It is interesting to see Crypto and NFT projects living through the bear market.  They are not ready to give up.  They continue to persevere waiting for their time.

With the passing of AIP-196, Bored AIP are bringing in reliability and order through ecosystem decentralization. Those who have the drive and skill to take Web3 forward can try to have their ideas funded by the Apecoin DAO.
