ELECTION 2022: Find Out More About Special Council Candidate Degentraland's Goal For The DAO

The ApeCoin DAO Special Council Election season ends today, and the community is about to determine who will be on the board in 2023.

After weeks of campaigning the $Ape community is set to select three new Special Council members to join Yat Siu and Alexis Ohanian on the ApeCoin DAO’s board in January 2023.

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported the ApeCoin DAO selected Veratheape, Degentraland, Gerry, Herb, and BoredApeG to be its Special Council nominees during the first round of voting last week.

To find out more about the five candidates, the Bored Ape Gazette reached out to each of them this weekend and asked them three questions about the DAO and their goals going forward.

Take a look at the Gazette’s interview with Degentraland below.

@Degentraland

1: Why should the $Ape community vote for you?

“I have extensive experience working in DAOs, NFTs, and tokenization. This coupled with my intimate knowledge of the community make me the ideal candidate. I’m a doer. And we don’t have time to waste.”

2: What are your thoughts on AIP 183 being rejected? As a Special Council Member What do you plan to do going forward?

“I’m glad the community took action. We need to focus on decentralizing the centralized points of failure in the ApeCoin ecosystem. Handling day-to-day operations is necessary (taxes, reporting, KYC, legal, etc.), but not at the expense of holders.”

3: If elected, what’s your top priority and what do you hope to accomplish?

“The goal is to turn ApeCoin from the engine of the Otherside to the token of the metaverse. This requires (i) fixing ApeCoin’s base layer infrastructure, (ii) investing in high growth metaverse initiatives (i.e. exploring new token sinks and use cases), and (iii) decentralizing operations over time.”

The polls for the ApeCoin DAO Special Council election close at 9 P.M. EST tonight. You can cast your ballot here: https://snapshot.org/#/apecoin.eth/proposal/0x0fb1d66dc79f164290a485fa2227c6e086dab1a87257db8139a4de4c27892c9c
