"See you on the Otherside in April," tweeted Yuga Labs on March 18, 2022. This set off a firestorm of activity as more than 1.8 million excited gamers watched the attached teaser trailer that debuted the Bored Ape metaverse. But what exactly is Otherside? We're going to explore this below, along with the many ways that Yuga Labs has decided to utilize NFTs. Strap in tight — because it's going to be a wild ride!

What is Otherside?

Otherside is a 3D metaverse that appears to offer a gaming format for Bored Ape NFT holders. Created in partnership with Animoca Brands, Otherside will be powered by ApeCoin.

Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) members have been invited to hang out in Otherside when it launches in April. This has attracted a lot of interest, especially as it was announced one day after Yuga Labs debuted their ApeCoin (symbol: APE). Available on every major crypto exchange, ApeCoin will reportedly play a major role in the Bored Ape metaverse.

The stage was set in the teaser trailer, which showed the main Bored Ape character fishing to the tune of "Break on Through (to the Other Side)" by The Doors. He catches a bottle that initially seems to say, "Drink Me." However, once he does, the bottle's full text is revealed to read "Don't Drink Me."
