The Mystery edition will cost $35 and the Premium edition will cost $100, with the latter containing greater benefits and a shot at getting seemingly better NFTs. The top comment from user @sxtvik has 1,649 likes at the time of writing and simply states: “Pay your writers, and stop cash-grabbing Web3.” Another user sarcastically wrote: “Wow , the Flash traveled back to 2021,” in reference to the manic NFT bull market of that year, while @Simon_Goldberg suggested that Warner Bros. needs to “fire” whoever is running their Web3 department.

Yuga Labs’ Otherside ‘audacious’ vision for Bored Ape Yacht Club

With the floor price of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs tanking significantly in 2023, Yuga Labs CEO Daniel Alegra has emphasized that the firm is working hard to build out its Otherside metaverse project. Speaking at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference on July 13, Alegra kept his cards close to his chest but outlined that Yuga’s plans for Otherside are “audacious,” and as such, will “take time,” to come to fruition. So far, Otherside has only been available for a couple of early access trips for the BAYC community, and it remains to be seen when the project will officially launch.

Providing a little more information, Alegre said that Otherside will “bring communities together” and “bring new and innovative Web3-based experiences starting with gaming.” “As an NFT holder, you will be able to participate in drawing what we’re building, which is this Otherside metaverse,” he said.

The funding round was led by Spark Capital and included participation from NBA and Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant’s venture capital firm, 35 Ventures and Google’s Gradient Ventures, to name a few. The Roi app enables users to track their stock, crypto and NFT holdings all in one place, as it can compile balances from a host of crypto/Web3 wallets to give the user a clear picture of their net worth.
