Forj, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has initiated the official launch of the ApeCoin Accelerator ($APE), marking a significant milestone for the ApeCoin ecosystem. This cutting-edge accelerator, supported by the ApeCoin DAO, aims to invigorate the Web3 community.
On the 17th of October, 2023, Forj, a prominent Web3 technology endeavor under the Animoca Brands umbrella, unveiled the ApeCoin Accelerator, a community-driven Web3 accelerator that derives its funding from the ApeCoin DAO. This launch signals the opening of applications to the ApeCoin Accelerator program, presenting aspiring entrepreneurs with the opportunity to introduce their innovative Web3 ventures to an extensive ApeCoin community boasting over 200,000 members, commencing in Q4 of 2023.
The inception of the ApeCoin Accelerator follows the successful ratification of AIP-209, a proposal originating from the ApeCoin DAO’s Idea Proposal (AIP) system. Tailored to fortify the ApeCoin ecosystem and amplify its utility for ApeCoin stakeholders, this accelerator is designed to endorse and inaugurate projects striving to augment the value proposition for ApeCoin holders.
Ape token holders will enjoy the privilege of supporting approved ApeCoin projects via the Ape Launchpad ($APE Launchpad), permitting the acquisition of NFTs and alternative tokens. Additionally, they will be empowered to exercise their voting rights to determine the acceptance of project proposals.
Harry Liu, the Chief Executive Officer of Forj, expressed his enthusiasm for this momentous launch, stating, “Today signifies the onset of a transformative era in innovation for the ApeCoin community. The ApeCoin Accelerator extends a warm invitation to any visionary entrepreneur with a compelling Web3 initiative to submit their applications now, joining us on our quest to enrich the ApeCoin ecosystem.”
Yat Siu, the co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, reflected on the significance of community-driven endeavors like the ApeCoin Accelerator. He emphasized that APE token holders play a pivotal role in steering innovation within the ecosystem they belong to. Furthermore, he underscored the ApeCoin Accelerator’s potential to map out the future landscape of online ecosystem expansion, with eager anticipation for the emergence of remarkable new projects within the program.
