Animoca Brands, which is an investor in ALTAVA, has agreed to license the BAYC intellectual property that it owns to ALTAVA’s Bored Ape Golf Club (BAGC) project. BAGC is a golf-themed derivative of Bored Ape Yacht Club that uses BAYC NFTs belonging to The Sandbox, Elite Apes, and Animoca Brands. 

 

All of Animoca Brands’ BAYC NFTs licensed to the project, along with BAYC NFTs licensed by The Sandbox, will be assigned to a special edition class in the BAGC digital collection. The Special Edition BAGC NFTs will sport outfits branded by  Animoca Brands and The Sandbox. 

​

The utility built into the NFTs of the BAGC collection includes: 

 

1. Custom physical “IRL” BAGC-branded golf merchandise

2. Access to some of the most exclusive golf country clubs in Korea, Turkey, and Vietnam

3. Voxel twins of special edition BAGC NFTs for use in The Sandbox  

4. IP ownership, licensing, and management service

 

The IP ownership, licensing, and management service is particularly interesting to end-users.  Recognizing that most NFT holders do not have the capability to monetize their IP, ALTAVA has set up a dedicated team to handle IP monetization on behalf of holders. 

 

BAGC is a community-driven initiative and there is no official collaboration, partnership, or other affiliation with Yuga Labs, Inc.
