Community Ape Fund

Community Ape Fund

Introducing the Ape Fund, $10,000 seeded from the DAO to be used to buy options, directed by the community through discord voting. Could we lose all the money, yes, but it's about the friends we make along the way right? At the start of every two weeks, the community has 12 hours to decide whether to buy calls or puts for the next period and vote, after that a similar vote takes place to decide what strikes to buy in the next 12 hours. The result will be two options positions, a call or a put for a dedicated strike for each of the weekly expiries.

Details:

  • ETH market only
  • Start with buy calls, puts, hold until expiry only
  • A vote then takes place for what type of option + which strike price should be purchased for each of the 2 weeks
  • 50% of the fund is allocated every 2 weeks
  • Go live in discord to purchase the options

In the future:

  • Multiple markets, more complex strategies
  • Diversification
  • Elected community fund managers
  • Maybe ~ people can put their own funds in a contract to be managed. Consider this as an experiment.
