PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION Decentralized Drinks Paris is an exciting new weekly event at Le G Five Bar in Paris, designed to blend the worlds of cryptocurrency and social networking. After the overwhelming success of our monthly meet-ups, we are expanding to a weekly format to further engage the crypto community. To amplify our event’s presence we will proudly display “Powered by ApeCoin” on all our physical and digital supports, including flyers, banners, social media posts, and event tickets. We’re partnering with the MBA community to spotlight their products and innovations at our events. Together, we’ll craft a vibrant and engaging atmosphere, making “Decentralized Drinks” the must-visit hub for all Apes living in or passing through Paris.

Attendees can expect: Crypto-Themed Cocktails: inspired by popular cryptocurrencies. Exclusive Happy Hour Deals: to enhance the experience. Degen Talks: featuring lively discussions led by industry experts. Showcase of Made by Apes Projects: highlighting innovative products and ideas from the community. Future POAP on ApeChain

Flexible Offer for ApeCoin, BAYC, and MAYC Holders:

• Free Drink on Event Days: Holders of ApeCoin, BAYC, or MAYC can enjoy a free drink during our “Decentralized Drinks” events every Wednesday. We will verify ownership using TokenProof, and will not require any connections to the blockchain to enter the events.

• Discounts on Non-Event Days: On days when there isn’t a scheduled event, we will offer a 15% discount on all classic drinks to anyone holding ApeCoin, BAYC, or MAYC.

Additionally, we plan to implement a Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP) system during our events. This will allow us to track attendance and gather valuable data on the beverages offered, which will be monitored through our till system. This approach ensures transparency and provides insights into customer engagement, helping us optimize our offerings and the overall experience. We will only collect essential data necessary for the functioning of our service (email, X accounts, Addresses for POAP, etc.).

This event is not just a gathering; it’s a movement to connect, educate, and celebrate the ever-growing crypto ecosystem in a vibrant and inclusive environment.

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM Increased Visibility: Position ApeCoin at the heart of Paris, attracting both locals and travelers, and establishing Le G Five Bar as a key meeting point for the ApeCoin community.

Community Engagement: By sponsoring these events, ApeCoin becomes directly involved in weekly interactions with the community, fostering stronger bonds and loyalty.

Promoting Builders: The event will feature a dedicated “Made by Apes” booth, giving creators within the ecosystem a platform to showcase their work, thus driving innovation and collaboration.

Token Adoption: By accepting ApeCoin as a payment method and offering incentives like free drinks for BAYC and MAYC holders, we promote the practical use and adoption of ApeCoin in real-world scenarios.
