AIP-196: BORED AIP: Bringing Order and Reliability via Ecosystem Decentralization

ABSTRACT

The expiration of the APE Foundation’s administrator contract for the second time in 2022 has magnified the need to develop internal capabilities and avoid reliance on any external resource that could result in a single point of failure in the DAO.
