Winemakers, welcome to our October ‘22 recap!
This month was packed with events and updates.
We traveled to Colombia for the Devcon & ETHBogota conference, where we sponsored a Hackathon and organized a rooftop event with Sismo, which saw a high attendee rate.
Most importantly, the Introduction to 2.0 was released, where we informed in detail about the scope of the coming advancements. Let’s jump into all that mixed with sideline happenings!

2.0 is Coming
On October 31, we released an in-depth piece on the advancements coming with the next iteration of the protocol, code-named 2.0.
To make the protocol an effortless money lego with the rest of DeFi, we doubled down on research and implementation of the following features into the protocol & our flagship app:
🟣 UI Revamp
🟣 Yield Token
🟣 L2 P2P Yield Market
🟣 Revenue Models
🟣 Built-in Zaps & Bridges
🟣 ERC-4626, 2616 & EIP-5095
🟣 LPing = Single Stake, Autocomp. & more!

Devcon & ETHBogota
We went to the Devcon & ETHBogota conference in Bogota, Colombia to showcase APWine to an international audience and make new connections.
It went fruitful, to say at least! Our catchy booth got the attention of hundreds of attendees, including industry experts who stopped by to learn more or discuss possible synergies.
During ETHBogota, we sponsored a hackathon that challenged developers to come up with projects utilizing our APWine protocol. The trick is to build it in a pretty short time frame!
Numerous teams submitted their projects, with three of them winning a piece of our $7K prize pool: APWinery, SlothyFi & nocadena.
Gaspard also had the opportunity to judge the Hackathon's main prize pool, cementing his image as an expert in Ethereum's builders' space.
The number of submissions increases each event as we provide developers with close support, resources, and exposure to the winners, which is an extra incentive to build with us.
On October 10th, we organized with Sismo the hottest event in Bogota at that time, a rooftop event for nearly 200 people. The place was packed with users, builders & investors, and it was an excellent opportunity to put our name out to the international crowds.
Liquid Locker
In early September, a liquid locker for APW has launched at Stake DAO, allowing holders to maximize yield and voting power while keeping their funds liquid at all times through staking their APW.
Later in October, the proposal by Gaspard to add APW Liquid Locker to the SDT gauge (which would provide APW stakers with extra yield) has been voted against by a large SDT stakeholder.
While we are trying to work this out with the Stake DAO team, APW stakers can still enjoy all the benefits of the liquid locker.
Web3 DNA
In late September in Paris, we organized an IRL event for Web3 builders, investors and tech enthusiasts called Web3 DNA.
The headcount exceeded our projections, with people pouring in to hear about the stuff we build. T
his event was co-sponsored with our friends at Sismo, Angle, Morpho, and Paladin. Given the levels of interest during the first edition of Web3 DNA, we plan to make it a more regular event at more spacy venues.
Keep an eye on the subsequent editions by following this Twitter account.
IRL Community-Run Event
On 25th October, we saw the first community-run IRL meetup about APWine, where our passionate contributors Gaetan Semp & Cyrille spread the word about our project to the local audience and broadcasted it to the world.
Would you like to host an APWine meetup in your city and need support? Let us know via Discord :)
ETHGlobal's Online Hackathon Winners
APWine was one of the pillar sponsors of the biggest Ethereum online hackathons in which developers from across the world competed for prizes.
We've seen multiple submissions, with Napier Finance & NFTD Stablecoin winning $2.5K & $5K of our APW prize pool, respectively. What's more, a No Cost Subscription project that also utilizes APWine made it to the Hackathon's finalists!
Read about the winners here.
It's becoming abundantly clear to us that more and more builders are excited to build with our tech stack, given the increasing amount of viewers our online workshops receive.
APIP 6 & APGP 16
On October 31, Gaspard submitted two proposals, APIP 6 & APGP 16, on APWine’s governance forum pertaining to the retirement of the V1 pools & V1 incentives respectively.
The objective of APIP 6 is to reduce the significant maintenance costs for the flagship app combined with the complexity of 1.0’s contracts, which will soon be obsolete.
APGP 16 suggesting the retirement of V1 incentives could result in less dilution of the current holders while saving treasury reserves that could be used as incentives in the next protocol iteration.
Join the discussion and let us know what you think about these proposals!
