BIP043 [DAO/Partnership] Apebond Integration & Revenue Sharing

Author: @LP17 – @BIMLabs

Summary of the Proposal: This proposal seeks official DAO approval to establish a strategic partnership between BIM and ApeBond, including:

• Integration of ApeBond via SDK directly into BIM Exchange
• Creation of a dedicated “Bonds” interface within BIM Exchange
• Implementation of a 30% revenue-sharing mechanism, with revenues routed directly to the BIM DAO treasury
• This is a formal governance proposal for execution upon approval.

Context: BIM previously utilized ApeBond in a DAO-approved bonding campaign structure involving discounted token sales with vesting. ApeBond is a capital-raising platform enabling projects to:

• Raise liquidity through discounted token bonds
• Structure token distribution via vesting
• Reduce immediate sell pressure
• Attract capital without market dumping

Given the positive structural framework of bonding mechanics, the proposal now is to formalize the relationship and integrate ApeBond directly within BIM Exchange as a recurring product vertical.

Proposal Details: 1️⃣ Strategic Partnership

• ApeBond becomes an official ecosystem partner of BIM
• BIM becomes an official ecosystem partner of ApeBond
• Co-branding and collaboration initiatives may be developed

2️⃣ Technical Integration

• Integration of ApeBond SDK directly into BIM Exchange
• Creation of a dedicated interface tab labeled “Bonds”
• Bonding functionality embedded directly within the BIM environment
• Compatibility limited to mutually supported blockchains

Objective: Users remain within the BIM interface while accessing bonding campaigns seamlessly.

3️⃣ Revenue Model The proposed revenue structure includes: -30% of volumes generated via BIM’s ApeBond integration -Revenue automatically transferred to the BIM DAO treasury wallet

This creates: -A new recurring revenue stream -Increased protocol sustainability -Additional value generation for BIM holders

4️⃣ Treasury Impact

• Revenue routed directly to the DAO
• Subject to standard treasury conversion policy (USDC on BASE if applicable)
• Fully governed by DAO oversight
• Strategic Rationale

This proposal strengthens BIM’s position as:

• A DeFi-native infrastructure platform
• A revenue-generating DAO
• A multi-product protocol expanding beyond swaps and bridges

It supports:

• Treasury growth
• Ecosystem expansion
• Long-term sustainability
• Risks & Considerations
• Smart contract integration risk (ApeBond SDK)
• Dependence on ApeBond’s operational continuity
• Reputation risk if bonded projects underperform
• UX complexity requiring careful implementation
• A technical review and deployment audit phase will be conducted prior to activation.
