Latest Otherdeed for Otherside News
Today, Yuga shared that allies will aid in the battle to defend Otherside: Legends of the Mara.
The Deets
- Otherside will be announcing alliances to enlist reinforcements in the Legends of the Mara battle.
- The pool of allies will include other Yuga PFP collections and a select group of third-party PFP collections.
- Owning one of these battle ally NFTs creates more ways to vanquish the Shattered and gather their treasures.
- Each Otherdeed will have a limited number of ally NFT slots.
❗ Why It Matters
The Otherside: LoTM game will include alliances and friends from adjacent Yuga Labs collections as well as unrelated third-party PFP collections.

Today, Blur announced that both the Bored Ape Kennel Club and Otherdeeds collections will be live shortly on the Blend platform.
The Deets
- Users can buy a Bored Ape Kennel Club dog with BNPL for 0.36 ETH (at the time of writing, which is lower than the initial 0.6 ETH Blur had listed) and get 3.5 ETH for a BAKC loan.
- Users can buy a new Otherdeed for 0.09 ETH with BNPL and get 0.9 ETH for an Otherdeed loan.
❗ Why It Matters
With MAYC and BAYC already on Blend, it's no surprise that the other Yuga Labs collections, BAKC and Otherdeeds, were also added.

Yuga Labs provided strategic insights into the Legends of the Mara game, detailing various playstyles, Vessels, and the significance of Mara transformations.
The Deets
- Players can choose from three Vessel types: Hunters, Farmers, and Enchanters
- Each Vessel can hatch into a corresponding type of Mara if nested properly
- Maras can be assigned to Otherdeeds to farm, hunt, or perform unique tasks
- The rarest Kodamara recipe has been lost, urging players to experiment with Mara transformations
The Bulk
Legends of the Mara, the upcoming game from the Otherside Metaverse, offers players a variety of strategic choices and playstyles. The game revolves around three types of Vessels: Hunters, Farmers, and Enchanters. By nesting a Vessel, players can hatch a corresponding Mara with unique abilities and functions.
Once a Mara is hatched, it can be assigned to an Otherdeed. Depending on its type, the Mara will farm Sediment Fragments, hunt, or perform an exclusive task related to Enchanters, which will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Players can transform their Maras into powerful Kodamaras by combining them with Sediment Fragments and a Seasonal Catalyst. A Kodamara's appearance, trait rarity, and game function are influenced by the player's choices. The recipe for creating the rarest Kodamara has been lost, encouraging players to experiment with different combinations.
Defeating The Shattered, mysterious titans that emerged after the Vessels descended, rewards players with rare and exclusive treasures. Efficiently defeating these adversaries increases the value of the treasure obtained.
Otherdeed Expanded traits will unlock gameplay for Legends of the Mara, with future seasons introducing artifacts and resources that further impact strategic decisions.
❗Why It Matters
The strategic depth of Legends of the Mara offers players a gaming experience with diverse playstyles and decision-making opportunities. As the game evolves through future seasons, it will continue to challenge and engage players while expanding the game's mechanics.
📊 By the Numbers
Legends of the Mara is an ApeCoin powered game, but the Yuga ecosystem token, $APE, is down nearly 2 percent in the last 24 hours to $3.36. $APE is now more than 87 percent off its all-time high of $26.70 and is No. 41 on CoinGecko's cryptocurrency marketcap rankings.
🎬 Take Action
Season 1 of Otherside: Legends of the Mara launches this summer. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements from Otherside Meta as the game progresses into Season 2 and beyond.

Bored Ape Yacht Club No. 4980 sold for 530 ETH or approximately $970,000 earlier today.
The Deets
- BAYC No. 4980 NFT was sold at a 16% premium over its DeepNFTValue of Ξ456.79 ($837.7k).
- The sale realized a profit of 524 ETH for the seller.
- The Ape was purchased by "PimpCapital."
- The sale took place on X2Y2, and no royalties or fees were paid.
The Details
BAYC No. 4980 is one of 46 apes with a "Solid Gold Fur" trait which makes it one of the rarest in the collection. The seller held the NFT for about two years from its last purchase.
The sale marks the largest since BAYC No. 5230, which sold on April 20 for 300 ETH.
📊 By the Numbers
Bored Ape Yacht Club currently holds a floor price of 47.20 ETH, down about 12 percent in the last 30 days. The collection has experienced a small boost since being added to Blur's Blend platform earlier today.

The Otherside shared new details for how Sediment tiers will matter, with higher tiers correlating to higher production.
The Details
- The higher your Sediment tier, the more Sediment Fragments your Otherdeed will produce.
- Otherdeeds with Sediment tier 3 have the best production, while Sediment tier 1 has the least.
- A Farmer on an Otherdeed Expanded enables Fragment harvest.
- Additional Farmers and Enchanters enhance the production.
- Regardless of production, the native sediment will always produce the same type of fragment.
❗ Why It Matters
The gaming team has been providing weekly updates over at the LoTM gaming blog, which is a nice development that keeps Voyagers in the loop until the launch of the official LoTM Litepaper.
Last week's update divulged that higher level tiers enable more workers on the plots, and this week's update brought news that Sediment tiers influence production and that production can be enhanced with additional Farmers and Enchanters.

BAYC tweeted a brief teaser video that shows 80+ possible traits across the different HV-MTL mech types.
Fewer than a trillion possible combinations. pic.twitter.com/6GHVeUZbMI
— Bored Ape Yacht Club (@BoredApeYC) April 28, 2023
❗ Why It Matters
While the Evo 1 reveal was delayed until next month, it'll be worth the wait based on a glimpse at the montage of various traits that BAYC shared today. Garga previously noted there were 1,050 traits, so this preview included less than 10% of the total trait pool.
🎤 Founder Feedback
Huge amount of traits have gone into the HV MTL collection. Looking forward to seeing what comes through the rift.Garga
Yuga Labs Chief Content Officer Michael Figge provided a TwelveFold update in a tweet thread 🧵 today.
The Details
- Initially, TwelveFold was presented in a format that made sense for satoshi inscriptions.
- Originals were 1,000 x 1,000 pixels.
- But each work in the collection has since been updated to a 12,000 x 12,000 pixel format and 144K resolution.
- This version will be made accessible to TwelveFold collectors.
- Collectors will receive a framed physical print of their piece that will be delivered for free.
❗ Why It Matters
Even with everything else going on within the Yuga ecosystem, such as the ongoing development of the Otherside, the delayed HV-MTL reveal process, and the upcoming Legends of the Mara adventure, the team hasn't forgotten about the owners of TwelveFold, their first work that was purely art.
While TwelveFolds don't include a membership component or utility to be used for further activations, collectors will receive a welcome update in the form of a much higher resolution version of their piece, as well as a framed physical print that will be delivered free of charge.
🔜 What’s Next?
Yuga has prints in production for TwelveFold collectors and are dialing in framing prototypes now. Then...a puzzle?

Mike Seavers, formerly an executive VP of development at Epic Game, will be joining Yuga Labs as its new CTO on May 22, according to a press release shared this morning.
❗ Why It Matters
Seavers brings a wealth of gaming experience at one of the top gaming studios to the Yuga Labs team as it ramps up its gaming initiatives related to The Otherside. This is a clear area of focus for Yuga Labs, who recently named Daniel Alegre, an ex-Blizzard executive, as its new CEO. Gaming will continue to be a foundational pillar of the Yuga Labs ecosystem, and the Yuga is doubling down on its team.
🔙 The Deets
- Seavers will succeed Yuga Labs co-founder Kerem Atalay in the CTO role, though Atalay will "remain with the company as a close strategic advisor," according to the release.
- At Epic Games, Seavers oversaw Epic Games' work on Unreal Engine, Fortnite and the Epic Games Store. He worked at Riot Games prior to joining Epic, where he worked on League of Legends, Valorant and Legends of Runeterra.
🎤 Founder Feedback
"Mike has a proven track record of taking organizations to the next level, and he shares our vision for how important digital identity and community will be for the future of the internet. We have an opportunity to be the web3 platform at the forefront of community and social engagement, through media and entertainment, and Mike's expertise will help us scale to achieve that." -Daniel Alegre, Yuga Labs CEO

The HVs won't be making their way across the rift until May, according to a tweet from @BoredApeYC yesterday.
The Details
- The official BAYC account appeared to note the delay by cryptically saying, "One turn right, one turn up, three down, two up… Fuck!!! Locked itself again. We’ll need more time to figure this out."
- The mdvmm.xyz site confirms the minor delay, with the updated infographic for the Evo 1 Reveal now showing May rather than April.
- The Journey to Evo 2 section also used to say "Begins May," but now says "Begins June" instead.
- BAYC co-founder Garga added some color, calling the HV-MTL a "monster of a collection" with "8 types, 1050 traits..."
❗ Why It Matters
Besides creating another week or two of pent-up anticipation, this seems like mostly a non-issue. Especially with May being less than a week away anyway.
Obviously, the Evo 2 component of the journey also got shifted out a month later, but with Yuga having so many projects to juggle, it just makes sense for them to take the time to make sure the execution is up to their standards. Rather than have some sort of issue like the companion trait error.
📊 By the Numbers
Not surprisingly, the floor has dipped about 10% since the announcement (-8.5% on OS and -12% on Blur, where the floor is a bit lower at 1.248 ETH). But not a significant move given overall market conditions, and interest will surely return once upcoming timelines are made more concrete.
🎤 Founder Feedback
8 types, 1050 traits... going to need to make some behind-the-scenes content about the process when we're done. Not yet but soon.

The Winged Helmet airdrop to players on Team Glacia has been completed, per a tweet from @OthersideMeta.
❗ Why It Matters
The Winged Helmet is a skin that can be equipped in the Otherside, and it is purely a cosmetic enhancement.
Otherdeed holders who were members of Jimmy Wong's (@jfwong) Team Glacia during the 2nd Trip received the airdrop 🪂.
🔎 The Details
- The official collection link can be found here: opensea.io/collection/otherside-relics
- There are 2,218 items in the collection.
- The floor price initially started out above 0.6 ETH but is now at 0.28 ETH at the time of writing.
