AIP-379 titled ‘Thank APE - Phase II: Amplifying a Movement,’ is an ecosystem fund allocation proposal written by ThriveCoin Founder and Thank Ape creator, ThriveGiraffe.
“We are Apes,” ThriveGiraffe wrote. “Our motivation is to create enormous value for ApeCoin DAO - by rewarding and recognizing valuable decentralized contributions to our DAO. We’ve been doing this since our first Thank APE Proposal AIP-124 passed almost a year ago. Our motivation - combined with our tech and expertise, and your partnership - has helped support significant accomplishments since we launched in April of this year.”
With Thank Ape Phase II, ThriveGiraffe and the Thank Ape team hope to find opportunities to proliferate $Ape and support the stellar primates that are working to make $Ape the coin of culture and the Metaverse.
“ApeCoin must create value now,” he wrote. “To do that, we must attract, fund, and coordinate the best talent to address our DAO’s biggest needs. Speed and accuracy matter. Trust matters. Automation and decentralization matter. Utility is essential. Thank APE - Phase II is a one-year initiative that proposes to: 1. Continuously sense into the biggest needs and opportunities for ApeCoin DAO.2. Attract, fund, and coordinate the best talent to quickly respond to those needs. 3. Incentivize community members to engage and support value-creating projects.”
