AIP-319: Create the Sporting League of the Otherside (NFTeams) + 5,000 free 3D Player Mint

ABSTRACT

NFTeams has been building out its ecosystem for the past 2 years. We have built an entire sporting ecosystem (Teams, Jerseys, and now Players) and are ready to mint the players and start on the game.

This proposal’s main aims are:

1. Make NFTeams the Sporting League of Otherside
2. Move NFTeams to an Apecoin Standard
3. Give 5,000 Player NFTs to $APE and BAYC ecosystem (free mint)

This proposal aims to move the NFTeams ecosystem to an Apecoin standard, while also giving 5,000 Player NFTs as a free mint to $APEcoin and BAYC ecosystem holders (via mini-games)

The goal of NFTeams is to create the sporting leagues of the Otherside. We have already created 10,000 teams and jerseys and given away over $200,000 USD in prizes.

Our next step is to release our 10,000 Players that will compete in games each day.

This promo video will give a good idea of what we want to eventually have running in Otherside.





BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

• Bring in 500-1000 new $APE holders from the current NFTeams ecosystem
• Potential for new $APE holders who want to win a free Player NFT
• Show a use case for $APE (prize money, player training, tournament entry)
• New content for Otherside (Sporting events, Player backstories)
• Use case for Otherdeeds (sporting stadiums)(Sporting equipment made from resources)
• Always on worldwide sport (running 24/7)
• Showing other projects how to move to $ApeCoin Standard.

OVERALL COST

$500,000 USD in $APE

You could see this as the DAO paying $100 (~0.05 ETH) for each Player given away + all the extra benefits.

80% of the $APE will stay as $APE and be staked and used for prizemoney. The current community fund will be converted to fund the ongoing build.

Also note: $280,000 was spent on Player creation and tooling (which is not a cost being paid for via this proposal).
