The company that owns the Bored Ape Yacht Club, Yuga Labs, has released new details about the second test of its gamified Otherside metaverse platform.
The company says that the “second trip” will happen on March 25 and will be a two-hour story told by four team captains from Otherside. People who own Otherdeed non-fungible tokens (NFTs), tied to real estate in the unreleased Otherside metaverse can go on the second trip. Each owner, called a “voyager,” can invite a friend to join them.
The company says the live experience can fit up to 10,000 people based on a first-come, first-served basis. On the company’s YouTube channel, non-holders can also view a live stream of the event.
In July 2022, Yuga Labs held its “first trip,” and more than 4,600 people went. This caused a lot of traffic on the Ethereum network. Participants of the second voyage who also participated in the first voyage will be eligible to obtain a unique Obelisk Piece tied to the overarching Otherside narrative.

According to Wylie Aronow and Greg Solano, who helped start Yuga Labs, “The Otherside” is where all the company’s projects come together. In April 2022, the company first hinted that it wanted to make a metaverse where users could own land and turn their NFTs into playable characters. At first, Yuga Labs sold 55,000 Otherdeed NFTs tied to virtual land ownership. This brought in about $330 million.
According to OpenSea, Otherdeed NFTs have sold 524,130 ETH (approximately $806 million). At the time of publication, the floor price for an Otherdeed NFT is 1.9 ETH, or roughly $2,920.
