ApeCoin DAO favorizează în mod oficial rămânerea în ecosistemul Ethereum

ApeCoin DAO, a governance system serving the democratic rights of ApeCoin (APE) holders — a digital asset tied to the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem — publicat an official proposal on May 2 to debate whether the asset should remain on Ethereum, transition to a layer-2 alternative, or perhaps explore the possibility of chain migration. 

The ApeCoin Improvement Proposal, titled “AIP-41: Keep ApeCoin within the Ethereum ecosystem,” was authored by BAYC 2491, known as ASEC, and drew inspiration from a number of incidents, including the turbulent Otherdeed mint and subsequent Yuga Labs reaction. 

The calamitous fallout of Yuga Labs’ Otherdeeds metaverse land sale intensely scrutinized the financial limitations of Ethereum’s gas fee mechanics and prompted the leading members of the ApeCoin community to vocalize their concerns around ApeCoin’s fixed supply contract and scalability potential. 

The overwhelming deflation of the gas wars, and lack of financial inclusion or integrity, was then further compounded by Yuga Labs’ poorly-calculated tweet insistând that “It seems abundantly clear that ApeCoin will need to migrate to its own chain in order to properly scale” and that “We’d like to encourage the DAO to start thinking in this direction.” 

Despite the imploring suggestion from Yuga Labs, AIP-41 passionately advocated against the migration from Ethereum, stating that “such a decision is currently too complex and costly to make” and potentially could damage their deep-rooted presence on the network with the largest volume and cultural adoption of nonfungible tokens (NFTs). 

„Noi, ApeCoin DAO, credem că, cel puțin deocamdată, ApeCoin ar trebui să rămână în ecosistemul Ethereum și să nu migreze în altă parte către un lanț L1 sau un lanț lateral care nu este securizat de Ethereum.” 

The total votes on the proposal echivalat to 3.8 million for and 3.3 million against — a 53.62% split. This outcome is not entirely definitive and can be further deliberated with the submission of new proposals within a three-month grace period.
