Earlier this week, the ApeCoin decentralized autonomous organization initiated a proposal to launch an APE-themed hotel in central Bangkok.
More than 91% of the votes are for the proposal, signaling strong support for the hotel’s opening.
Voting for the ApeCoin (APE) hotel, initially named AIP-448, started on July 18.
At press time, 4.6 million APE had voted “yes,” while 411 thousand APE had voted against the launch. The naysayers represent 8.16% of the total votes cast.
AIP-448 will reportedly merge intellectual property applications, the hospitality sector, the arts, and cryptocurrency. The proposed hotel reportedly plans to offer a diverse range of ApeCoin-themed attractions and amenities.
The establishment could feature ApeCoin-centric exhibitions, an APE-themed bar, and a variety of rooms decorated to represent different APE communities.
Additionally, it could include an APE-branded swimming pool and a dedicated area for exhibitions.
ApeCoin Hotel seeks 410,000 APE from the ApeCoin ecosystem fund to see the proposal through, and voting concludes on July 31.
ApeCoin hotel benefits
According to the DAO, the ApeCoin Hotel aims to promote ApeCoin, ApeChain, and various APE communities comprehensively. The DAO stated that the venture intends to provide numerous benefits to members of the APE community.
The DAO proposed that 50% of the revenue generated from themed rooms be directed to the ApeCoin DAO treasury for one year. Secondly, the hotel could accept ApeCoin as a payment method, which proponents claim would demonstrate the cryptocurrency’s real-world utility and potentially boost its circulation.
The hotel project also plans to incorporate various community-centric initiatives. These may include offering 50 complimentary nights of accommodation to APE holders and providing free access to certain hotel facilities for community members.
Moreover, the proposal has outlined a unique check-in process for ApeCoin holders at a themed hotel. Guests would reportedly need to verify their ApeCoin Forum membership and wallet balance at the front desk.
Guests are encouraged to share their experiences on X. Those seeking free stays would be required to post about their visit, including photos and positive feedback, to receive cashback.
