The Bulk
CryptoGarga, co-founder of Yuga Labs, announced his return as CEO in a move that signals a strategic pivot towards a more cryptonative focus for the company.
Garga provided immediate next steps and action items for all of the major Yuga Labse ecosystem items, starting with its flagship, Bored Ape Yacht Club.
First and foremost, he announced the establishment of the BAYC LLC as a subsidiary to Yuga Labs. The LLC aims to grant the BAYC team the autonomy needed to foster creativity and rapid execution of its vision. This structural change is designed to leverage the BAYC's community-driven success to new heights.
In parallel, the Otherside project is depicted as the future "living room of web3," a space for community gathering and engagement across various web3 ecosystems. Solano's vision for Otherside involves a deeply interactive development process, with increased communication and community input at its core.
The gaming strategy outlined by Solano emphasizes a "barbell approach," balancing mass-market appeal with cryptonative mechanics. Initiatives like Dookey Dash are highlighted as examples of engaging gameplay that can attract a wide audience, while undisclosed projects promise to deepen the cryptonative aspect of Yuga's gaming ventures.
🎤 Founder Feedback
We want to unshackle the BAYC team at Yuga as much as possible to execute against its vision. More focus, more agility. So it can do the above, and create the space for the magic and crazy shit we used to get up to more often.CryptoGarga, CEO of Yuga Labs on BAYC
❗Why It Matters
After lots of negative sentiment following the PROOF acquisition last week, Yuga Labs regains good community favor pushing back to its roots and shedding a bit of the "corporate" cloud that has shrouded the company in the last few years.
🔜 What's Next?
With increased communication and a clear action plan, the future under CryptoGarga's leadership promises much more from Yuga Labs' portfolio.
