VOXEL VIBES: Meetropolis Will Be Home To An ApeChain NFT Gallery, According To Garga

Art, culture, and ApeChain NFTs will have a home on the Otherside when the persistent metaverse becomes a reality later this summer!

On Thursday, Yuga Labs CEO Garga gave Voyagers something to Meeb about during his weekly Q&A.

During that session, Garga revealed that he and the team have created an NFT gallery in the voxel city of Meetropolis that will feature all sorts of ApeChain JPEGS and teased that ApeChain NFTs will be breaking on through to the Otherside somehow!

“Def looking at fun ways to integrate ApeChain NFTs into Otherside,” Garga wrote. “we built a gallery into Meetropolis with that in mind.”

While nothing is confirmed at this time, Yuga Labs has previously shown Apes, Meebs, Voyagers, and more a glimpse of Meetropolis’ “Meeseum” in an older trailer, which could presumably be the site of the upcoming ApeChain gallery.

 

 

As the Bored Ape Gazette previously reported, the first iteration of Yuga Labs’ persistent, always-on Otherside is set to launch this June, allowing everyone to visit Meetropolis, the Swamp, and the Koda homeworld of Nexus anytime they want!

“We need that to make sure we have a strong base, and get us set up for persistent Otherside, which we plan for ~June of this year,” he wrote on Discord in January 2025. “Persistent Otherside does NOT mean we are done, it's just a super important milestone. It means always-on world, strong ODK to allow Unreal-capable builders to create awesome shit (and have access to all the Otherside biomes to do that), and some ODK experiences that we're proud of that show the capabilities of the platform. And that include some stuff we're really excited about on the AI front. It also means the several key islands (Nexus, Swamp, Meetropolis to start) are up 24/7, which we expect people to congregate. Once we're persistent and have the ODK in strong shape, then the next part of the roadmap revolves around our plans for resources and artifacts.”

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow all things Otherside and will keep you posted as we get closer and closer to the metaverse becoming a reality. Stay tuned for updates!
