AIP-437: A Powerup for ApeChain: Blever - where NFTs & Social Farming meet  


ABSTRACT

As a team of very passionate ApeCoin DAO & Yuga community members, we want to play our part in the success of ApeChain. And we will not only support it, but even amplify it.

Introducing Blever, a cutting-edge web3 platform combining NFTs with social farming & incentivized content creation. The platform empowers teams to effortlessly bring their creations to life while enjoying unparalleled hype & attention. By leveraging social login and seamless FIAT payments, Blever provides easy access to ApeChain not only for experienced users but also for casual players and retail.

In addition to gaming, you also need fun, culture, memes, and PFPs to make ApeChain appealing and popular. Blever is designed to do just that.
We see ourselves as an extended community-driven business development arm. We search for projects, support their launch, and bring them tremendous reach and engagement through social farming. Everyone wins!

With $APE being the native gas token of ApeChain we believe that bringing users/traffic/projects to the chain is probably the single most important thing the DAO can focus on in the near future.

Driving demand for ApeChain = Driving demand for $APE

Easy access to ApeChain → more users on ApeChain → more demand for $APE
Incentives on ApeChain → more users on ApeChain → more demand for $APE
More use cases on ApeChain → more use cases for $APE
ApeChain hype → $APE hype

This is our biggest opportunity and we want to do everything we can with Blever to make the most of it.

Having already invested more than 2 months of our time and resources, we are now looking for funding from the DAO to help us achieve our goal. Let’s make ApeChain a success together

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

ApeChain needs builders, users, fun & culture.

We aim to become an ApeChain launch partner.

Consider us to be an external business development arm for ApeChain.
Via our platform, we will onboard creators, users, culture & fun to ApeChain.
We have already started with outreach to various brands and projects + we have existing/confirmed partnerships as well.

Maximizing reach & engagement for projects that launch on ApeChain: easy access to social farming & incentivized content creation will ensure that they get the hype and attention they deserve.

Easy ApeChain onboarding with Social Login & FIAT payments

• Social Login will allow casual gamers & retail to sign up by using their traditional login methods (such as Google, X, Meta, etc.) - no wallet needed.
• FIAT payments will allow them to pay by Credit Card or other common payment methods.
• No gas fees - we will cover them on their behalf.

This combination will enable the simplest, fastest, and smoothest onboarding process for new users! No wallet, no crypto needed - a seamless web2.5 experience for everyone ; )

Powered by Ape(Chain) branding - permanently placed in our footer for 1 year.

Joint marketing efforts via our points system: we already had initial conversations with ApeCoin DAO members. Imagine $APE & ApeChain all over your timeline ; )

Stackable multiplier for Apes and other partner collections like (Kodas, Mocaverse, and more) in all social farming campaigns. Making sure that our fam & frens have a headstart. $APE payments - all mints on ApeChain will have ApeCoin as their default currency, creating additional demand and utility.
