Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano has finally spoken out about his plans for the Bored Apes franchise as a whole. Solano used his official X account to explain that he’s holding himself accountable by basing his update on his 10-day check-in.
Since it debuted and became the largest digital collectible series in the industry, Yuga Labs has been trying to sell functional products. Solano identified the key upgrades that excite him, despite his claim that the company lacks the necessary depth and mastery of the product.
Enriching the Yuga Labs ecosystem
He started by bringing up the ODK, which is widely considered the gold standard for creating and monetizing crypto-based social experiences or 3D games. The improvements demonstrate that Yuga Labs is investing heavily in game-focused innovation.
According to Solano, Web3 developers are hard at work on Project Dragon, a first-person shooter with one of the most ridiculous team-fight plots ever. According to the head of Yuga Labs, the development team uses the same set of tools to create ODK and the game.
In addition to the various ‘brand expressions’ that the company develops, Solano also introduced the ApeFest. During this event, a 15th century monastery will play host to thousands of bored monkey owners from 56 different countries. Solano learned that the merchandise will be made and delivered as planned, which will make this event unique.
Solano said the group is exploring the possibility of integrating BAYC with other material goods to further enrich the Yuga Labs ecosystem.
