The Mutant Ape Yacht Club_HaoZeng_MiniProject2_ExtraCredit

    Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC), a non-fungible token (NFT) offshoot collection of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection, is comprised of 20,000 unique Mutant Ape digital art images. Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is an extension of the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection. The rarity of the Mutant Apes, the collection’s exclusive community access and unique membership perks have made MAYC a popular NFT collection. With its active community, ambitious roadmap, strong team and growing list of partnerships, MAYC may continue to accrue value over time. After selling out, BAYC quickly became one of the most prominent and popular NFT collections. Yuga Labs largely attributed the success of the collection to the highly engaged community that formed around it. As a way to show their appreciation for their community, the Yuga Labs team delivered on the first phase of their project roadmap with the launch of MAYC, a new collection inspired by, and in part derived from, the BAYC collection. While MAYC was primarily a reward for existing BAYC holders, the project also aimed to welcome newcomers into the established BAYC community. The first 10,000 Mutant Apes sold raised $96 million within an hour of their launch. The remaining 10,000 Mutants were created from ‘Mutant Serums,’ airdropped to existing BAYC holders.
