The dating app for NFT lovers

Lovers of NFTs (acronym in English for “non-fungible token”) already have an app designed especially for them. This is Lonely Ape Dating Club, a dating app that seeks to link adepts to non-fungible tokens.

The service was created by Year 4000 Labs, which is made up of specialists and collectors of Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), which a collection of non-expendable tokens built on Ethereum. The collection integrates profile pictures of apes that are generated using an algorithm.

What does the dating app offer

As mentioned on the page, users will be able to connect their crypto wallets and filter potential matches based on the net worth of cryptocurrencies and NFTs in their wallets. It should be noted that the great requirement to be part of this platform is to have the cryptocurrencies of the apes.

It should be noted then that users register on the app by linking their crypto wallets and once this is done, the platform allows them to show their net worth and their NFT portfolio. You can choose to link up with those that help accumulate more crypto assets.

On the other hand, users can send each other tips on cryptography. This could serve as a technique to get other people's attention and thus begin to engage in conversation.

It is also possible to share metrics, and other data related to NFTs, since, as is clear, everything revolves around this digital universe.

The platform also has a “match to win” feature that allows users to earn tokens. In turn, the “Coin Digger” feature will allow non-BAYC owners to connect to a higher network for mutual benefit.

For now, those who want to join this dating platform have to enter the portal and join the waiting list.

How the BAYC came about

The project emerged in 2021 and consists of a limited collection of 10 thousand NFTs. It was developed by 4 friends, who formed Yuga Labs and thought about generating these cryptoassets based on the films Planet of the Apes. In particular, reference is made to the meme “apes together strong”, a concept that appears in the first film: The origin of the planet of the apes.

When they were launched, the NFTs were sold at 0.08 ETH but this value did not stop escalating. Their popularity grew with celebrities willing to pay astronomical figures for them. This is the case of the American presenter Jimmy Fallon, who bought the image of a jumpsuit wearing a striped t-shirt for almost $220,000 or that of the musician Eminem, who spent almost USD 462,000 for another NFT from this collection that he just liked.

What is the next step of this cryptocurrency

On Twitter, the company Yuga Labs, the creator of this famous collection, recently published an animated video, along with a message: “See you on the other side in April.”

The film shows one of the monkeys who, while fishing, finds a bottle that says “drink me”. The ape ingests the liquid and immediately the whole environment begins to be destroyed. Then another character appears who takes him “to the other side”. A ship appears, members of other NFTs and everything becomes very changeable.

Some believe that this could allude to their foray into the metaverse, although others believe that it could be the foretaste of an upcoming video game featuring these characters. For now there are only inferences.
