How did the BAYC start?
After draining their savings into the project, with traits decided, art secured, and minting contract written – the team at Yuga Labs set to launch Bored Ape Yacht Club on April 29, 2021. Priced for fair distribution at .08 ETH per ape, things started out slow at first, then as with most things in the NFT space, snowballed hard until two days later on May 1, they were sold out.
Over the next month, two things happened: ape secondary sales started to pick up fast and the developers started implementing their roadmap within the now quite active BAYC community.
