In this article, we will explore why the proposal failed and what ApeCoin can learn from this experience.

The Proposal

The AIP-232 proposal aimed to create a multilingual information center called Apeverse. The platform would allow Ape community members to share relevant progress and events, encouraging collaboration amongst members. The proposal recognized the need for a central hub for the ApeCoin community and aimed to fill that gap. However, the proposal failed to receive the necessary support to pass.

The Vote

On the snapshot voting page, AIP-232 did not receive enough support to be voted through. The abstention rate of the vote was 54.2%, the opposition rate was 41.85%, and the support rate was only 3.95%. These low rates were a clear indication that the proposal did not resonate with the ApeCoin community.

Possible Reasons for Failure

The AIP-232 proposal failed to gather enough support likely due to several reasons. Firstly, the proposal lacked clear and compelling communication. A complex technical document that is difficult to understand often leads to voter apathy. Additionally, the language used may not have been clear and simple enough to convey the intent of the proposal.
Secondly, the Ape community may have had doubts regarding the feasibility of the proposed project. The proposal lacked details regarding the cost of the project, how it would be executed, and who would be responsible for the implementation and maintenance.
Lastly, the proposal may have suffered from timing issues. It was presented during a period of low user activity when the community was less engaged. A more opportune time to present the proposal may have led to more community involvement and engagement.

Lessons Learned

Although the AIP-232 proposal failed to pass, the ApeCoin community can learn from this experience. Firstly, clear and concise communication is critical for technical documents, ensuring that every member of the community can comprehend it. Using simple, plain language can aid in communicating the proposal’s intent and details effectively.
Secondly, it is crucial to provide detailed and realistic plans when proposing a new project. The community needs to know costs, who will implement and maintain the project, and the expected outcome.
Lastly, keep in mind the timing of presenting proposals. Researching when the community is most active and engaged may lead to more participation and engagement.

Conclusion

The AIP-232 proposal for the establishment of a multilingual information center, Apeverse, failed to pass due to several reasons, including poor communication, doubts around feasibility, and poor timing. The ApeCoin community can learn valuable lessons from this experience. It is essential to convey proposals with clear and concise communication using straightforward language.
