This week, Yuga Labs, the company most famously behind Bored Ape Yacht Club, revealed its highly anticipated HV-MTL (yes, that’s “heavy metal”) Evo1 NFTs. In January, Yuga launched the Bored Ape Yacht Club's (BAYC) mini game, Dookey Dash. Participants raced through the sewers to find a golden key. Although only one person won, all 30,000 participants received a Power Source NFT. On May 17, these new NFTs were revealed. Collectors discovered an HV-MTL collectible in the form of a floating robot that transforms into a wearable mecha. There are 8 types created from 1050 traits with a rarity score determined by the original owners' position in the game. While the response online to the reveal was mixed, these NFTs play a key role in the next phase of Yuga’s metaverse evolution, as they’ll be needed for the Forge.
