[DAO/Partnership] Apebond Integration & Revenue Sharing (TEMP CHECK)

Author: @LP17 – @BIMLabs
Date: 17/02/2026

Summary of the Proposal

This TEMP CHECK aims to gather community sentiment on establishing a strategic partnership between BIM and ApeBound, including:

  • Integration of Apebond via SDK directly into BIM Exchange

  • Creation of a dedicated “Bonds” interface (e.g., “Bonds”)

  • Revenue-sharing mechanism: 30% of volumes generated via BIM routed to the BIM DAO treasury

If community feedback is positive, a formal BIP will be submitted for Snapshot vote to approve implementation.

Context

During a previous DAO vote, BIM utilized the Apebond mechanism to structure a discounted token sale with short vesting.

Apebond is a platform that enables projects to raise capital by offering tokens at a discount in exchange for a vesting commitment.

This mechanism allows:

  • Projects to raise funds without immediate sell pressure

  • Users to acquire tokens at a discount

  • Structured token distribution with predefined vesting

The proposal now is to formalize this relationship and move from a one-off usage to a strategic integration.

Proposal Details

1. Strategic Partnership

  • Apebond becomes an official partner of BIM

  • BIM becomes an official ecosystem partner of ApeBound

  • Co-branding and ecosystem collaboration

2. Technical Integration

  • Integration of Apebond via SDK into BIM Exchange

  • Dedicated interface tab labeled “Bonds”

  • Direct bonding functionality embedded inside BIM Exchange

  • Compatibility limited to chains supported by both parties

The goal is seamless UX: users stay within the BIM environment while accessing bonding opportunities.

3. Revenue Model

ApeBound proposes:

  • 30% of volumes generated through BIM integration

  • Revenue sent directly to the BIM DAO treasury wallet

This creates:

  • A new recurring revenue stream for the DAO

  • Additional protocol sustainability

  • Alignment with BIM’s vision of becoming a DeFi-native, value-generating platform

4. Strategic Rationale

This integration supports BIM’s positioning as:

  • A DeFi-first platform

  • A revenue-generating DAO

  • A protocol expanding beyond simple exchange mechanics

It strengthens:

  • DAO treasury growth

  • Ecosystem partnerships

Risks & Considerations

  • Smart contract integration risk (SDK Apebond )

  • Dependency on ApeBound’s long-term viability

  • Potential perception impact if bonded projects underperform

  • UX complexity if not well designed

A full technical and legal assessment would be included in the formal BIP phase.

If this TEMP CHECK receives positive feedback, a formal on-chain governance proposal (BIP) will be drafted and submitted via Snapshot with full implementation details, treasury routing specifics, and integration timeline.

Integrating ApeBond via an official SDK directly into the BIM Exchange interface is a strategic move that transforms our platform from a simple utility into a comprehensive, revenue-generating ecosystem. The proposal’s revenue-sharing model, which routes 30% of generated volumes back to the BIM DAO treasury, creates a sustainable financial foundation that strengthens our protocol’s long-term viability without relying on outside capital. By embedding the “Bonds” interface directly into the BIM environment, we significantly improve the user experience (UX) and security, as community members can access discounted $BIM and structured vesting opportunities without the friction or risk of navigating external sites. While we must remain mindful of the smart contract risks associated with any new SDK integration, the alignment between ApeBond’s capital-raising mechanism and BIM’s vision for a DeFi-first platform makes this partnership a clear net positive for both treasury growth and ecosystem expansion.

I’m Fully in supportive of this direction.
Partnerships like this can strengthen BIM’s ecosystem and create real long-term value for the DAO.

Adam Head of BD from Apebond here :slight_smile:

From our side, we’re excited about the potential to move from a one-off collaboration into a deeper, product-level integration with BIM. Embedding the ApeBond SDK directly into the BIM Exchange and creating a native Bonds interface is very aligned with how we think about distribution, meeting users where they already are and reducing friction around capital formation.

To confirm clearly for the DAO:
We are aligned in principle with the proposed revenue-sharing model, including routing 30% of volumes generated through the BIM integration back to the BIM DAO treasury. We view this as a long-term alignment mechanism rather than a short-term integration, ensuring that both ecosystems benefit as usage grows.

More broadly, we believe bonding infrastructure works best when embedded directly inside partner ecosystems. BIM has already demonstrated thoughtful usage of the mechanism, and we see strong potential in turning that into a sustainable, recurring treasury growth engine for the DAO.

Happy to stay engaged in the thread and answer any questions from the community as discussion evolves.
