Otherdeed NFTs for BAYC’s Otherside, All You Need to Know

Bored Ape Yacht Club’s success gave Yuga Labs the wings to announce another launch, Otherside, to revolutionize both the digital art as well as the NFT space.

As the name says, Otherdeed for Otherside NFT collection is a whole new world where reality comes face to face with the gaming industry, paving way for a futuristic Web3 experience.

On March 19, out of the blue, Yuga Labs released a trailer for the Otherdeed for Otherside metaverse, leaving everyone stunned by the realistic visuals.

What followed next was a wave of interest in the NFT community and ApeCoin’s value hitting a record-breaking maximum of $27 along with maintaining the resistance level at $15. Within 24 hours, Otherdeed NFT collection recorded a trading volume of $561M. 

The first virtual lands NFTs drop

On 30 April, Otherdeed, the first NFT collection drop from the Otherside project was launched. 

A fusion of environment, sediment and treasures defines Otherside. Every NFT belongs to sediment with a Koda or no Koda along with a few hidden treasures.

Sales record of Otherside NFT collection 

During the launch, 55,000 NFTs were there for the public to buy. 

Yuga Labs recorded 271,425 ETH (around 645M dollars) in sales, according to the CryptoSlam data.

45,000 more Otherdeeds were released for NFT holders as well as team members. While 10,000 were reserved for BAYC holders, 20,000 were reserved for MAYC holders. For each NFT held, each holder got 1 Otherdeed. As far as the remaining 15,000 Otherdeeds were concerned, they were reserved for the Yuga Labs Team.

Dune Analytics concluded that the top 10 highest sales lie between $700,000 and $1.5M. 

Transaction and minting crisis

Compared to the previous NFT drops, the team kept away from Dutch auctions and chose a different approach for the Otherdeed NFT.

At the beginning of the sale, i.e. Wave 1, 2 Otherdeeds were minted per wallet. Wave 2 began when gas returned to reasonable levels and the amount of wallets minting decelerated. During this wave, KYCed wallets could mint up to an extra 4 Otherdeeds. 

Yuga Labs claimed the Otherdeed collection to be the largest NFT mint in history.

The fixed price for the collection was set at $305 APE, keeping in mind the affordability. 

Keeping aside the minting limit, there was no shortage of people buying the NFT collection, which led to increased gas prices and heavy traffic on the ethereum mainnet. 

All the claims of equal distribution were left behind when the big investors got hands on the unique NFTs and small investors had no other option than paying the gas fee as high as  $14,000 besides facing errors during transactions. Even worse, some of them got nothing even though they paid gas price. 

The team, on May 4, announced refunding the gas fees to everyone who faced a failed transaction; however, some people claimed not receiving any funds. 

Current statistics

With 34960 owners at the moment, Otherdeed’s 7 day volume is 3,513.43 ETH and total volume is 327,455.53 ETH. The average price of 7 days is 4.67 ETH.
