:receipt: Simple Summary

This proposal requests authorization for AITV DAO to launch a 6-month Reserve-Bond program on ApeBond, where community members can exchange stablecoins, ETH, or BTC for discounted $AITV, delivered via vesting NFTs. This program issues up to 20 million AITV (2% of total supply). Fund proceeds (stablecoins / ETH / BTC) go directly into the DAO treasury, helping build a diversified, reserve-asset treasury.

ApeBond:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Motivation

  • Provide a fair, discounted access point for supporters to acquire $AITV.
  • Build a treasury denominated in stablecoins, ETH, and BTC, improving financial stability for DAO.
  • Enable controlled distribution of $AITV (via vesting NFT), while still offering a discount incentive.
  • Use a well-supported, multi-chain, on-chain vesting bonding protocol (ApeBond) — tested and designed for exactly this mode (Reserve Bonds for blue-chip or stable assets).
  • Benefit from ApeBond’s comarketing support to ensure the bonding program receives social interest and visibility.

:gear: Specification

Platform: ApeBond (Reserve Bonds)
Payout Token: $AITV
Accepted Quote Assets: USDC (or other major stablecoins), ETH, BTC
Program Duration: 6 months
Total $AITV Inventory: 20,000,000 $AITV (2% supply)
Bonding Structure:

  • Users supply stablecoin / ETH / BTC → receive a vesting NFT representing discounted $AITV
  • Vesting Schedule: linear over 30 / 60 / 90 days — to be adjusted based on program performance
  • Discount Range: 10–28% depending on demand and bonding parameters
  • Program may have weekly or epoch-based capacity limits to avoid over-concentration and ensure fair distribution

Treasury Handling: All received assets (stablecoins, ETH, BTC) go straight into DAO-controlled treasury multisig.

:light_bulb: Rationale

  • Reserve Bonds offer the cleanest path to raise non-$AITV assets (stablecoins / blue chips) for the DAO — exactly what we need for a durable treasury.
  • The vesting-NFT model encourages long-term alignment and discourages dump-and-run selling.
  • A 6-month period with 2% of supply is large enough to raise meaningful treasury resources but limited enough to not overly dilute tokenomics or flood supply.

Bad idea. It will lead to a big inflation. You want to sell 20 million tokens. Never !

AITV is rolling out and I think it’s might be a welcome development. I know that NFTs have sometimes left people disappointed, but I believe AITV is using this as an opportunity to grow and bring in other assets. This means more stability and a stronger community in the long run plus, it opens doors for more engagement with the ApeBond community and other partners, which is great for growth.

Please specify which other stablecoins besides USDC will be accepted for treasury risk transparency
