Bored Ape Yacht Club

The most popular NFT project is called Bored Ape Yacht Club, a.k.a. BAYC. The collection comprises a set of 10,000 Ethereum tokens, each representing a vacant-looking ape with a different trait, such as a hat, fur, or facial accessory. 

Launched in April 2021 by Yuga Labs, holding a Bored Ape provides access to an exclusive Discord community and, occasionally, real-world parties. 

The NFTs quickly became popular replacements for profile pictures on crypto’s watering hole, Twitter . Celebrities and socialites aped in, including Paris Hilton, Eminem, Jimmy Fallon, and Justin Bieber. 

Like all NFTs, Bored Apes are resold on secondary markets, the most popular of which is OpenSea. They have sold for several hundreds of thousands of dollars, and sometimes for millions ; rarer traits command higher prices.

The highest sale occurred in September 2021, when a solid gold Bored Ape sold through auction house Sotheby’s NFT marketplace for $3.4 million. Minters had paid just 0.08 ETH for each Bored Ape, at the time worth about $235, just five months earlier during a public launch that took several days to sell out.

Yuga Labs has given Bored Ape holders extra NFTs, including some from its dog-themed NFT collection called Bored Ape Kennel Club and another BAYC-related collection, Mutant Ape Yacht Club. A decentralized autonomous organization linked to Yuga Labs, ApeCoin DAO, also distributed fungible APE tokens to Bored Ape holders, which were needed to buy plots of land in the company’s not-yet-released metaverse game, Otherside.

BAYC holders have also sold these free tokens for enormous profits on secondary markets. They have also eked out more cash by licensing them out or launching businesses centered around their Bored Apes like restaurants, product labels, and even a not-yet-released sitcom .

While skeptics say Bored Apes and other high profile NFTs are nothing more than glorified JPEGs, boosters say they are a new frontier for art and intellectual property.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club Explained

Historically, NFTs date all the way back to when digital artist Kevin McCoy minted the first NFT art named Quantum in 2014 on the Namecoin blockchain. Since then, hundreds of thousands of NFTs have been minted on Ethereum and other blockchains. NFTs can be a piece of art, GIFs, animation, videos, photographs, music, journals, domain names, etc.

NFTs went mainstream in 2021 and became a recognized niche in the decentralized space. This ushered in many investors as individual creators and companies started launching their NFT projects. One of such companies is Yuga Labs, a blockchain company specializing in NFTs that developed the notable Bored Ape Yacht Club – BAYC. 

What is the Bored Ape Yacht Club?

The Bored Ape Yacht Club is a collection of 10,000 unique Bored Ape NFTs minted on the Ethereum blockchain. Each unique Bored Ape doubles as a membership card to the Yacht Club, making the club exclusive to Bored Apes’ holders. 

When the NFT collection was launched on April 29, 2021, the sales were initially sluggish until May 1, when a notable NFT trader, Pranksy , purchased many Apes. He then informed his followers on Twitter, and his tweets led to selling out within twelve hours, making it to be available for sales afterward on the marketplace where NFTs are publicly traded.

All Apes are unique, but some are rarer than others based in their attributes. Each Bored Ape is algorithmically created from over 170 potential attributes, including expression and wearables like clothing and accessories. For example, the collection has various furs, clothing, jewelry, facial expression, and others. Only 115 Bored Apes have a cross earring, 49 have daggers in their mouth, and 108 have cybernetic eyes as part of their unique traits.

Why are Bored Apes Worth So Much? 

The launch price for Bored Apes was pegged at a fair price of 0.08 ETH – about $190 at that time – so no Ape costed more than others, irrespective of their traits. Three months later, NFTs started gaining more ground, increasing their value.

Then the crypto summer bull run emerged and the price of Bored Ape NFTs shot up by over 400% during August 2021. At the time of writing, the current market cap of BAYC is $1,088,809.041.22 with a 24 hour trading volume of $54,643,948.40 at a floor price of 66.9 ETH each, equivalent to $108,880.90.

The floor price is not necessarily the general price for all Bored Apes; it can be regarded as the lowest price of Bored Apes on the open marketplace where they are listed for sales. Currently, the most expensive Bored Ape is listed at 99,999,999,999,999 ETH which is equivalent to $163,436,999,999,998,370. Some are listed at around 7,000 ETH, 5,000 ETH, 3,000 ETH, etc.

A total of 6,454 unique owners currently hold the 10,000 NFTs in this collection.

Who is Behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club?

BAYC was created by Yuga Labs and co-founded by Wylie Aronow and Greg Solano. The duo was popularly known by their pseudonyms Gordon Goner and Gargamel . They later enlist Kerem aka No Sass, and Zeshan aka Emperor Tomato Ketchup, to form the BAYC in late April 2021. 

Kerem and Zeshan were software engineers, while Gordon Goner and Gargamel were both artists; Gargamel had a Master of Fine Art (MFA) and Gordon Goner dropped out of MFA for health reasons.

Who Drew the Bored Apes?

Unknown to many enthusiasts, the quartet of BAYC were not the designers behind BAYC; they only birthed the idea. An Asian-American artist Seneca, popularly known as All Seeing Seneca , drew the primary characters.

Though she wasn’t familiar with NFTs, Yuga Labs accommodated her and gave her their concept to develop a character. Yuga Labs wanted “Punk Apes” but had no idea what it would look like. 

How BAYC Maintains Relevance 

The BAYC, ever since its launch, has kept its entire community engaged with captivating activities to keep the club alive, rather than boring those who aped (jumped) into their project. Below are the periodical new elements released to its ecosystem to engage members and keep an OG status.

The Bathroom

The bathroom is the first significant engagement with club members. It is a digital replica of a private physical planning board or whiteboard where members can freely write whatever comes to their minds on the wall. The concept behind this private bathroom is to create a shared digital canvas where club members can draw on it, so the bathroom is exclusive to members only.  

The Bored Ape Kennel Club – BAKC

Another intriguing engagement is the dog adoption concept, where each Ape can freely adopt a canine so they don’t feel bored and lonely in the swamp. The Kennel Club allows every Ape to adopt a dog from its club as a companion for free – excluding the gas fee. The offer ran for a week in June 2021, where members who signed up for this adoption got their respective distribution at the end of the adoption period.

About 96% of Bored Ape holders adopted a dog companion , and the remaining 400 unadopted dogs were left to the swamp for extinction. Since then, these dog NFTs have also been listed on marketplaces since they are no more available in the Kennel club.

There are 9,602 dogs’ NFTs with 5,550 owners and a floor price of 6.95 ETH –$11,501.83. At the time of writing, BAKC has a market cap of 66,733.9 ETH –$110,440,581.81– while the most expensive NFT in this club is listed at 5,000ETH –equivalent to $8,161,700– on OpenSea.

The BAKC collection incorporates charity donations into NFTs, with the 2.5% royalty fee placed for six weeks after launch. Funds from the royalty fee were donated to animal charities like the Orangutan Outreach, as announced by the BAYC official Twitter handle in August 2021. 

The Mutant Ape Yacht Club – MAYC

Another captivating model for engaging the BAYC members that was introduced to the ecosystem is the Mutant serum airdrop. A snapshot of Bored Ape holders was taken on August 8, 2021, and each holder was airdropped with a Mutant serum vial . 

A collection of 10,000 Mutant Apes was already auctioned and sold out before the mutation began. The mutation was a way of showing gratitude to BAYC members who minted Mutant Apes for free with their serums. The serums airdropped were M1, M2, and M3, where the Bored Apes could only use each vial once.

The M1 and M2 serums mutated Bored Apes into Mutant Apes with traces of the original Bored Ape traits. The M3 vial mutated the Bored Ape into an unrecognizable Mutant. Alongside the 10,000 previously minted Mutant Apes, this sums up the 20,000 collections of Mutant Ape NFTs , and the Mutant Ape Yacht Club was created therein.

The MAYC members comprise the previous BAYC members and the holders or investors of the newly released 10,000 Mutant Apes. Currently, MAYC has 19,425 NFTs and 12,962 unique holders with a market cap of 23,100 ETH –$386,166,291.95 – and a floor price of 12 ETH –$19,879.86.  

What Makes BAYC Valuable

Celebrity holders.

Celebrities have become a significant game-changer in the crypto/NFTs industry, doubling as media influencers for projects. An example is the Pranksy tweets that led to a substantial sale of the Bored Ape NFTs. Many celebrities have since acquired this NFT and flaunt them in the media.

Examples include:

• Justin Bieber
• Shaquille O’Neal
• Paris Hilton
• Jimmy Fallon
• Travis Barker

Community Strength

Community plays an essential role in the success of many projects in the blockchain industry. A project’s community doubles as its foot soldier and influencers. BAYC meet-ups have been held in Hong Kong, New York, California, and the United Kingdom.

Membership Benefits

Another factor that made the BAYC valuable is its utility to its NFT holders, such as membership to the club, the bathroom access, and free NFTs and membership to the BAKC and MAYC. As the Yuga Labs team keeps working tirelessly to create other utilities, existing members have a lot to benefit from future projects. An example of this is the ApeCoin tokens distributed to Bored and Mutant Apes holders.

Bored Ape holders got 10,094 $APE for each NFT, while Mutant Ape holders received 2,042 $APE. Imagine if a holder is holding multiple NFTs of both collections.

Other Projects by Yuga Labs

Yuga Labs started its blockchain/crypto journey in less than two years, and the company is currently worth billions of dollars. Their success can be ascribed to working tirelessly to keep reeling out captivating blockchain/crypto and NFT projects.

Among their other projects are the $APE cryptocurrency and Otherside Metaverse alongside its Otherdeed NFTs.

Here’s what’s behind the fall of the Bored Ape Yacht Club

The floor price of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) has fallen by 64% since its high of May 1 last year. But what exactly is going on with the world’s most popular NFT collection?

For starters, BAYC’s decline has coincided with an overall dip in the NFT market. However, all things considered, the collection actually held up pretty well compared to most other Ethereum-based NFT projects. Indeed, many massively-hyped projects, such as Mekaverse or Moonbirds, have endured spectacular crashes. Moonbirds, for example, is 90% down on its previous high.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin Ordinal market has been soaring and is gradually stealing the limelight from the Ethereum-based NFT market.

Big dumps by casualties of war

Since the beginning of the year, the newly opened Blur NFT platform has created a trading mania with its tokenized incentives . BAYC was one of the most traded collections, along with the Mutant Ape Yacht Club collection, fuelled by a practice called ‘farming,’ where traders would bid and trade in high volumes with the aim of accumulating Blur tokens.

Many lost a lot of money in this trading mania including entrepreneur Jeffrey Huang, aka Machi Big Brother , who sold his large collection of Bored Apes at a whopping $4.2 million loss. Other traders who regularly bought the Bored Ape dip include Franklinisbored who lost almost $4 million in a Ponzi scheme and subsequently sold most of his collection.

Challenging times for Yuga Labs

One of the founders of Yuga Labs, writer and co-creator of the BAYC, Wylie Aronow announced earlier this year that he’ll be stepping down from his role in the company to focus on his health issues .

Aronow has been dealing with heart problems in recent years and has previously revealed that his health issues have re-emerged. He’s also been battling accusations by academic Todd Fine that his art and work with BAYC was influenced by fascist ideas and contained racist symbolism. An article by Fine explaining his allegations was deleted before CoinDesk published Aronow’s reply .

Late last year, Yuga Labs announced its new CEO, Daniel Alegre who was previously COO at Activision Blizzard. Yuga Labs has raised more than $1 billion on its virtual land sales Otherdeed for Otherside and is currently in the process of fulfilling plans to launch its game. The company also needs to find a use case for its Ape token, which launched last year and is now down 73% .

Luxury rules at the moscow yacht show.

by Maria Sapozhnikova

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.

• Characters and performers    

Act I A small, peaceful village, bathed in sunlight. It is inhabited by simple, artless people. Giselle, a young peasant girl, is re­joicing in the sun, the blue sky, the singing of the birds and, most of all, in the happiness of pure, trusting love which has lit up her life. She is in love and is confident that she is loved. The gamekeeper, who is in love with Giselle, tries in vain to per­suade her that Albrecht, her loved one, is not a peasant at all but a nobleman in disguise and that he is deceiving her. The gamekeeper manages to steal into the cottage which Albrecht is renting in the village and here he finds a silver sword with a coat of arms on it. Now the gamekeeper knows for sure that Albrecht is concealing his noble origins. A party of distinguished noblemen, attended by a sumptuous suite, seek rest and refreshment in the village after the hunt. The peasants give their guests a cordial welcome. Albrecht is embarrassed by this unexpected meeting: he tries to hide the fact he knows them for, in their company, is his betrothed, Bathilde. Meanwhile the gamekeeper shows everyone Albrecht’s sword and, unmasking him, tells them of the latter’s deceit. Giselle is shocked to the core by the perfidy of her loved one. The pure, crystal-clear world of her faith, hopes and dreams has been destroyed. She goes mad and dies. Act II Night-time. The ghostly forms of the Wilis, died brides, appear among the graves of the village church yard which is bathed in moonlight. “Dressed in bridal gowns and garlands of flow­ers...The irresistibly beautiful Wilis danced to the light of the moon. And as they felt the time given them for dancing was running out and that they had again to return to their icy graves, their dancing became more and more impassioned and ra­pid...” (Heinrich Heine). The Wilis catch sight of the gamekeeper who, suffering from pangs of con­science, has come to visit Giselle’s grave. At the command of Myrtha, the unrelenting Queen of the Wilis, the Wilis encircle the gamekeeper and make him dance until he drops lifeless, to the ground. Albrecht too, is unable to forget Giselle. And, at dead of night, he co­mes to her grave. The Wilis immedi­ately encircle the youth. Albrecht is now threatened by the same horrify­ing fate as the gamekeeper. But the shadow of Giselle now appears and her eternal and self-sacrificing love protects and saves Albrecht from the anger of the Wilis. The ghostly, white forms of the Wilis vanish with the first rays of the rising sun. And Giselle’s ethereal shadow va­nishes too, but Giselle will always be alive in Albrecht’s memory — the ever-present regret for a lost love, a love that is stronger than death.

The best golf clubs in moscow: luxury, exclusivity, and entertainment.

By Walter Raymond

February 24, 2015

• The Best Golf Clubs in…

In Russia, the western concept of building architecturally beautiful golf courses filled with modern and luxurious amenities has found fertile ground. What was considered a frivolous pastime during the time of the Soviets has become the latest trend for the stylish set. These days, there are countless options around Moscow to practice golf, polo, ski, yachting, and other sports alongside 5-star hotels, luxurious country houses, and magnificent villas.

The game of golf is a sport that requires passion and expertise. It is also part of a culture that considers this pastime a synonym of social prestige and exclusivity. In recent years, the new Russian elite has turned to golf as a vehicle of integration in the era of globalization. Golf courses are also meeting and socializing spaces where Muscovite tycoons can relax and also seal business deals.

Golf Courses in Russia

The Moscow Country Club, Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club, Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club, and Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia are some of the most exclusive and elegant golf courses in Russia. Some of them have made it to the list of Top 15 golf clubs in the world, a source of great prestige for the country.

Moscow Country Club Moscow Country Club

The first 18-hole golf course built in Russia, Moscow Country Club, hosts the exclusive PGA European Tour. Located just eight miles from the city center, this luxurious facility was created by architect Robert Trent Jones Jr . The design takes advantage of a typical Russian birch and spruce forest to provide a natural environment of extraordinary beauty.

Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club

The Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is 18 miles from the heart of Moscow, close to historical monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Designed by famed architects Paul and Dave Thomas , this 18-hole course is part of a complex that includes a yacht club, an equestrian center, and a health and wellness facility. Pestovo Golf & Yacht Club is Russia’s version of a classic country club with multiple attractions.

Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club Tseleevo Golf & Polo Club

This park is among the best in Eastern Europe and was awarded the 2014 World Golf Award as the best golf course in Russia. Located 25 miles from Moscow, it is part of a vast complex featuring an 18-hole golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus , a polo club and a mountain ski club with four tracks. The design combines classic Scottish, Alpine, and English features in a dreamy landscape.

Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia Zavidovo Golf Club, PGA National Russia

Less than 60 miles from Moscow, this golf course with a definite Scottish design is the only one in Russia recognized as a PGA (Professional Golfers’ Association) from Britain and Ireland. Located in an ecologically pristine area on the banks of the Volga River, the Zavidovo Golf Club embodies the spirit and appearance of the legendary Scottish golf courses. Its many springs and streams, hills, forests, swamps and lakes justify its reputation as a very demanding circuit. Last year, it entered the exclusive club of the 15 best golf courses in the world.   ■
