what's mutant ape yacht club?
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is an NFT collection on the Ethereum blockchain, created by Yuga Labs as an extension of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). It consists of 20,000 unique mutant apes generated by applying one of three mutant serums to existing Bored Apes or by minting new ones directly. The serums introduce randomized mutations, such as additional eyes, horns, or laser eyes, creating distinct variations while maintaining the core ape aesthetic. The project emphasizes community ownership and utility within the broader Ape ecosystem. Holders gain access to exclusive events, merchandise, and potential airdrops from Yuga Labs. MAYC integrates with the Otherside metaverse, where mutants can be used as avatars or assets. Technically, it's built on ERC-721 standard, allowing seamless trading on platforms like OpenSea. MAYC fosters a vibrant community through social channels and collaborations, positioning it as a key pillar in NFT culture and Web3 entertainment.
Mutant Ape Yacht Club generated 2253 ETH in trading volume over three months ending April 2026.
