ABSTRACT Decentralized governance is complicated. Decentralized governance without a clearly stated unifying purpose is nearly impossible. This final step in the completion of AIP-256 will select a mission statement to serve as a northstar for the DAO. https://forum.apecoin.com/t/aip-256-apecoin-dao-mission-statement/12540

With the talent, brainpower, and treasury available to our ecosystem, there is literally no limit to what ApeCoin DAO can accomplish if we can align around a common purpose. This common purpose, defined by our mission statement will:

• Streamline the AIP process by creating clarity for contributors around what the DAO is looking to accomplish

• Attract creators and developers in the space aligned with our mission

• Actively reinforce our founder’s vision to position APE as a token that, “will serve as a decentralized protocol layer for community-led initiatives that drive culture forward into the metaverse.”

• Clarify what exactly it is ApeCoin DAO exists to do

Below are the English versions of 8 mission statement options submitted by the community. On the forum there are translations into 9 additional languages including French, Spanish, Mandarin, Hindi, Portuguese, German, Russian, Japanese, Korean and an explanation of each submission.
