Apollo Inu Whitepaper: Archived Summary
The original Apollo Inu whitepaper was hosted on a documentation subdomain (docs.apollocrypto.org) and has not been preserved by the Wayback Machine. This page reconstructs its main points from the project's FAQ, launch announcement and press material.
Welcome and overview
Apollo Inu presented itself as a community-run token whose purpose was to fund emerging creators: artists, photographers, musicians and content creators without the money or connections to make their passion a career. The token holders, organised as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), would decide who received funding.
Token design
- ERC-20 token on Ethereum, launched January 12, 2022.
- 2 trillion tokens minted, 1 trillion sent to a burn wallet; no further minting possible.
- 6% transaction fee: 3% reflection to holders, 2% burn, 1% Creator Prize Fund.
- No presale, early access or team allocation (team statement).
Governance and the Creator Contest
Each week creators could be nominated. Holders connected a self-custody wallet to the DAO site and voted, either on-chain (paying gas) or with a free signed message stored on IPFS. Results, including nominees, voters and the vote hash, were published to IPFS and anchored on-chain. See how contests worked.
Liquidity and security
The FAQ pointed holders to the whitepaper's liquidity section for lock details and stated that the contract had been audited by Soken. The audit report itself is not preserved in this archive.
How it compares with what happened
The governance and contest mechanics described in the docs were implemented and used during 2022. The long-term promise of a self-sustaining creator fund was not delivered: by 2023 the focus had moved to gaming, and in 2024 the token itself was replaced. See why Apollo Crypto failed.
