THE BORED APE GAZETTE

Adam Weitsman’s hunt for the last Mega Mutant Serum continues, and while the longtime Bored Ape Yacht Club member and HV-MTL owner knows who has it, he hasn’t acquired it…yet. On Monday, Weitsman stopped by BAYC member Johnny Bitcoin’s “Mutant Mondays” TikTok show, where he gave listeners an update on his pursuit of the final vial of the potent elixir. “There’s that one serum that’s still out there, that’s what I’ve been working on and trying to find,” he said. “I took forev

Ape in and stay a while! Turn up the lo-fi beats and kick back around the swamp! The Bored Ape Yacht Club is celebrating five years onchain with a new chair emote that lets holders quite literally take a seat anywhere on the Otherside and soak it all in. “Pull up a chair. A new emote just landed in @othersidemeta,” Yuga Labs tweeted from the BAYC account. “If you hold a BAYC or MAYC, it’s live now - head to your profile, open the Avatar tab, and add it to your emote wheel.”

On this day four years ago, the blockchain practically stopped as Bored Ape Yacht Club members and non-members alike rushed to mint 55,000 Otherdeeds for 305 $Ape, or about $7,320 USD, in what became one of the biggest gas wars in crypto history. At the time, people paid upwards of 2.5 ETH, roughly $7,000 USD, just to get their transactions through. If you were there, you remember it. If you weren’t, you missed something truly insane. “A lot has changed since then. A lot is s

Apes and CoinDesk are frens again after Yuga Labs’ new CEO, Michael Figge, hopped on a call with the media outlet’s president to discuss how they cover the NFT space.

Things are anything but boring around the swamp after Michael Figge called out CoinDesk for what he describes as years of pay for play journalism of sorts, alleging glowing coverage for supporters and hit pieces on the entire industry at large! “Over the past few years, I’ve woken up to random @CoinDesk articles shitting on our industry, and specifically NFTs. That alone wouldn't bother me. Criticism is healthy. The press should hold this space accountable,” he tweeted. “But

This is Yuga’s Grails OTC. On Tuesday, Yuga Labs announced that its all new over the counter trading desk is officially open for business, aiming to help onboard collec

Summer camp is starting early around the swamp as ApeCoin invites everyone to sign up for its five week vibecoding camp! Attention campers, excuse me, Voyagers!

Five weeks of building inside @OthersideMeta ,” ApeChai

Scammers are everywhere, hackers are getting more sophisticated, and Yuga Labs isn’t taking any chances when it comes to the Otherside.
