AIP-483: Bored Arcade: The Ultimate Degen Arcade & Mini-Game Creation Factory

Disclaimer: Due to the recent approval of AIP-436, all AIPs requesting an allocation denominated over US$250,000 will require a super majority approval of 69% of the total number of votes cast. The Foundation has already begun coordinating to develop our new Snapshot strategy to automate these new decision making guidelines, however, we will ensure compliance with this guideline manually in the interim.

This AIP falls above that threshold and will require 69% of votes to be approved.

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

Bored Arcade is set to redefine the gaming experience with a degen twist! The BAYC/YUGA-themed arcade will be exclusively native to ApeChain and powered by $APE coin. Our mission? To craft addictively fun games that are straightforward yet compelling—like the beloved “Dookie Dash.” We get it: The everyday non gamer as well as Web3 aficionados crave games that are both easy to grasp and a blast to play, and most importantly you can win a ton of dope stuff!

At launch, players will dive into mini-games designed for everyone from casual dabblers to enthusiasts. You’ll use $APE coin to snag $INSERT tokens, which are your ticket to gameplay. Like those old-school arcades, you’ll collect raffle tickets to score insane prizes. Our simple-to-play, yet addictive games are sure to draw a diverse crowd of gamers, memecoin degens, and even everyday apes.

Bored Arcade isn’t just fun and games; it showcases cutting-edge blockchain gaming tech, spotlighting ApeChain’s potential. This could spark further developer interest and investment in the platform. And with community engagement at its core, our chase-based prize draws, and engaging gaming will foster a dynamic community within the Ape Chain ecosystem.

With raffles and prizes, players will be rewarded daily and weekly. Prize pools will consist of $APE coin contributions and other assets, with 70% going to the winner and 30% allocated back to the platform for buy-backs, airdrops, and a portion of the proceeds going back to the APE Coin DAO.

We’re ramping up perks for BAYC holders too. They can bring their PFP avatars into the games, scoring 1.5x more $INSERT tokens and boosting their chances at raffle winnings.

Bored Arcade’s in-app wallet simplifies account creation and user management. This feature integrates an EVM wallet function for depositing $APE coin, exchanging it for $INSERT token, managing raffle tickets & prizes, and authorizing micropayments for in-game items while playing the games anywhere you want with your mobile. We understand the best tool is the one in your pocket so expect Bored Arcade on Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Last but not least our Mini-game Generation Engine, Bored Arcade will establish an innovative game generation engine, equipped with a set of versatile templates designed to streamline the creation of minigames targeted but not exclusively to meme coin projects

These templates enable the rapid development and deployment of new games, significantly enhancing our ability to deliver products regularly, to expand the Bored Arcade platform, and the ApeChain ecosystem.

Welcome to Bored Arcade, where we play hard and degen harder!
