Latest BYOLand News
BYOLand selection went live at 10:00 a.m. ET for BYOLand NFT holders. The land selection portal will remain open indefinitely, though land parcels are selected on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are approximately 30,000 land parcels available for claiming according to a tweet from the project.
Users hoping to select a land parcel can do so in the following manner:
1. Connect your web3 wallet to the BYOVerse website
2. Scan the BYOVerse for a desirable land parcel you'd like to claim
3. Click and link your BYOLand NFT parcels to open land parcels in the BYOVerse
4. Sign the gasless transaction in your wallet
Struggling to choose your land? Watch this tutorial video supplied by the BYOPills team.
Users can select up to four land parcels in one single gasless transaction but will need to create separate transactions if they are looking to claim more than four land parcels.
If you have successfully claimed your land parcel, the land will be highlighted black on the map explorer, disabling the ability for any other BYOLand holder to claim your land parcel.
More information can be found on the land selection process in the BYOVerse documentation.
BYOLand, the metaverse land NFT collection from the BYOPills gaming ecosystem, has scheduled its land selection event for Friday, Aug. 26 at 10 a.m. ET. It will be open indefinitely after it goes live.
The land selector can be accessed here on Aug. 26.
A complete land selection tutorial video is available on BYOPills' official Twitter.
To select land, first connect your MetaMask wallet. The website will automatically find and display your BYOLand NFTs. Once your wallet is connected and your NFTs load, the selector tool will show all the available plots in the BYOVerse.
Click on a parcel that has not yet been linked to a BYOLand NFT, and it will show all eligible NFTs in your wallet to link to that parcel. Link all your available NFTs and click proceed. Sign the MetaMask signature request to complete the transaction, and a confirmation popup will display on screen.

BYOPills have announced that the claiming of Anniversary pills has opened. Holders of any BYO asset at the time of the one-year anniversary are eligible to mint the NFT for free plus gas fees. The initial mint of BYOPills began on July 16, 2021.
The Anniversary Pill is an ERC-1155 collection to commemorate the past year and what the community has built. The BYOPill Year 1 NFT is the first of the BYO Exclusives Collection.
The Anniversary Pull drop is separate from the Lost Boy Cassette Snapshot that was announced on July 24 for holders of a BYOPill and Lost Boy NFT.
The floor price for the OG BYOPill collection is 0.29 ETH at the time of this writing. Earlier this week, the BYO team completed updates on its BYOVERSE map, allowing holders to explore the new virtual world.
The updates for the Map Explorer for BYOLand have been completed, according to a tweet from BYOPills.
Holders of BYOLand will be able to place their lands in the BYOVerse on Friday, Aug. 26, the project added in the tweet.
Holders can now explore the map of the BYOVerse, which consists of 16 total zones (in order of rarity from least to most): No Man's Land, Desolate Dunes, Amazonia, The Harbor, Lumia, Atlas Mountains, Radioactive Swamp, Volcan, Astroverse, The Mine, Bone Valley, Nebula, Frigid Plains, Cloud10, Komo Caves, and the Oblivion Void.
Land NFT holders will be able to choose a land parcel within their assigned zone. Each zone comes with an abundancy score, a dust level, fauna dangerosity, humidity, a psywaves level, a radiations level, resources, and a temperature.

Earlier this afternoon, Microsoft announced that it would be banning the use of blockchain technologies in Minecraft.
This was bad news for NFT Worlds as the project runs its metaverse through Minecraft. Following the announcement, the NFT Worlds floor price got as low as 0.63 ETH and it now sits at 1.10 ETH, a decrease of more than 60 percent over the last 24 hours.
While the NFT Worlds floor price has been volatile, let us see how other metaverse land collections have faired over the past 24 hours according to the Lucky Trader Project Rankings.

| Otherdeed for Otherside | 360.00 | -21.91% | 2.53 | -2.69% |
| The Sandbox | 44.00 | +33.33% | 1.79 | +0.00% |

BYOPills announced that it is running a trivia contest with prizes in a recent tweet.
Participants must enter on the BYO website and answer ten questions correctly in at least one of the four surveys to win the challenge.
Users who can pass the "BYOKNOWLEDGE" test will be entered into a raffle to win a BYOPills NFT.
BYOPills recently updated its BYOLand metadata and now it will launch a test run for land selection via its website on Friday, Jul. 1.
"You will be able to perform a full test run of selection and make sure you have the mechanics down," the team's post reads. "After the pilot is complete, planning has been done by the community, and we have fully checked that device compatibility is good and universal, we will then announce Phase III where actual linking of area will happen."
The second phase of the land selection process also includes an update mobile explorer for mobile users to view the BYOVerse. The website will only support exploration, not land selection, via mobile devices.
The BYOVerse consists of 16 total zones (in order of rarity from least to most): No Man's Land, Desolate Dunes, Amazonia, The Harbor, Lumia, Atlas Mountains, Radioactive Swamp, Volcan, Astroverse, The Mine, Bone Valley, Nebula, Frigid Plains, Cloud10, Komo Caves, and the Oblivion Void.
NFT holders will only be able to choose a land parcel within their assigned zone. Each zone comes with an abundancy score, a dust level, fauna dangerosity, humidity, a psywaves level, a radiations level, resouces, and a temperature (most of which are either very cold or very hot).

BYOPills announced that BYOLands are reaching the final stages of terraforming in a tweet this morning.
The tweet was accompanied by a video showcasing the terraforming process, and a note that urges holders to refresh the metadata for their BYOLand NFTs.
As BYOLands approach the completion of terraforming, they should now showcase the BYOME (zone), resources and resource abundance, and the details of the BYOLand environment.
The final message in the accompanying video indicates that Apostle suits are still required for survival.
BYOLand NFTs currently hold a floor price of 0.429 ETH.
