallet holders and Yuga Labs IP owners, strengthening early adoption. Moreover, featuring Made by Apes products will spotlight creators while driving adoption. This AIP harnesses data-backed insights to align Whrever with ApeCoin DAO’s mission.

Whrever is represented by Fenwick Law Firm.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:

The integration of ApeCoin into Whrever’s gamified platform amplifies its utility by introducing it as a convertible rewards currency for user engagement. By creating seamless pathways between Juice Points (Whrever’s native rewards) and ApeCoin, we:

1. Increase engagement: 60% of Gen Z prefers gamified e-commerce platforms (Statista, 2024). Integrating ApeCoin into Whrever taps into this demographic’s interests, broadening its appeal.
2. Drive demand: Juice Points convert to ApeCoin, fostering transactions and expanding its utility beyond traditional crypto spaces.
3. Elevate creators: Made by Apes products will benefit from a global audience, with users incentivized to engage via rewards amplifiers.
4. Strengthen the ApeCoin DAO’s mission of fostering innovative applications and decentralized ecosystems.
5. Enhance liquidity and staking opportunities by tying revenue-based contributions to ApeCoin.

ApeCoin wallets and users who own Yuga Labs IP will be prioritized as beta testers for Whrever, fostering early adoption and engagement. Additionally, users engaging with Yuga Labs IP will benefit from award amplifiers, enhancing their rewards for platform participation. Select products from the Made by Apes initiative will be prominently featured and hosted on Whrever, spotlighting creators within the Ape ecosystem.

• ApeCoin Treasury: Dedicated reserves for distributing and staking ApeCoin rewards.

PLATFORMS & TECHNOLOGIES

Whrever’s platform will leverage:

1. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT): Providing secure, transparent transaction capabilities.
2. Juice Points Rewards System: A native currency for gamified engagement, convertible to ApeCoin.
3. ApeCoin Treasury Management: Dual-treasury system to ensure sustainable reward mechanisms.
4. Cross-Platform Integration: Seamlessly harmonizing user interactions across platforms like Spotify, Netflix, and more.

Integration Framework for ApeCoin:

• Conversion System:
  • Users can convert “100” Juice Points into 1 ApeCoin, earned through platform engagement such as:
    • Shopping via Whrever’s partner brands.
    • Participating in group activities (e.g., shopping raids, watch parties).
    • Exploring and interacting with partner services.
• Primary Treasury:
  • Initial reserves of “$50,000” worth of ApeCoin will fund user rewards.
• Secondary Treasury:
  • Sustained through a % of revenue converted to ApeCoin, to replenish the reward pool.
• Staking Strategy:
  • Once the treasury reaches the amount of funds received i.e. $300,000, Whrever will stake % of profits in ApeCoin for x years to bolster liquidity and supplement treasury reserves.
