The ApeCoin DAO Will Not Fill Airvey's Special Council Seat Following His Resignation

The ApeCoin DAO’s Special Council will have only four members for the rest of the year after Airvey resigned yesterday.

On Friday, the Ape Foundation announced that Special Council Member Airvey was stepping down from his position on the Special Council.

 

“Airvey, a member of the Ape Foundation Special Council, has resigned from that position to pursue other endeavors,” the Foundation wrote. “We thank Airvey for his contributions to the ApeCoin DAO, including co-authoring the winning bid on the ApeChain RFP (AIP-378). We wish Airvey well and look forward to his future contributions to the ApeCoin DAO.”

 

 

With Airvey gone, the ApeCoin DAO’s Special Council now consists of four members: BoredApeG, Waabam, Hazel, and Mo_Ezeldin.

 

Following Airvey’s departure, Special Council member Mo_Ezeldin told the Gazette that Airvey’s seat will not be refilled, and the community will have the chance to vote on his replacement during this December’s ApeCoin election season.

“It will remain vacant until the next election,” he said.

Airvey’s seat won’t be the only Special Council position that $Apes will need to fill later this year. BoredApeG and Hazel’s seats will also be up for a vote.

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, Airvey told the Gazette that he decided to step down from his position because he had accomplished his campaign promise to make ApeChain a reality.

 

“As a co-author of ApeChain AIP-378, my mission was to propose a robust infrastructure layer to support the ApeCoin ecosystem,” Airvey said. “With the chain now ready to launch on mainnet, I feel my contribution is complete, and it’s now up to the Banana Bill to bring it to fruition! Since joining as Special Council in January, I have had the opportunity to speak about ApeCoin and ApeChain on 16 panels across 4 continents, explaining why I believe that implementing an Arbitrum Orbit chain with $APE as its native gas token would significantly enhance $APE’s utility. After spending months putting the ApeChain AIP together (at no cost to the DAO), I’m thrilled it became the North Star. Although all four proposals during the ApeChain RFP process had their merits, I felt then, and even more so now, that joining forces with Arbitrum offered us the best capabilities and the best chances of success. I am super excited by the support from Yuga and can’t wait to see the projects being built by the talented community!”

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow the ApeCoin DAO and will let you know who the community elects next. Stay tuned for updates!
