AIP-123: Apeverse - A Multi-language Web Hub for Ape Ecosystem and $APE Holders - Ecosystem Fund Allocation

ABSTRACT

The aim of Apeverse is to bring more utilities to ApeCoin, deliver meaningful information about the Ape ecosystem, and facilitate an active $APE holders’ community.

Due to the large number and wide distribution of Ape community members, information such as news and activities cannot be effectively conveyed because of language and geographical restrictions. Therefore, we want to build an Ape ecosystem website named Apeverse to deliver Ape-related information to ApeCoin holders in a timely manner, and to show the development of the Asia-Pacific community to $APE global holders.

Apeverse will also bring more utilities to ApeCoin, including payment and membership systems. Our goal is to create a hub for users to view information and interact better with each other through ApeCoin.

OVERALL COST

The future revenue includes the profit from the sales of merchandise and the membership subscription fee. We expect to reach a break-even point after 1 year. We will need starting funds to cover the cost for the first year.

• UI/UX design * 2 people * 2 months = 5,000 * 2 * 2 = 20,000
• Website front-end development * 3 people * 2 months = 4000 * 3 * 2 = 24,000
• On-going development and maintenance of the website * 1 person * 10 months = 5,000 * 1 * 10 = 50,000
• Smart contract development *1 people * 1 months = 7,000 * 1 * 1 = 7,000
• Smart contract audit = 10,000
• Website content operations * 1 person * 10 months = 3,000 * 1 * 10 = 30,000
• Invited writers * 1 articles per month * 10 months = 500 * 1 * 10 = 5,000
• Marketing campaigns * 1 every 2 months * 10 months = 1000 * 0.5 * 10 = 5,000
• Derivative product design and physical prototype building = 10,000
• Others (domain name, server, etc.) = 3,000

Total: $164,000 for the first year.

The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimise for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP. Any material deviations from an AIP, as initially approved, will be disclosed to the APE holder community.
