SEASON 6 IS LIVE! It's the moment you've all been waiting for, Season 6 is officially LIVE and you can begin contributing IMMEDIATELY for your share of up to 800,000 APE this season! After gathering all of your feedback last season, one major frustration stood out: Lack of funding support from the DAO for small businesses, events, and local groups who advocate for and represent the ecosystem. - Specifically, attempting to get funded is (1) too difficult and (2) takes too long, especially for small businesses. With that in mind, we are dedicating Season 6 to a theme we dubbed .... MADE BY APECOIN (MBAC) Harnessing the identity of the club’s MBA and expanding it to include businesses from the entire ApeCoin ecosystem. During Season 6, we will focus on four objectives: 1️⃣ Identifying top needs for MBACs 2️⃣ Providing funding, engagement, and support for MBACs through our MBAC Accelerator Program (see below) 3️⃣ Encouraging and rewarding interactions between the community and MBACs 4️⃣ Incentivizing MBACs to implement exclusive benefits for the ApeCoin community This brings us to our MBAC Accelerator Program This program aims to provide support for valuable community businesses in the ApeCoin ecosystem. Over the course of this ~two month program, accepted MBACs will showcase their unique businesses and implement various integrations together with Thank APE to amplify interactions between the community and our builders. MBACs who complete the program will have access to primary funding of up to 20,000 APE each, secondary funding through unique contribution integrations on Thank APE’s platform, and qualify for future programs. Our goal is to create a repeatable and scalable program that can fund as many MBAC businesses as possible and connect them with the community in a way that allows them to reward each other. Stay tuned to learn more about the program and how to apply, launching soon. We want to recruit the community to be a part of this program and the development of our ecosystem’s businesses too. This season, many contributions will reward you for producing content related to your interactions with these MBACs and all ecosystem businesses, such as unboxing videos and reviews, deep dive threads, etc. The community will have a say in evaluating the success of MBACs in our program, with a portion of funding dedicated to community consensus. What matters to us most is : 1. Truly valuable contributions to the ecosystem, and 2. Establishing a symbiotic relationship between the community and its builders so that growth can exist beyond our programs.
