ApeCoin DAO-N Low #33
To the Bored,
Good evening (he said in a Dracula voice) and thanks for reading the 33rd edition of the Bored Ape Gazette’s ApeCoin DAO-n Low Newsletter.
It's Halloween around the ApeCoin ecosystem, and many $Ape holders are en route to Hong Kong, not for spooky season, but for the Bored Ape Yacht Club's third annual ApeFest!
The ApeCoin DAO is looking to have a major presence at this year’s ApeFest, funding nine events in Hong Kong and three satellite events around the world via ThankApe! Fun meet ups aren’t the only thing going bump in the night around the ApeCoin ecosystem this Halloween. The ApeCoin DAO’s third ever election season is set to begin tomorrow and $Ape holders are invited to enter the $Ape office races if they dare! And finally, ApeCoin DAO Contributor and Forj CEO, Harry Liu recently opened his ApeCoin DAO funded $Ape accelerator and he’s currently looking for builders in the $Ape ecosystem to ape in!
With so much happening around the $Ape ecosystem lets $Ape into the news and get the down low on the ApeCoin DAO!
To begin, thousands of Bored Ape Yacht Club members, and ApeCoin DAO contributors, are heading to Hong Kong for the BAYC’s third annual ApeFest from November 3rd-5th. Unlike the previous year’s events, this year’s ApeFest will be more focused on the community and getting to know one another.
“We’re doing things a little differently this year, with lots of ways to catch up with old frens and make new ones," the BAYC wrote on its Ape Fest website. "Less of a music festival, more of an epic, unhinged family reunion.”
To make this unhinged family reunion a reality, the club and the community worked together to put on various events across Hong Kong over the next week so BAYC members can put a face to the Ape PFP!
To get in on the ApeFest festivities, ThankApe, a project sponsored by the ApeCoin DAO that aims to reward active contributors in the ApeCoin ecosystem, funded nine events that the ApeCoin DAO community can participate in around Hong Kong this week, along with three satellite events happening aboard!

As Bored Apes and $Ape holders get ready for a fun week of partying and hanging out with their internet friends, the ApeCoin DAO’s third ever election season is about to begin.
On November 1st, ApeCoin DAO contributors are invited to throw their hat in the ring and officially announce their candidacies for $Ape office.
This winter’s election season will be the ApeCoin DAO’s busiest one yet with three Special Council seats, one Governance Working Group steward spot, two Marketing and Comms
positions, and two Metaverse Stewards seats all up for grabs!
In order to run for any of these positions, ApeCoin DAO Contributors will need to fill out a Google Doc form for the races they’d like to run in that the DAO will share tomorrow. $Apes will have from November 1st to 9 P.M. EST on November 14th to submit their applications and officially run for $Ape office.
From there, the DAO will verify the nominees’ applications, hold a week of community discussion, followed by two rounds of voting based on how many people run for each position. Winners of this winter’s election season will officially take office on January 1st, 2024. Check out this winter’s full election calendar below:
If running for office isn’t your style, fear not. The ApeCoin DAO Contributor, Harry Liu, recently launched his $Ape Accelerator and builders inside the $Ape ecosystem are invited to join the program and community members are invited to vote on their favorite projects and help creators jump start their ideas!
“The $APE Accelerator is formed of two primary business arms, our Accelerator and our Launchpad,” Liu wrote on his website. “The Accelerator, which hosts the Accelerator Program, is our strategic advisory and incubation arm designed to support project founders through their go-to-market journey. With many services including tokenomics, marketing, strategic, capital raise support, and more, it will turn a great idea into a world-beating Web3 project that benefits the ApeCoin ecosystem. The Launchpad is our retail-facing arm that provides $APE holders with the opportunity to participate in exclusive sales featuring projects that have been through our Accelerator Program.”
The window for builders to submit their ideas to the program is currently open and every $Ape holder is invited to sign up and get ready to participate in the program here: https://apecoinaccelerator.com
