Last week marks a significant moment for my team and me, as we have devoted countless nights and days to accelerating the growth of the Yuga IP ecosystem. Our AIP is finally open for voting. In this thread, I want to share our builder journey.
A fruitful journey that's both challenging and rewarding.
Phase One Journey: From the start, we have been avid supporters of BAYC. Back then, there were only a handful of use cases.
I spent days deeply diving into everything related to BAYC and began our first IP map back in August of 2022.

Many of these OGs evolve and become role models within the Yuga ecosystem, including @veratheape , @ApeBeverages , @10KTFshop , and @EliteApesHK.
Driving Ecosystem Growth
Throughout the 9-month journey of building the Yuga IP Ecosystem Map, we continue to push the boundaries forward.

Phase Two Journey
Phase Two Journey: We have provided guidance to numerous Animoca-backed projects, and in addition to offering advice on the application of BAYC IP, we are also integrating IP to validate our thesis
It’s the journey that champions
We're creating a story, culture, and knowledge base TOGETHER.
A fruitful journey that's both challenging and rewarding. A journey that brings an immersive story, global brands, wonderful experiences, a collaborative community, transparency, community-driven IPs, and innovation.
In the next phase of the journey, we are building Ape Accelerator to further empower Apecoin and Yuga IP. We hope to support more ecosystem projects in the upcoming journey.
Alpha teaser to create more hype and FOMO?
And we need your support to make it happen!
