Genesis collection
The BAYC genesis collection consists of 10,000 NFTs that were initially designed to be simple profile pictures. Each NFT features a Bored Ape that has a combination of four to seven traits from a possible 170 variable traits. This makes the NFTs highly unique with distinct facial features, accessories, backgrounds, and clothing. Bored Apes with only four traits are the rarest, and so far, there are only 254 in circulation. Apes with six traits are the most common, with more than 5,300 in circulation.
Out of the entire collection, “Only 49 Bored Apes have a dagger in their mouth, 108 have cyborg eyes, and 115 have a cross earring.” This means that they are among the unique Apes on the market and are likely to fetch a significant price on the market. Further analysis of the NFTs demonstrates that some of them have features that make them even rarer. For example, only 26 Apes show a bored expression, are unshaven, and are pictured eating pizza, while only 42 Apes are dressed in a black suit. Ultimately, the tiered rarity system ensures that the NFT with the rarest features fetches the highest price.
Mutant Apes
Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is a collection of up to 20,000 “Mutant Ape” NFTs that can only be created by exposing an existing Bored Ape to a digital vial of “mutant serum,” or by minting a Mutant Ape in the public sale.
The Mutant Yacht Club (MAYC) was initially released in August 2021 as a members-only NFT collection, wherein BAYC holders were airdropped digital bottles of “mutant serum” that could be used to create a derivative NFT from their Bored Ape. The MAYC collection was subsequently opened up to the public, leading to a wave of new purchases of mutant ape NFTs.
Much like BAYC NFTs, there is also high demand for MAYC. Gauging the MAYC floor price over time measures the demand for these digital assets. From August 29, 2021, the floor price of MAYC started at around 4 ETH. The floor price shot up to 1878.75% on April 29, 2022, which was 79.15 ETH.
Bored Ape Kennel Club
“It gets lonely in the swamp sometimes. That's why every ape should have a four-legged companion. To curl up at your feet. To bring you a beer. To fire a missile launcher at that fucking monkey Jimmy.
That's why we've started the Bored Ape Kennel Club, and why we're offering up a dog for adoption to every single member of the BAYC – for free (you only pay gas).”
The Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) collection introduces 10,000 digital dogs as the best friend of each BAYC NFT. Each dog in the kennel club is unique and programmatically-generated from over 170 possible traits. As with all BAYC collections, some traits are rarer than others.
There are 10,000 total Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs. Each BAKC dog is stored as an ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Among the four notable NFT collections in the BAYC ecosystem, BAKC has the lowest market cap at 111.68 ETH.
The BAKC collection will have a 2.5% royalty fee associated with secondary sales on OpenSea. All proceeds generated from this fee were donated to no-kill animal shelters via The Giving Block. The first donation would be to Wright-Way Rescue.
Otherdeed for Otherside
Launched on April 30, 2022, Otherdeeds are NFTs that let users buy real estate in the Otherside metaverse. Though BAYC collections traditionally have a high price tag, Otherdeed for Otherside has the lowest floor price among the collections in the BAYC ecosystem as of August 15, 2022.
There are 100,000 Otherdeed NFTs, making them less exclusive than other collections in the BAYC ecosystem. Though the Otherdeed NFT collection is a few months old, there are over 34,000 landowners, according to OpenSea. The number of Otherdeed NFT holders currently outnumbers the holders of BAYC, MAYC, and BAKC altogether.
Although it is the newest NFT collection in the BAYC ecosystem, it is ranked third in largest market cap among all NFT collections.
