Yuga Labs to launch Otherside's social hub Koda Nexus and Amazon co-branded NFT characters

ChainCatcher news, according to Decrypt, Yuga Labs has announced that Koda Nexus, the core social hub of its Bored Ape Yacht Club-themed metaverse project Otherside, will officially open on November 12.

The opening of the hub and social center is only the first layer of the three-layer architecture of this world. Next is the gaming layer, which will include numerous quests and battles created by developers and independent creators; there is also the Otherside Development Kit (ODK), a toolkit for building and publishing works within the game world. In addition, Yuga Labs revealed that Otherside will be featured on the Amazon Games homepage, promoting its metaverse brand to millions of Amazon users.

The company will collaborate with Amazon to launch an exclusive co-branded Voyager character called "Boximus," which can explore the Otherside metaverse. Related merchandise will go on sale starting Thursday in the Otherside brand store. Yuga has also partnered with artist Daniel Arsham to launch a limited edition Voyager collection of 300 pieces, which combines exquisite artworks with interactive digital collectibles that evolve over time.
