Q&A: This AIP Wants To Arm ApeCoin Holders With Digital Shields. Find Out More about AIP-254

The fate of Otherside and the metaverse hangs in the balance and this Ape Improvement Proposal wants to arm the ApeCoin DAO and the entire Yugaverse with shields as they prepare for battle!

AIP-254 titled “FREE ApeCoin NFT Shields to First 150,000 ApeCoin Holders and FREE NFT Shields to all BAYC, MAYC, CryptoPunks, Meebits, BAKC, Otherside owners for only $1 Budget,” is an ecosystem allocation fund proposal written by ApeCoin DAO Contributor and Waifumon founder AaronLeupp.

“Aside for preparing us for war and growing our 120,000 ApeCoin holders to 150,000 I would like to be able to buy part of a Costco hot dog,” AaronLeupp wrote. “It has been a dream of mine for quite some time.”

In AIP-254, AaronLeupp says that he and his team will create 150,000 $Ape inspired shields and airdrop them to the first 150,000 $Ape holders, free NFT themed shields for all BAYC, MAYC, CryptoPunks, Meebits, BAKC, Otherside owners.and free golden ApeCoin shields for the top 690 $Ape holders.

“Goal is to Multi-Link the NFT as wearable weapons in Decentraland, OtherSide, Sandbox and more as we are did with Waifumon,” AaronLeupp wrote.

To find out more about this defensive measure, the Bored Ape Gazette reached out to AaronLeupp for an interview. Check out the interview below:

1.In a sentence or two can tell me why you want to make digital shields for the ApeCoin DAO?

“Cuz I wanna say “it's dangerous to go alone! take this” out loud to myself every time I give one to each person. It will prepare them for battle in the years to come in the web3, Ai and Metaverse space.”

2. Howd you get into designing digital items?

“I use to draw and sell anime prono to my fellow classmates in junior high as a side hustle to pay that I use to buy a switch blade to defend myself from attacks.”

3. How do you plan to do this and get them to holders?

“Same way we been giving them out to our over 100,000+ Waifumon NFT owners and our daily Waifumon give aways I been doing on Twitter daily for over 800+ days, by deliver pidgin and Hogwarts owl.”

4. What can $Apes do with these shields?

“Own them, sell them, trade them, hold them, kiss them, sleep with them (with concent of course) and wear them in metaverse and games like Decentraland, Otherside, Sandbox and more.”

5. What should the DAO know about you?

"When I was in first grade I traded one of my good friends a rapidash (his fav Pokémon)for his my fav Pokémon charizard. He later died of cancer in junior high and I feel sad about that even to this day."

6. Why the one dollar price tag?

“I made a chart I don’t know how much more I can explain it. They can see the chart if they confused and if still confused they should get there head checked.”

7.Do you have anything else you’d like to add or say?

“All I ask if I get sent to jail and need bail I hope I can count on you the reader to have my back when that day comes. -Aaron Leupp.”
