PANews reported on October 17 that the Snapshot page showed that ApeCoin DAO passed the "Disband Four Non-essential Working Groups" proposal with 98.02% support. The proposal proposed to disband the governance working group, the market and communication working group, the metaverse working group, and the Web3 development working group. The proposal pointed out that these working groups cost the DAO nearly $3 million per year, and their task execution was inefficient. In addition, the proposal stated that the funds of the ApeCoin Foundation were rapidly decreasing. In order to reduce financial pressure, the proposal suggested outsourcing related functions to third-party teams and recruiting teams that meet transparency and responsibility standards through a request for proposal (RFP) process to optimize the operational efficiency of the DAO.
