AIP-374: Healthcare Utility for holders of $APE and BAYC/Otherside NFTs with $APE liquidity sinks 

ABSTRACT

This proposal seeks to create Healthcare Utility for holders of $APE as well as relevant Yuga ecosystem NFTs (BAYC/MAYC/BAKC, Kodas, and Otherdeeds) and bootstrap a web 3 digital health platform that will accept payments in $Ape.

Utility will be in the form of dedicated asynchronous medical advice for all relevant holders using a platform that will take the form of a reddit-meets-medium for healthcare, using a mix of medical Q&A and long-form content articles moderated by verified doctors and health sciences academics for individuals to optimize their personal wellness or enhance their health. The supply-side of this platform (verified doctors and health sciences academics) will be populated at the outset in partnership with a medical clinic registered in Singapore, one of the world’s top health systems. They will provide medical advice to relevant beneficiaries outlined in this proposal to pilot the initial front-end of the product with a gradual increase in their daily clinical hours (as a cost-saving measure proposed by the community during feedback, for the clinical hours to increase in tandem with projected adoption of healthcare utility).

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

This proposal will yield multiple benefits to the $APE coin ecosystem over the course of this 2-year project;

2. Reduced circulating $APE through implementation of liquidity sinks including;

• benefits for $APE holders/stakers to encourage long-term holding, as well as
• a commitment from our team to stake 50% of all our platform profit as apecoin $APE for a minimum of 5-years to keep our platform incentives aligned with that of apecoin DAO.

3. Utility for $APE holders/stakers based on the 3-month average (3MA) amount of $APE held/staked from their wallets - in the form of;
