ApeCoin

PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION

The initiative aims to support the ApeCoin Ecosystem by the creation of a unique Minecraft Server that will expose ApeCoin to different Web2/Web3 users. The Minecraft Roleplay experience we will realize, combines learning about blockchain and cryptocurrency concepts with the fun and interactivity typical of Minecraft. This server is a multiplayer experience where different players undertake specific roles and interact with one another within a virtual world in a story or narrative context. It’s an interactive environment where players could be creative, develop unique characters, and engage in gripping stories with others in the community.

Players will embark on their journey from ground zero, starting with neither money nor personal property. They will need to seek their first job or opt for education to acquire skills, subsequently advancing towards employment.

Numerous job opportunities await players, ranging from mining and entrepreneurship to political roles or positions within the government sector. Essential roles such as doctors, nurses, firefighters, and policemen are also available.

There are many objectives in such a comprehensive mode, but we have summarized the main ones. We aim for a serene environment, free of disparities and conflicts among users.

• Explore: an unique world
• Learn: about Apes & Web3
• Build: your in-game future
• Socialize: meet new e-friends

Our team-created virtual city is the hub of adventure for all players. From here, they are taken into a world full of opportunities starting with Town Hall as a common starting point. From schools to hospitals and museums, recreational parks, and much more, we promise varied gaming experiences with a wide variety of core buildings.

But it doesn’t stop there: the extremities of the town provide limitless plots for buying, selling, and renting—a never-ending expansion. Underneath the surface, there would be subway stations and markets, bringing another dimension to the game: discovery. Then comes the aspect where players can make their mark in the game by creating their own home or business.

The academy system is dedicated to both enlightening people on Web3 as well as exploring the intriguing origins of Bored Ape, discovering the history of the foundation and about who the founders are.

We are building our custom launcher with our “Pentagon Games” Gamemodes too. The ApeCoin’s Server will be also integrated under our launcher. Being included under our ecosystem guarantee different benefits:

• The Pentagon Game launcher provides APE members with the opportunity to install the game and gain early access, along with exclusive special skins

• Access other Minecraft gamemodes we’ve created in a multiverse experience

• Players can earn the opportunity to have their specific APEs erected as statues. This recognition comes with on-chain airdrops and other perks for users, such as the ability to fly around for 5 minutes

• Users can earn sponsored gas tokens from multiple blockchain networks, including both EVM-compatible and non-EVM chains, as they explore the platform and develop their profiles

BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM

• Themed Digital World: We will create an Ape-themed digital space where anyone can come in, have fun and spend their time in an engaging environment

• Educational Opportunities: We will provide learning opportunities for people and awareness about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Web3, Metaverse and more

• Media Success: Thanks to Minecraft, the best-selling game in recent years, we will gain significant media attention that will give even more visibility to ApeCoin

• Knowledge: We will make the ApeCoin story known to all possible users, increasing brand recognition and understanding

• Increased Usership and Adoption: Integrating ApeCoin as a game currency will incentivize players to use and own ApeCoin, increasing adoption and demand for the cryptocurrency (this Benefit will happen in the future when the gamemode is released on Hytopia)

• Active and Involved Community: Creating an active and involved community around ApeCoin, with events, competitions, and activities that promote interaction and a sense of belonging

• Monetization and Revenue: Generating new revenue streams through in-game purchases, special events, and other activities using ApeCoin, supporting the economic sustainability of the project
