Old Navy gets bored

American clothing brand Old Navy has issued a new $19.95 t-shirt depicting Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) #7285. Is this a good thing for BAYC?

I saw arguments on whether a $19.99 @OldNavy shirt with an ape on it hurts or helps bored apes

Thoughts:

1) It helps — a licensing example between a major clothing brand & bored ape
2) It helps drive awareness too
3) It doesn’t necessarily hurt official BAYC shirt value. Why?⬇️

A Wednesday announcement from the project outlines how voxel creators can now publish their artwork and use it on their plots of metaverse LAND.

The process for publishing appears fairly straightforward as a creator merely needs an account on the platform to create an asset using VoxEdit, and then export it to The Sandbox’s marketplace for publishing.

Загвоздка в том, что изначально творения нельзя будет публиковать или майнить как НФТ. Однако в скором времени майнинг и продажа будут разрешены.
