Welcome to a celebratory Week In Review as we look back at a mammoth few days at Forj HQ!
Forj receives ApeCoin DAO approval to build first Bored Ape Yacht Club accelerator
What a day Wednesday was as we were granted approval from the ApeCoin DAO to launch Ape Accelerator, an incubation platform for the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) community.
This new initiative, which was submitted and approved via ApeCoin DAO’s Idea Proposal system (see AIP-209), will incubate and launch projects that strengthen the BAYC community and ApeCoin ecosystem, and will be powered by ApeCoin tokens (APE).
Ape Accelerator aims to engage the ApeCoin community as Initiators, Voters, and Participants. Initiators can submit proposals for projects to be incubated, while Voters can use their APE tokens to vote on whether the proposed projects should be launched. Participants will be able to support approved projects by purchasing NFTs and other tokens.
Harry Liu, CEO of Forj, said of the new initiative: “We are thrilled to have the support of the ApeCoin DAO community to bring Ape Accelerator to life. Our goal is to create new opportunities for builders and creators within the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem, and with Ape Accelerator we can empower projects that will achieve just that.”
