YEAR OF THE FIRE HORSE: Lunar New Year Lights Up The Timeline And Otherside!

The Year of the Fire Horse is off to a hot start as the Otherside and the timeline were transformed for Lunar New Year!

From the swamp to the igloo, red envelopes, lanterns, and fireworks were everywhere on Tuesday as NFT projects celebrated the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse.

 

“Bid farewell to the old and welcome the new,” the Meebits tweeted. “May the coming year bring you light and love, hope and fulfillment. May all your wishes come true, and may every path you take be smooth and unobstructed.”

 

As the timeline filled with Lunar New Year posts, the Otherside was also transformed into a Lantern Festival, with massive Fire Horse fireworks exploding above the Koda temple every few seconds.

Along with the festivities, Amazon’s Otherside avatar Boximus also received a cosmetic upgrade that left Voyagers absolutely glowing.

 

Jumped into @OthersideMeta today and the community showed up in STYLE,” Amazon Gaming’s Head of Business Development William Morris wrote. “Absolutely loving these Lunar New Year skin upgrades - the detail on these is incredible. Our Boximus drop earlier this year was just the beginning. “

The Year of the Fire Horse represents courage, passion, and speed, which are all qualities that feel especially fitting for Web3 right now as AI agents and vibe coding rapidly reshape both crypto and the internet at large.

With that in mind, builders and collectors alike are stepping into 2026 ready to experiment, ship faster, and embrace new technology across the space!

The Gazette wishes everyone a Happy Lunar New Year and can’t wait to report on everything happening around the Bored Ape Yacht Club and beyond throughout 2026. Stay tuned for updates!
