$GUI is the unofficial community, utility, and social token that the whole Aptos ecosystem from every vertical will utilize. The token is designed to bring out the degen side of the users and leverage that. We will push the initiatives and ideas of developers and creators in the Aptos community.
GUI Inu ($GUI) could have been called just another meme token in the vast digital space of cryptocurrencies. Still, our core fundamental for $GUI revolves around rewarding the whole Aptos ecosystem while bringing back the vibes that Aptos had around its mainnet launch. As every blockchain and its ecosystem does, Aptos has seen the calm for a few months before the storm, and $GUI is bringing the storm with a breath of fresh air into the token side of Aptos.
GUI has amassed amazing support from a set of initial private Chad investors who are aligned with our vision and goals and were happy to share the initial support. They are from inside and outside of the Aptos ecosystem, and their inputs in every path we take to the point we reached here have helped shape GUI as the community token we want to see.
The Context. Why $GUI?
The Aptos community needs a community token. A token that creates waves while not only holding the degen side but also helping push the creators, innovators, and developers in the Aptos space. And this has to be done by a set of people who know Aptos through and through.
There was a meticulous procedure of choosing the communities that get rewarded with GUI for sticking around in the worst times with the founding teams that never gave up despite the conditions all around. Aptos came into life after the FTX Collapse saga. It wasn’t a smooth sail for projects after the initial Aptos airdrop that led to volumes in NFTs for a couple of months. A few communities and projects stood through these tough times, and we wanted to help them realize this is just the beginning of the good times.
We are not here to save Aptos. Aptos doesn’t need saving. The recent partnerships and technological advancements Aptos has made on its blockchain network have been superior to several competing blockchains. So, GUI is here only to make it evident among peers with delusional thoughts elsewhere that Aptos has one of the best ecosystems out there. It’s just the beginning, and while GUI might sit right there as a meme coin, every initiative that someone on Aptos takes will get support from GUI and the holders of GUI.
The Airdrop. Who and why?
As a gesture of appreciation for their unwavering support, loyal Aptos users and NFT holders are eligible for a special airdrop of GUI Tokens. This airdrop serves as a recognition of their commitment to the Aptos ecosystem and an acknowledgment of their pivotal role in its growth and success. The airdrop is not just a token distribution; it symbolizes a bond between Aptos projects and their most dedicated supporters. This gesture is designed to strengthen the community, fostering a sense of belonging and reinforcing the idea that the success of Aptos is intrinsically tied to the passion and loyalty of its user base.
Beyond the immediate benefits of the airdrop, GUI Token aims to empower long-term Aptos users by providing them with new opportunities within the ecosystem. Whether through governance mechanisms, staking, or participation in exclusive events, GUI Token holders will enjoy privileges that reflect their status as stalwart supporters of Aptos. This initiative underscores Aptos’ commitment to creating a sustainable and rewarding ecosystem where every user, especially the veterans, plays a vital role in shaping its future.
NFT communities are to be rewarded with the GUI token airdrop, and it includes not just the OG collections, including Aptos Monkeys, AptoRobos, Aptomingos, Mavrik, Spooks, Bruh Bears, but many other collections that our social channels highlighted in different tiers. GUI has kept it fair for every Aptos NFT user who held multiple NFTs because of their conviction for the blockchain and the NFT projects here.
Apart from this, long-term Aptos users who created volumes will also be eligible for the GUI airdrop. We’ve collected curated data from the protocols, including but not limited to Pancakeswap, Thala, Liquidswap, Amnis Finance, Aries Markets, Kana Labs, Merkle Trade, and NFT marketplaces.
The Future with GUI Inu
The near future with GUI holds the potential collaborations with the ecosystem partners on Aptos. There are plans to have use cases for $GUI within the entire crypto space, not just Aptos, but for the long-term vision. Aptos has been showing tremendous growth in recent times. GUI would push the narrative with efforts including integrations into dApps, helping with artist recognition, grant programs to projects, incentivized hackathons, community events, and a council-led electoral process that can help make community-guided decisions through decentralized voting. The GUI team will look to build Aptos dApps and ecosystem tools that benefit the current and incoming users of Aptos.
