Mega Robots, Gold Apes, and the #1 most rare Moonbird are just a few of the eight curated NFTs from people who claimed their NFTs on BoredJobs.com or in the BoredJobs community. Additionally, prospective brand clients will be able to browse through a selection of NFTs & owners categorized as “preferred rare” due to a combination of their traits, aesthetics, & owner’s trust.
The unique combination of aesthetically pleasing traits and trait scarcity in the BAYC community makes this a perfect experiment for BoredJobs to explore over time which Bored Apes’ brands prefer. Additionally, we want to highlight owners that are part of the BoredJobs community and that own rare BAYC assets with interest in licensing.
BoredJobs will work with these owners to explore how unique and existing high-value traits will change over time. We will share our findings with the community as we learn and pave this new wave of IP widespread use.
"BAYC valuations have traditionally been based on novel trait rarity, but the next million owners to utilize their IP will completely reshape the long-term value backing NFTs", says Roshan Mirajkar, Head of Traits at BoredJobs
IP Jobs Will Change BAYC Value Framework
The next phase of growth for NFTs has begun. This movement will see valuations shift from rarity-centric to value based on IP deals and affiliations. This change is not new. Since the beginning, Bored Ape owners were granted possession of the intellectual property rights for their NFTs in the collection. However, few community members have expertise in utilizing IP at scale. Exploring IP usage is an untapped opportunity to see more community members earn passive income while still providing brand value to the Bored Ape Yacht Club brand.
Trait rarity, in some ways, is the essential root of what made NFTs enjoyable enough for new web3 communities to become loyal collectors and builders quickly. The randomness and obscurity of rarity traits created the Intrinsic Value for NFTs in the first year of rapid growth with web3 communities.
One year after the launch of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, there now exists many influencers and recognizable apes that people have used in a way that now enables each ape to become a unique brand. The value of the ape’s IP and owner’s brands should increase if adequately utilized. For example, some apes are rare trait-wise but have significantly smaller online audiences and brand image.
Our Prediction: The next stage of calculating valuations for NFT projects will be based on actual IP usage, not purely aesthetic, and based on mathematically rare traits.
