This designation recognizes Blaqclouds as part of the Made by Ape community, a unique Web3 licensing platform created by Yuga Labs that enables holders of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) NFTs to legally commercialize their Ape-based projects under an authenticated license.
Why is this Made by Ape Authorized Licensee Important?
Funding opportunities
* LFG Ventures: An initiative within ApeChain, LFG Ventures provides funding to promising MBA-licensed projects and businesses. The initiative is designed to be sustainable, covering its own expenses through DeFi strategies while offering funding, often in exchange for revenue-sharing agreements.
* Swamproots Builder Initiative: As part of the ApeCo, the Swamproots Builder Initiative funds on-chain projects that help create a sustainable future for ApeChain and the ApeCoin community. The initiative funds a diverse range of projects from dApps to gaming, with funding distributed as grantees complete key milestones.
* ApeCoin ApeChain Grants: Made by Apes businesses can directly apply for funding through the official ApeChain proposal process (APPs). This decentralized process allows community members to vote on which projects receive funding from the ApeChain treasury.
* Delegated ApeCoin: In September 2024, Yuga Labs announced it would delegate 6.5 million $APE to Made by Apes license holders once ApeChain goes live. In Q3 2025, ApeCo went live. This delegation gives MBA builders a greater voice within the ApeChain ecosystem.
* Legitimacy & Compliance: As an approved licensee, Blaqclouds can safely use the Made by Ape branding in its products and marketing, assuring users that the company is recognized in the BAYC and MAYC ecosystem.
* Transparency & Authenticity: Licenses are recorded on-chain, and licensees appear in the “Bodega” directory, which functions as a public registry of vetted Ape-based projects.
