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.

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.
Dutch auctions are actually bullshit, so Otherdeeds will be sold for a flat price of 305 ApeCoin 🧵.

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.

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.
