AIP-235: ApeTalent // Beyond Talent: Building the Future

ABSTRACT

As a member of the Ape community, you’re part of one of the strongest communities in Web3. However, despite the wealth of talent and opportunity within the community, it can be difficult for members to connect and collaborate effectively without the right tools. That’s why ApeTalent was born - one of the first software products developed from scratch by and supported by the ApeCoin community. With ApeTalent, we’re taking collaboration and communication within the community to the next level, creating a hub for talent and opportunity that will benefit all members of the ApeCoin ecosystem.

OVERALL COST

We are committed to delivering value to the community as soon as possible. In order to achieve this, we have divided the work into 3 blocks of 4 months each, for a total of 1 year of work. The funding request is $330,000 USD worth of ApeCoin (on the date of this AIP is approved), which will be divided into payments for each block of work completed ($110,000 each).

We will only receive the next payment for block once we have confirmed with the Foundation that the work for the current block is ready in production, as agreed upon in this AIP, starting the first payment once this proposal is accepted. This payment schedule ensures that we are held accountable for delivering the agreed-upon features in a timely manner and that our community can have confidence in our commitment to providing value.

The funds obtained in this AIP will provide us with enough help to finance the development, bug fixing and maintenance costs of these new features in the time window of a year since the feature is ready in production.
