The Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) is an innovative extension of the Bored Ape Yacht Club ecosystem.
Created by Yuga Labs in August 2021, this collection of 20,000 unique NFTs was born through a special "mutation" process of existing Bored Apes and new mints. Each Mutant Ape features distinct, warped characteristics that maintain the signature BAYC aesthetic while pushing creative boundaries.
As a cornerstone of the BAYC community, MAYC provides holders with exclusive benefits and access to an ever-growing ecosystem, representing a new chapter in digital art and community building.

Bored Ape holders received special "serums" (M1, M2, or Mega Mutant) that could be used to create a Mutant Ape. Each serum type produced different levels of mutation intensity in the resulting artwork.

Holders of MAYC NFTs join an exclusive club, with members enjoying a range of unique perks.
