11 things you must know after the first batch of Otherside is sold out

Here are the key points compiled from the Otherside website and Twitter for understanding the Otherside project. This project is also a crucial step in exploring how top-tier NFTs can continue to thrive amidst the current craze.

What is the Otherside project all about?

According to official sources, Otherside is an interoperable metaverse currently under development. It will be a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that also supports the virtual world of web3. As a metaverse RPG, players will own the world, with their NFTs becoming playable characters, allowing for thousands of players to be online simultaneously.

What can players do in Otherside?

Officials state that Otherside aims to create an immersive, interactive, and collaborative gaming experience like never before. Inspired by the spirit of Dungeons and Dragons, Otherside will evolve into a game experience co-created with players. Players can participate in game prototype building, demo testing, and shaping the final game design and experience.

If the first Otherdeed land is sold out, will there be another chance?

A total of 200,000 Otherdeeds are available. After the sale of 100,000 lands on May 1st, there will be a second wave of Otherdeed exclusively rewarding early holders of Otherdeed and contributors to Otherside. Early holders of Otherdeed can participate in the second wave of land sales using ApeCoin for purchase; Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Bored Monkey Yacht Club (BMYC) holders can claim Otherdeed.

Where can BAYC and BMYC holders claim Otherdeed?

Claim here: https://otherside.xyz/claim

As claiming can only be done once, those who have received land airdrops through BAYC and BMYC in the secondary market can confirm their eligibility through this link. The unboxing will be unlocked within 24 hours.

What is the purpose of Otherdeed land?

You can build, collect resources, create, and play on Otherside with Otherdeed. Otherdeed allows you to claim a piece of land when Otherside launches.

Can produce different resources:

Land features various crafts:

In the first wave of land, there is a 1/10 chance to get the original character Koda:

Is Koda completely open-source?

Not entirely. According to the terms released by YugaLabs, unlike the concept where owning it makes you the complete copyright owner as seen in the BAYC series, Koda only grants personal property rights, allowing for buying, selling, transferring, and discarding, as well as commercial rights. It does not include artistic rights. YugaLabs reserves the right to terminate these rights if there are any illegal actions or transfers to unauthorized parties. While the terms are clearer this time, it generally won't violate the owner's use of all their Koda.

Is there a grading system for Otherdeed land allocation?

10% for BAYC holders, totaling 10,000 lands, located in the center of Otherside: Biogenic Swamp

20% for MAYC holders, totaling 20,000 lands, located in the outer ring of Biogenic Swamp: Chemical Goo

15% for developers, totaling 15,000 lands, allocated to Yuga Labs and other project developers, in areas Rainbow Atmos, Cosmic Dream, and Infinite Expanse

55% for adventurers, participants who purchase with ApeCoin, in areas Rainbow Atmos, Cosmic Dream, and Infinite Expanse

Which NFT projects can enter Otherside?

BAYC, MAYC, BAKC, CryptoPunks, Meebits, will have 3D model characters provided by Otherside, available for direct play upon game launch. From the official tone, Meebits might not be fully completed yet.

Other players can also import and create their characters through SDK tools.

Can players create their characters, items, and clothing in Otherside?

Through SDK tools, players can create characters, items, clothing, buildings, and even games in Otherside. There will also be an exclusive store for buying and selling. This seems to be similar to The Sandbox's framework.

If you are a developer, you can participate in development through this link.

Which cryptocurrencies will Otherside use?

Only APE. There will be no cash, credit card payments, etc. All economic transactions will be in ApeCoin.

Which blockchain will Otherside adopt?

Currently, ApeCoin and Otherdeed, including all NFTs in the ecosystem, are on Ethereum. However, Yugalabs has experienced the madness of high Ethereum gas fees and acknowledges the need to move ApeCoin to their own chain for broader adoption. They also hope ApeCoin DAO can start moving in this direction.

Will Otherside's visuals be inefficient and low-quality like other metaverses?

Otherside claims to use Improbable's M2 technology for the metaverse, enabling over 10,000 players to interact in real-time in the same space, supporting voice chat, and providing a rich immersive gaming experience through AI and physics technologies. Otherside believes they can overcome scalability limitations.

Otherside even states that while typical online games are limited by the number of operations per second (OPS), usually around 10,000 OPS, Otherside can achieve over five billion OPS. They will address bandwidth and rendering issues through machine learning to make everyone look different and allow all to bring in external NFT characters.

What's next for Otherside?

According to leaked presentation slides:

• In May, there will be an airdrop of exclusive NFT character Kodas for Otherside
• In August, the remaining land auctions will be completed, along with a trial of Jimmy the Monkey more information
• In September, a fundraising project for BAKC, BAYC to MechaDog transition, and the Ultimate Mecha Ape project
