ON THE BALLOT: This AIP Wants To Make A Discord Tipping Bot That's Powered By $Ape!

Beep Boop! There’s an Ape Improvement Proposal on the ballot this week that looks to bring a Discord tipping bot to ApeChain, adding a new layer of fun and utility to the $Ape ecosystem!

AIP-529, titled “Development and Enhancement of APE-BOT Discord Tipping Bot,” is an ecosystem allocation fund proposal submitted by ApeCoin DAO contributor MisterGORR.

 

“Every community needs a tipping bot. It makes the entire guild more fun and engaging,” MisterGORR wrote. “It’s the tool to create actual economy in these spaces and to keep them alive. It’s not only for tipping. You can reward the users for being in your guild and motivate them for staying active. You can reward your members for attending events or fulfilling any request you have come up with.Sub-communities will emerge on the ApeChain with their very own tokens. It will be crucial for all of them to have a functioning tipping bot. This will be a must-have tool for these groups to become successful. I’d like to create a secure and sustainable bot, that’ll keep bringing value to the ApeCoin community.”

Unlike traditional Discord tipping bots, which many Apes may already be familiar with, MisterGORR’s bot will process all transactions on ApeChain.

 

“Although, I must point out that this is still “just” a tipping bot which means that wallets are auto generated for users and are kept on the server computer,” he wrote.” It is not a fully fledged non-custodial wallet. However, I believe it is still a better option than those fully centralized bots out there.I’m also planning on building a function where you could import wallets to your account and sign every tip with MetaMask, making it more secure without the need for me to store user keys.I’d like to work on many more features for the bot and it’s security as well as to create a sustainable model for its long-term operation.”

 

To make APE-BOT a reality, MisterGORR is requesting $40,000 USD in ApeCoin from the DAO. Of this amount, $30,000 USD will fund continued development over the next year, while $10,000 USD will go toward a tech audit.

 

 

If approved, APE-BOT will introduce an array of new features, including Role Staking, Automatic Token Addition, Minting, Swapping, Fast Transactions, and even a Poker Game. The bot will also integrate with MetaMask and other tools to enhance security and functionality.

 

“The grant would cover the entire development of the bot/app and allow for complete focus and dedication,” MisterGORR wrote. “The cost is calculated based on what I’d need to fully focus on this project for an entire year.After that the app must sustain itself by revenue generated from fees.This will ensure that the project receives the attention it needs to succeed, ultimately benefiting the ApeCoin community by delivering a fully developed, secure and sustainable Discord Tipping Bot.”

 

The voting window for AIP-529 is now open, and ApeCoin DAO contributors have until Wednesday, February 12th to cast their votes.
