   Over the past two years, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have become one of the most interesting things in the blockchain world. Artwork, photos, and links were sold for huge sums of money, up to millions of dollars in some cases. But while the debate continues over the eligibility of tokens that are not exchangeable for any value at all, and even after several major frauds and price crashes for some groups, some groups of symbols continue to succeed today, with astronomical prices for some of them.

  Here we will go over a set of tokens representing 10,000 different and unique monkeys that were introduced in 2021 and quickly bought out completely in just 12 hours. Now, any of these monkeys are expected to cost anywhere from $200,000 to $500,000, with some even running into the millions. But what is so special about these monkeys and why do they have value?

What are the codes for Bored Ape Yacht Club?

  It started as an art project that involved making 10,000 similar designs of monkeys drawn in an almost uniform art style with semi-steady facial expressions. When put into circulation, each monkey cost 0.08 ether, about $190 at the time of sale. But that price rose gradually until last August, when it really exploded.

  At a minimum, these monkeys now cost more than $200,000. There are also several recorded sales of rare monkeys that cost a few million dollars. The interesting thing is that these monkeys have become very popular with social influencers, social media stars, and even art stars recently.

  One of these monkeys is owned by the hugely popular TV presenter Jimmy Fallon who has 50 million followers on Twitter, while others are owned by the band The Chainsmokers, several monkeys by musician Steve Aoki, as well as DJ Khaled and several major personalities in the world of social media, music and art.

  Recently, a collaboration between Adidas and this set of symbols took place within a large wave of cooperation with sets of non-fungible symbols. The official Adidas Originals Twitter account even features a picture of the monkey that the company currently owns.

  In fact there are plenty of examples of what the owners of monkeys sold with their monkeys have done, where one of them created a Twitter account for his monkey, made his own life story and made him a valet at his imaginary yacht club with these icons . Not long ago, a social media influencer management agency signed a contract to use this imaginary monkey for marketing and even his autobiography is currently being written by prominent names in the writing industry.

Where do NFT tokens originally get their value from?

  In principle, the value of NFT tokens can be divided into three basic factors that go together. Part of the value comes from the fact that these tokens are distinctive and different and represent a particular artwork, or that there are other important owners, which motivates the rest to participate in the ownership as it represents an exclusive club in principle.

 The second factor is that there is a strong, continuous and interactive community behind the set of tokens so that there are new features and different ways of dealing with these tokens over time. While the third and most important factor is perhaps the existence of a certain use or use of these symbols. Where some icons are marketed as a fashion for the world of metaphysics, for example, while others claim that they provide special features to their owners in a way that facilitates their lives.

  In the case of the group of monkeys, there is actually a mixture of all three factors together. The developer community behind this group is very active and has introduced several new features over time. One of these features, for example, was the ability to add a random “transformation” of monkey owners to produce a new token derived from the original monkey, and these modified monkeys are currently traded for tens of thousands of dollars.

  The community of these icons owners is also one of the most exclusive in the world, as they appear to be highly sought after in the entertainment world with a large number of artists, musicians and famous and influential personalities owning their own icons from the collection. So owning one of the group's monkeys turned out to be a status statement and a way to be proud of, in the eyes of many in reality.

  Finally, a special factor is the exclusive features that these codes unlock, and at the moment this is a real club that brings together the owners of these codes. Several exclusive celebrations were held for the owners of these symbols, and there are a number of activities that are held periodically to increase communication and cooperation between club members.
