what's bored ape yacht club?

The Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) is a prominent NFT collection created by Yuga Labs, consisting of 10,000 unique cartoon ape profile pictures generated algorithmically on the Ethereum blockchain using the ERC-721 standard. Launched in April 2021, it functions as a digital membership club, granting owners exclusive access to private online communities, in-person events like ApeFest, and commercial rights to use their ape images for personal or business purposes. The project has expanded into related collections such as Mutant Ape Yacht Club and Bored Ape Kennel Club, and it powers the broader Otherside metaverse ecosystem. ApeCoin ($APE), the native token of the ApeCoin DAO governed by Yuga Labs, supports the ecosystem with utilities in gaming, events, and governance. BAYC has attracted celebrity endorsements from figures like Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg, achieving over $1 billion in sales and valuing Yuga Labs at $4 billion in 2022. Recent developments include cross-chain expansions like ApeCoin on BNB Chain and HyperEVM, merchandise collaborations at ApeFest, and institutional interest such as platforms using BAYC NFTs in rewards pools.
