Tomorrow, the trial of #JimmytheMonkey starts with a short film kicking off a new chapter in the lore of BAYC.
Pieces of the narrative will be released along the way. Pay attention to the signs, details might be important down the line.
Things come to a head in late January with a free, playable, interactive mint experience for BAYC and MAYC holders. You’ll be asked to test your skills (and your knowledge).
Keep these mints close, don’t let them fall into the wrong hands. The trial is the prologue to a series of activations coming over the course of next year.
Pro-tip: When it comes to the mint, Apes (BAYC or MAYC) who also hold a BAKC will be in tiers of their own. There will also be an optional $APE spend mechanic, for those looking to enhance their minting experience.
Reminder: Use the news.yuga.com website, the official BAYC discord, and this Twitter account, to cross-reference announcements. We will never DM you first or have a surprise mint. For questions, head over to the official BAYC discord: discord.gg/bayc

Apes, we wouldn’t be where we are today without our incredible community. We’re excited to announce the first BAYC community council made up of 7 long standing proactive community members to work alongside us moving forward. 🧵below
To help the community grow and thrive, we’ve assembled Apes with a proven track record of proactively and positively contributing to the club since the start. This council was formed with the intention of representing the club at large and providing an avenue for new perspectives
Heads up apes, the first batch of the Apes Vs Mutants mobile competition prizes are ready to be shipped out to the winners named in our last Medium post. More details on what to look out for in the 🧵 below
Because supply chain issues prolonged our timeline, we have emailed winners to confirm your shipping address and phone number. Be on the lookout for an email we sent a few minutes prior to this thread going live to the email address you submitted during the competition.
This morning, the official BAYC Instagram account was hacked. The hacker posted a fraudulent link to a copycat of the BAYC website with a fake Airdrop, where users were prompted to sign a ‘safeTransferFrom’ transaction. This transferred their assets to the scammer's wallet.
Immediately upon discovering the hack, we alerted our community, removed links to the compromised IG account from our platforms and attempted to recover the account.
At the time of the hack, two-factor authentication was enabled and security surrounding the IG account followed best practices. We’ve regained control of the account, and are investigating how the hacker gained access with IG’s team.
Anyone who completed a transaction in the merch store yesterday is now able to complete an additional checkout. See 🧵 for important details. 🚨⬇️ store.boredapeyachtclub.com
We’ve extended the window for this merch drop until 11:59pm ET Thursday, so there’s no need to rush. Everyone has an extra day to shop.
Only one checkout per wallet is allowed. This means you’ll need to complete your entire order in a single transaction. This applies whether you visited the store yesterday or not.
This has been building over the last seven months. @AnimocaBrands will launch the first phase, and there’s more to come. P.S. we don’t like KYCs either, but we think you’re going to want to be a part of this.
The holidays have us a bit introspective over at the club. This year has been wild and we wanted to take a breath to shout out some of the people who have helped make the club what it is today.
We want to start with the incredible team of artists behind BAYC: @_migwashere, @allseeingseneca, @ThomasDagley, who crafted the apes along with two secret agents. During MAYC, the brilliant @Lovans joined in. Each of them is amazing.
Some are still on the team today, while others are out there fucking killing it on other projects. The BAYC logo designer is staying a secret agent for the moment, but @1800seandotcom helped dip it all in slime for MAYC.
