There are over 10,000 Bored Ape NFTs floating around the Internet. Despite the number, these non-fundable tokens are in high demand and seem to be a must-have for celebrities.
According to their website, “BAYC is a collection of 10,000 Bored Ape NFTs—unique digital collectibles living on the Ethereum blockchain. Your Bored Ape doubles as your Yacht Club membership card and grants access to members-only benefits, the first of which is access to THE BATHROOM, a collaborative graffiti board.”
The website also shares that the “initial sale has sold out.”
Anyone currently interested in purchasing one on a re-sale can get it on OpenSea, another marketplace for the digital collection.
