What Is Otherside?
Otherside is a metaverse in development by Yuga Labs. It is an entity behind the famous Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs. It enables gamers to own a piece of the virtual world via Otherdeed NFTs. It integrates NFT characters from Yuga Labs and many other platforms.
Categorized into five distinct areas, the metaverse provides an engaging setting design with its quests and backstory, where the participants interact with non-playable characters and gather resources. Designed for cross-platform compatibility, Otherside provides developers with open data kits (ODKs), supporting the use of Otherside’s data in various applications and enabling gamers to use their NFTs in many platforms and games.
