Delegation groups are becoming popular in the ApeCoin DAO. The chart below compares the percentage of delegated voting power relative to the overall voting power for each proposal that completed the Live Voting period on Snapshot.

The next Ape Assembly meeting is scheduled for 8/2 @ 10 AM PST. There is also a vote live on the Ape Assembly Snapshot Space to determine who should be responsible for the weekly and bi-weekly tasks of the Assembly.

• At least one internally elected representative to take on these tasks now

  OR

• Having the Governance Working Group handle this for 2 months

This vote closes in just over 24 hours. The results are shielded until the vote closes and there have only been 21 people who have voted so far.

AIP-279 (Bored Apes Storm Hollywood) from this past week had a voting power of over 10.6 million tokens. This is the highest amount in the past two months and the 8th-highest of all-time.
