Abstract - Understanding $Ape as Meta Merge In-game Asset
This proposal, entitled the “Exploring New Frontiers: Bring ApeCoin ($Ape) into the Mobile Gaming World,” also known as AIP-xxx brings the utilities and values of ApeCoin to thousands of new holders through its integration into the Meta Merge game – a pet collection and mobile evolution game powered by AIGC and Ultiverse.
By integrating ApeCoin into the game, $Ape becomes another in-game asset in Meta Merge for new holders and game players to enjoy gamified experiences based on real-world utility. We aim to reinforce and leverage ApeCoin and its ecosystem by creating new user experiences through the power of the game. Thus, this integration will provide an ecosystem where players can utilize APE tokens within the game, alongside the other benefits they know APE tokens for.
Steps to Implement
Integration Development: Work closely with the Meta Merge development team to integrate APECoin as a payment currency within the game. This will involve creating a secure and seamless payment gateway for players to purchase assets using $APE.
Testing and Iteration: Conduct thorough testing to ensure the smooth functioning of the integration and the APE pet. Gather feedback from the APE community and make necessary improvements and refinements.
Marketing and Promotion: Develop a comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy to generate awareness and excitement around integration. Collaborate with Ultiverse, APECoin, and BAYC communities to maximize exposure and engagement.
