Bored Ape Yacht Club is joining @LACMA as part of a landmark gift of 200+ works spanning the history of digital art. Eight BAYC and MAYC NFTs were donated through @DigitalArtMove, an initiative originally approved and funded by the ApeCoin DAO. Congrats to everyone involved.

From IRL play with @beijingdou to digital pulls, Mudwater is making it a fun Friday. Seriously, nothing teaches you like actually sitting down with an expert. NYC rip and game night forthcoming.

My ApeFest thoughts and highlights, coming to you a few days late: - It was amazing to see so many familiar faces. There are so many new names on the timeline, I was worried I wouldn't know many people. Total opposite. Felt like a reunion with a bunch of old friends. - The OGs are all getting older. I ran into one of my old colleagues and the first thing he said to me was "You look older!" (Thanks @aloksahay 😅). I know it's not just me though. It's been five years since mint, and many of us now have more greys, more kids, more wrinkles, etc. - That speaks to the value of new blood and onboarding the next generation of apes. The club needs to evolve with crypto culture and the broader culture to stay relevant, and that's something we should embrace. - Absolutely loved the surprise Mudwater drop. Super impressed with everybody @ Yuga and Ape for keeping it so well under wraps. - Thought not doing a keynote was a really smart move by Figge. Return to underpromising and overdelivering. Surprise and delight. - One of my favourite moments was going head to head with @badte_eth for the BAYC trait game championship. We played 11 rounds and he edged me out. But come on, I knew I was cooked as soon as I saw my opposition was the creator of Rara Avis 😅 - Final thought: Muddy's was my favourite venue. Felt like I was in the real life clubhouse there. Would love see more BAYC events in locations like that. Tagging a bunch of friends I appreciated catching up with, even briefly. I know there are others I'm forgetting. Great to see you all. Can't wait till next year @wonk1m @HodlrCollective @CapetainTrippy @Bayc364 @Swickie @peterjfang @carsonturner @veratheape @adventurousape @NGBxShpend @guccheetah @professordilly @_PPMan_ @0xQuit @ryancsmith2222 @spicytinaa @mfigge @seannana @TheeHustleHouse @frostyz @blockchainzilla @spencer @Rahim_mahtab @ChrisJourdan @pm0721 @imjameshall

Mudwater FOR APECHAIN. You say yes. The 1st wave of Mudwater packs for ApeChain is allocated to 50+ NFT communities. Founder outreach is underway. We considered $APE volume, community activity, and ecosystem contributions, w/ bonus packs for creative distribution mechanisms.

I wish I took more photos. I wish I ate more food. I wish we had more time together. Leaving Charleston wishing for more says a lot about what we have here. It's a strong indicator that what we have is special and worth preserving (and protecting). Thank you to @beeple (and team), @mfigge and the entire Yuga team for putting on ApeFest. And to the side event hosts: @morethenhype, @GreenVisorGang, @0xJZhao, @apewhale, @tigerisfine, @ShaniceBest, @NFThoarder888, and so many more...thank you for giving us places to find each other throughout the weekend. Yes, we’ll look at the floor price, ApeCoin’s performance, and Mudwater metrics. That’s called business. But also look at the shared messages, the photos with friends, and the physical mementos you brought home. That’s called life. ApeFest comes once a year and serves as a great reminder that we are the lucky ones. Until next time, keep on wishing. It means we still have something we want to come back to and that we are all still here. bored ape yacht club.

in an era where a cesspool of newly minted bundle rugs are ready to dump on any newcomers to the space plumbers and broccoli heads pray to satoshi for some divinely authored fair launch coins with immaculate distribution it’s not unique to crypto TCGs suffer a similar challenge Costco fights and FedEx heists settle the distribution for the most aura-packed ink on cardboard (blessed the finest provenance) so we tried smthn diff and stealth launched and gave 71% of the total Mudwater supply to the community for free the spirit of early bayc box allocation distribution was designed like a token drop and soon, the limited allocations set aside for other communities will amplify Mudwater further ask around and you’ll find Mudwater being talked about by leadership at collectible card companies our inboxes are full of folks asking how they can buy boxes and cases the thing is we did a Fair Launch TCG (might as well put a ™ after that) and because of the apecoin:native reflection, holders are more aligned with the success of the project too so if you want to stack size you’ll have to acquire it one pack at a time from the apes who have it good luck bored ape yacht club

ApeChain’s block explorer just upgraded. Developed by @yugalabs the new explorer gives us more control to better support Otherside, NFTs, and our communities while reducing operating costs. Explore ON APECHAIN:

People flew in from all over the world. Some came in groups and some came alone. It takes courage to cross a country or a whole ocean. It takes courage to come up and say, “Hey, I don’t think we’ve met." Seeing this happen all the time in Charleston. Apes are courageous. 🤝
