apeball coin is live now
the game opens for draws once the first ape and initial shapes nfts are acquired and minted
apeball
a coin that buys bored apes with its trading fees
an onchain game where anyone can purchase randomized nfts from a pool containing those apes
i've been watching token strategies since they launched and it's been v interesting to see how speculation is used to fund the accumulation of assets
but once assets are acquired, many of those strategies stall out because they require demand for the target collection to rise and buy the nfts that were listed at a markup
i've been curious about what happens if you keep the asset accumulation mechanism but give those assets a different way to circulate
enter: FWA custom pools
with apeball, trading fees fund a live eth bid for bored apes, and every acquired ape goes into the pool
rather than waiting for someone to purchase an entire ape at a markup, the pool distributes nfts through much smaller randomized purchases
the rest of the pool is filled with shapes (eth-backed nfts), which are minted on demand at different denominations, giving people a range of possible outcomes and keeping the draw price around 0.02 eth
as people play apeball, each ape's notional listing value gradually decays, increasing the odds that they get drawn
the pool generates revenue from each draw and all pool profits go toward accumulating APEBALL for buy and burns and additional ape acquisitions when needed
the buyback portion accumulates in a reserve until someone pulls an ape, at which point it's released to buy and burn the coin
so trading activity acquires the apes, the game provides a way to distribute them through smaller purchases, and the revenue from that activity feeds back into the coin
some details on the coin:
- 1 billion fixed supply
- no team allocation, presale, or emissions
- normal trading fees are 5% on buys and sells
- launch fee starts at 69% in both directions and decrease by 1 percentage point per minute until reaching 5%
- 99% of trading fees go to the ape pool, 1% goes to buy and burn LAYER
i earn from the mint fees on shapes, while the trading fees and game revenue remain in the protocol to fund acquisitions and buybacks
feels like we're just scratching the surface of how these different onchain mechanisms can work together, and i'm excited to see how this one plays out
deploying soon

New GVCs have been sent from our company vault to holders who were victims of Friday's hack.
Our hearts go out to all of those who were impacted.
We are incredibly bummed to see all of the loss within our community, and the broader NFT space as a whole.
Any @goodvibesclub holder who was impacted by today’s events will be receiving a GVC from our personal company treasury to ensure no one loses their membership to the club today.
While our community was not personally spared, we are also incredibly grateful for all of the hard work by the legend @0xQuit to protect the broader space as a whole.
If you are a GVC holder who was impacted, please reach out to myself or anyone on the team below or in discord.

as a guy who is actually just here for the art, who appreciates how hard artists work on their collections, knows exactly how much effort goes in to such amazing works.
I thought the timing was perfect 🧹
@DirtyRobotWorks has showed up every single day, consistently expanded his onchain and irl body of work, continues to develop his masterful character works with directors cut content.
if the space ever has an art run again like it once did, @RENGA_inc will be right there with the top collections again.

The Playground is not just all our eco contracts or token/badge metadata in one place.
It's an IP builder hub.
It's a commercial grade asset repo of content we've spent years making.
It's a place where anyone, regardless of technical ability, can go to create. It's made to be easy and it's just the foundation.
From top down to bottom up. Its why w3.
Unlocking this creativity is what took Reddit from online forum -> billion dollar powerhouse.
When I was building product there, we'd double down on things the community would begin and integrate to our core product.
Between community and team, we can create interesting tie ins between not just holding $VIBESTR, but what you can do with it. Not just collecting your NFTs, but how you can bring them to life.
And it's never been this fun.
