The ApeCoin DAO is voting on an Ape Improvement Proposal that aims establish the framework and process for the $Ape community to create and vote for an official mission statement, which may provide more direction to the DAO.
AIP-256 titled “ApeCoin DAO Mission Statement” is an AIP written by Bored Ape Yacht Club Member and former Working Group Zero Steward BadTeeth.
“This AIP empowers the DAO to vote on a final mission statement from 8 different community submitted and selected options,” BadTeeth wrote in his proposal.
In AIP-256, BadTeeth pitched a five-step plan that the DAO could follow to get community feedback and come up with eight possible mission statements.
This plan includes two Twitter Spaces sessions, a Working Group Zero Discord discussion, and the translation of the proposed statements into various languages. These measures aim to ensure that every $Ape can share their thoughts before a community-wide vote.
