I’m building ApeFax exactly because of this. When the CEO of Yuga publicly says collector strength is hard to quantify, that’s the gap. Floor price tells you nothing about a 4T or an admirals coat. Rarity tools rank traits but don’t price them. OTC desks like @GrailsOTC are doing the work without the infrastructure underneath them. Daily sales volume on rare-trait apes is dropping because the supply has gone diamond-handed, and nobody is tracking that signal. Apefax is a Per-token fair value with the methodology fully exposed. No black box. Floor trait premium lineage history score. Each component visible. The grails are rotating into stronger hands. The numbers behind those rotations should be transparent. Check before you Ape 🦍

there are only 46 gold apes and at this point, it’s very difficult to find an off-market seller willing trade the lowest listed gold ape is 199 eth ($460k) which is effectively double before @GrailsOTC started 3 weeks ago bids are rising but sellers are not budging digital assets like these have rotated into significantly more diamondhanded positions for gold apes, not only are sellers not budging they pretty much don’t exist we are still working through trippies, 4Ts, blacksuits, admirals coats, kings robes, pimp coats, etc but overall our goal has been to help facilitate even more off-market inventory rotating into strong collectors subjective trait-based requests are being facilitated completionists are trading for full sets minimalists are trading for clean apes aesthetics are in control this is important work because it applies momentum to a quality that is hard to quantify: collector strength paired with our progress on IRL events, I firmly believe the sustained pressure we are applying will yield the results everyone is after - a strong Club on a related note, while the bayc website is deliberately minimal and opaque to the public, we are experimenting with a deeper experience in the members section there are also other strategies, which i will go over this week, that I believe to be under engaged, but full of potential for the bored ape yacht club

End of week ApeFax update 🦍 This week was mostly in the weeds: - Ran multiple code audits cleaned up dirty branches and sandbox work - Fixed hydration issues stamp determinism - Patched a paywall vulnerability - Started OpenSea/Blur listings API integration - Worked through design for certs cards (Phase 1 vs Phase 2 breakdown) - Kept pushing dashboard binder improvements Still deep in engine data work. Launch this summer.

Some things you can not price in… but I’ve spent months building this fair value calculation for myself and others. Here it is running.. and while it does not price in sentimental value.. It will allow you to pick a trait stack, hit calculate, and the engine pulls real comps, weights them by recency, flags thin market activity, and tells you how confident it is. No rarity guessing. No black box. Free tool. The full fax goes deeper. ApeFax. Check before you ape 🦍
I bought nice items from grail projects, and I bought grails from upcoming projects, why not buy grails from grail projects. Always wanted a 4T (minimalism, nake) grail skin. Appreciate @lior_eth entrusts me with this ape. His legendary collection adds much prestige provenance. This captured my cryptopunk with shade cigarette (thug life). No hat to be 4T. Orange BG pink DMT skin are exactly the main colorways for the completed sets of Essential Credentials Now and Future I’m known for in physical hobby of sports cards. 24 green eyes for Kobe (green). It has the vibe of Mitsume ga Tōru by Osamu Tezuka, mixed with Parasyte by Hitoshi Iwaaki. DMT is something Aaron Rodgers popularizes. There are only 3 4T DMT. I like calmer expressions. Doubly bored is sick but too simplistic. This one has much more character to build a brand and identity with. All in all a perfect ape for me. It also matches my Pudgy Penguin with orange and heart element. Orange is also close to ape skin color and shade and skin have colormatch. This orange, green and pink colorway also matches Kaboom Green 1/1 main color themes. After being on X and in BAYC community for enough time, I have seen strong community where people resonate immediately with the PFP, every short period many new people come in to check bucketlist, and it has new strong and capable leader @mfigge, this mean @BoredApeYC collection will last and stand test of time, then buying a grail tier 1 asset is no brainer an a strong play I believe in, just like securing coffin card in my sportscards, physical or #PaniniBlockchain On June 11 2010 I watched World Cup ceremony and opening game in person, and today June 11, it’s again the World Cup opening day and same matchup, where all eyes are on this sport. It’s a great occasion to execute this deal and I will easily remember the date of purchase. I met a good hobby friend in person today and he traveled from the US to have a conference in my neighborhood and he saw my purchase in person. I come from sports card community especially #PaniniBlockchain, there are many apes in the community. Hopefully we can unify between licensed sports NFT and PFP landscape and propelling the NFT and digital art category forward.

Just closed the full ApeFax documentation audit. 143 files across the main launch branch. 28 superseded dated docs flagged. The entire canonical launch kit (master plan, calibration spec, mint mechanics, governance) lives on one feature branch. Highest value move now: promote the real docs to master so anyone who audits sees them in one obvious place. Build in public means the messy middle gets visible too.

Post 3 One thing that always surprises me building ApeFax: The launch kit and strategy docs were scattered across 6 branches. The canonical versions only existed on a feature branch nobody was looking at daily. Read-only audit surfaced it immediately. Now we have a clear map. This is why I treat documentation like production code. If it is not clean then you are bound to run into issues.

Post 4 Week of ApeFax work in one line: Closed the final redline, removed duplicate deploy job, ran full documentation audit, delivered the manifest. Still not at the "ship to real users" line, but the surface is now clean enough that the next real-world test actually means something. Check Before You Ape 🦍

Hopefully this is just flagged incorrectly. Because someone just paid 12 ETH for 9038 a day ago and it is showing as flagged compromised. Trading disabled for 90 days. They may never be able to move it on OS. This is exactly why I built ApeFax. The check that takes 10 seconds could have saved the buyer 12 ETH. ApeFax launches this summer. Check before you ape.

This week’s ApeFax made some major progress including closing the final code redline. After an independent review flagged that the live dashboard surfaces were still partially on mocks, we rewired every panel (Alerts, Remint, Billing, Binder, Profile, header) to real data sources. All five re-check targets are now verified. Full smoke suite new dedicated dashboard smoke = green. Only thing left before production promotion: real signed-in wallet SIWE visual QA which I will do today and tomorrow. Also …. I learned that long interactive agent reviews are great for deep first passes but get brittle on re-audits after fixes. Good learning moment for me because I am not a native dev. Saved the session notes so I don’t repeat the friction as I continue the build. Solid week of work and I am proud of the progress. Code side is clean and passed third party scrutiny. Now I and testing different scroll patterns to see what fits best. ApeFax drops soon hope you are on the waitlist!! #ApeFax #checkbeforeyouape

Honest question for everyone, purely from a functionality standpoint: Would you rather scroll a feed like a marketplace (up/down, browse style), or have it work like Tinder, swipe left/right, where left passes, right opens the listing, and dragging down saves it for later? Both have tradeoffs. Marketplace scrolling is familiar and lets you scan fast. The swipe model forces a decision on each one and makes “saved for later” feel intentional rather than a buried bookmark. Either way you’d still have full search and filtering, by trait, lowest listed, etc. I was testing this option today but we currently have it set like other platforms where you scroll. Curious to know which one actually feels better to you. 👇 @BoredApeYC @GrailsOTC @yugalabs

Sheesh that was a long Friday. Just closed the final code redline on ApeFax. After an independent CTO-level review flagged one remaining gap in the live dashboard surfaces, we rewired every panel (Alerts, Remint, Billing, Binder, Profile, header) to real useDashboardData calls. All five re-check targets are now verified. All local gates green (typecheck full smoke suite new dedicated dashboard smoke). Only external item left: real signed-in wallet SIWE visual QA before prod. Code-side audit readiness is done. Next up is the final real-world check.

Is there an Bored Ape anonymous addiction group I can join. I feel like I stare at the feed way too much and I swear I’m not trying to buy a 4th ape. I’d rather one be gifted to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dear Machi, we are friends even though we have never personally met. Please DM me if you are dropping angles from the sky. I will find a way to catch them.
