Introducing ApeCoinLive: A Weekly Spectacle of Fun and Prizes
Join us every Saturday for ApeCoinLive, a captivating weekly draw and online event where the Web3 community comes together to experience the excitement of the ApeCoin DAO like never before. Hosted by the Wild Ideas Redacted Secret Team (W.I.R.S.T.), ApeCoinLive is your ticket to an evening filled with education, entertainment, and exhilarating draws and awards.
Picture This:
As the virtual curtains rise, audiences worldwide are treated to lively discussions, insights, and insider chatter from the W.I.R.S.T. team and trusted Web3 media hosts as they set the stage for the night’s main event: the ping-pong-bolls.
With bated breath, viewers watch as the ping-pong spherules tumble in the rumbler and the first of five numbers is revealed—a number one. And then, one by one, the orbs are picked and the digits emerge, building anticipation until the final number completes the sequence. And just like that, a winner is revealed and the image of the lucky MAYC PFP graces the screen.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there; it’s rinse and repeat for the BAYC draw, obviously 4 numbers this time, and again confirmations, claim windows, champagne and confetti ends the night with two lucky winners.
(Note: The Accounting firm at PrizeWaddersHousePaupers confirms that the ID has not won before and the champagne pops 
and the confetti drops 
as the winner is given 48 hours to claim their prize).
Why We’re Doing This:
Our mission? To inject some much-needed fun and excitement into the Web3 timeline. We’re here to uplift, engage, and ignite the spirit of the community. The DAO could do with some magic and we’re starting with our beloved Apes who could use a little pick-me-up. They down bad.
What’s the Plan?:
Welcome to the ApeCoinLive Weekly Raffle, a thrilling opportunity for holders of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFTs to vie for incredible prizes. And while we kick things off with BAYC and MAYC, rest assured, we’ve got big plans to expand the ball picker to include Mocas, Moonbirds, and beyond. But remember, patience is key, young Padawan.
The Rewards:
Get ready for some worthwhile awards:
- MAYC Award: $25,000
- BAYC Award: $100,000
(both awards are dripped to the token over 12 months)
The Investment:
With 52 weeks at $125,000 per week, the total investment rings in at a modest $6.5 million—approximately 3 million APE at current prices. And hey, that’s less than what you’d find in a single Coinbase Custodial Wallet that costs the DAO hundreds of thousands in fees!
How It Works:
Here’s the scoop:
- The W.I.R.S.T. team will partner with trusted Web3 influencers to be our media partners who will host the live event and to spread the word and amplify the excitement (think RugRadio, ThreadGuy, etc).
- Winners will have a 48 hour window to claim their Award. Miss the deadline? Oh well, the prize rolls into a separate draw exclusively for ALL ApeCoin holders (now that’s sticky).
- Claiming your prize is as simple as showing up on Spaces or YouTube to share the good news or tweeting about your win. It’s all about ApeCoin flowers and positive exposure to the DAO.
- Once the winners are announced, our trusty Foundation or Watcher of the Wallets steps in to transfer the awards to the winning NFT holders, confirming the transaction (this is called the Machi Rule).
- Most of the process is automated, from the draw to the distribution of drips, with W.I.R.S.T. overseeing key operations.
