Hello and welcome along to the latest Forj Week In Review. It’s been a week full of live shows, new proposals and fresh announcements. Here’s just a taste of what we’ve been doing…
Forj Launch Ape Accelerator (AIP-209) Proposal
Forj have proposed an Ape Improvement Proposal (AIP) for the creation of a dedicated Bored Ape project incubator and launchpad driven by $APE token to the ApeCoin DAO. The ApeCoin community can now vote on the proposal until 1am 18th May UTC.
The AIP-209 proposal by Forj, titled “Ape Accelerator Powered By ApeCoin”, will help the ApeCoin and BAYC ecosystem by incubating and facilitating projects that contribute to, and utilise, ApeCoin and BAYC IP ecosystem growth.
Projects looking to launch through the Ape Accelerator will require $APE token to submit a proposal, and holders of $APE and BAYC Ecosystem NFTs will be able to access the launchpad to invest in such projects.
You can find out more information about the proposal on our Twitter thread here, and you can vote for the proposal now until 1am UTC on 18th May 2023.
You, Me, & Web3 Twitter Space
On Wednesday, we hosted our latest You, Me, & Web3 Twitter Space.
It was a fun and action packed session hosted by Tom McDermott — who was joined by Forj CEO Harry Liu, Forj CMO Chas Stanton, Rug Radio’s Pukerainbow, Andrew from ApeBeverages, and ApeBeverages investor @17iKoola.
Listen here as they discuss numerous topics including the state of the NFT market and Ape IP! It was an utter hoot!
