The Bored Ape Yacht Club is being featured in an interactive movie by America’s largest coin exchange, Coinbase.
At the time of press, there are no details on the ground, but Coinbase said on April 12 that an interactive trilogy was in the works.
The tweet was clearly aimed at BAYC holders as it continued to state how they can help the company make the movie: “Get a Coinbase wallet, Submit your Bored Ape, Hide an easter egg.”
It had a link to a website called degentrilogy.com which was a splash page with a 1980’s style fonts title and a link to connect a wallet.
In June, the first of three installments of the series of short animated films will be shown at NFT. NYC. The BAYC community will be able to come up with ideas for the plot.
Crypto community reaction
The series was created to tie in with the upcoming NFT marketplace launch. “We’ve been inspired by the Bored Ape Yacht Club community and excited to invite them to co-create this film with us, describing the collection as a “North Star in the NFT space”.
Those who have connected their wallet to the platform will be able to see the movies once they are released
According to the art creator, BAYC holders will be giving up their intellectual property rights in exchange for $10,000 in APE or BTC paid into their Coinbase wallet.
Others questioned if they had to move their apes:
“So for this I would have to move my ape to the coinbase wallet? Is there another way. I won’t be moving my ape off my ledger.”
One suggestion was to channel the costs of making a movie into customer service which is notoriously bad
BAYC market outlook
BIC reported last month that BAYC sales volume had declined substantially, but they are still the top collection by seven-day volumes. The Mutant Ape Yacht Club collection has sold more than $30 million in secondary seven-day sales, while BAYC has sold more than $28 million.
