Hollywood is cooked.
A single ai artist just dropped a 7 minute film made 100% with ai tools and it went viral on Chinese social media in a week.
The film explores the idea that our world might be a simulation. Built with Nano Banana, Veo3 and Runway, music by Suno.
The era of the one person production studio is already here. and it cost ~0.001% of a Hollywood production.
Mudwater 101: BAYC 新出的卡牌到底是什么？
最近很多人发信息在问 Mudwater，作为apefest前线猿来写个101
-Mudwater 是什么？
BAYC 新出的卡牌，实体和数字版本都有。
数字卡在 Solana 链上。
有点像 Pokémon 卡，主要是收藏、拆包、交易。也是 BAYC 在 NFT 之外做实体 IP 产品的一次尝试。Mudwater 其实不只是收藏卡，也是一款可以玩的双人策略卡牌游戏。2个人玩，每局大概10分钟。每人准备14张不同的卡，13张对战，1张作为赌注。玩法是3×3九宫格，轮流出卡，用卡牌四个方向的数字跟对手比大小，占领格子。最后占领格子多的人赢。最刺激的是可以 Play for Keeps，赢家拿走输家的赌注卡。
除了实体卡，也可以在 Otherside 里体验游戏。
-总量多少？
一共 10,000 盒，每盒 24 包。
总共 240,000 包，每包 10 张卡。加起来大概 240 万张卡。
但卡面设计只有 120 种，区别在稀有度和特殊版本。
-稀有度怎么分？
Common 普通
Uncommon 不常见
Rare 稀有
Prestige
Legendary 传说
Foil 闪卡
Serialized 编号卡
Cracked-Ice 1/1
最稀有的是 Cracked-Ice 1/1，整个系列只有 8 张。
@AdamWeitsman 个人出了个$100K美金的bounty给第一个开出来1/1的人
- Holder 可以领多少？
BAYC 每只可以 Claim 10 包数字卡。
MAYC 每只可以 Claim 2 包数字卡。
截止时间是 2027 年 1 月 19 日 00:00 UTC。
ApeFest 现场参加的人还有额外福利。
Claim 的是数字卡，不是实体卡。Claim网址mudwater.bayc.com/claim/
Mudwater Claim 截止日期：2027年1月19日 00:00 UTC，北京时间 1月19日上午8点，美西时间 1月18日下午4点
- 实体卡和数字卡有什么区别？
实体卡可以拿在手里收藏、拆包、交换。
数字卡在链上，可以交易。
- 我怎么看？
这次 ApeFest 现场 Mudwater 的购买队伍挺长的，其实卡牌本身不是什么新东西，Pokémon 已经证明了这个市场有多大。我觉得这次尝试蛮好的，IP 不应该只停留在 NFT 交易市场。能不能让圈外的人愿意花钱买、收藏、持续参与，才是长期要看的东西。

ApeFest Charleston 2026 三天总结：
-现场1000+只 Ape，总人数估计快2000了，比我想象中热闹太多。很多人从亚洲、欧洲、迪拜飞过来，有人转了三次机，就为了来见大家一面。
-第一次来 Charleston，但走在街上随时都能碰到 Ape。很神奇的感觉，一个完全陌生的城市，因为有一群真正关心你的朋友，一点都不觉得陌生。
-见到了很多 OG，也认识了不少新 Ape。几乎没人聊地板价，大家就是单纯地开心、聊天、叙旧。那种 2021 年的感觉又回来了。
很多人为了这趟旅行，花的钱可能相当于一只 Mutant，甚至一只 BAYC。但对很多 OG 来说，能见到大家，比花多少时间和钱都重要。
-Beeple Studios 真的挤满了人，路边停车估计排出去一英里。这次也来了很多其他收藏家，现场大概60%是 Ape，40%是其他人。
场地、视觉、音乐、体验都很有品味。参加过几百场活动，个人一直觉得 Ape 的活动在审美和细节上很突出。尤其在 AI 时代，taste 真的会成为很大的护城河。
-Mudwater 买包的队伍排得很长，大家买完就现场拆包，玩得不亦乐乎。
-还有个很好笑的事，很多重要公告都是线上发的，结果大家在现场玩得太开心，网络又特别差，反而没法第一时间看到消息 😂
-Ape 有自己的独立区域，表演、吃喝、各种体验都安排得很用心。能感觉到 Yuga 团队和 Beeple Studios 为这次活动花了很多时间和精力。
-最喜欢的还是人。大家真的很友善，很多时候你还没开口，就有人主动来帮忙。很久没感受到这么纯粹的社区氛围了。
三天下来最大的感受是，BAYC 早就不只是一个 NFT 项目了。价格可以一夜之间涨跌，但文化、人与人之间的关系，还有忠诚度，是需要很多年慢慢积累的。
-永远尊重那些在困难时期还坚持建设的人，也尊重那些在低谷时依然愿意出现、支持彼此的社区。
这三天真的很开心，见到这么多老朋友，也认识了很多新朋友。
这次没来得及见面的，评论区留个 gm，我去关注一下 🫡

tldr of apefest charleston 2026 after 3 days:
- 1000+ apes here, probably close to 2k ppl in total. way more than i expected. ppl traveled from asia, europe, dubai and everywhere, some with 3 layovers just to be here.
- first time in charleston, but everywhere i walked, i ran into apes. a new city doesn’t feel lonely when you have friends who truly love and care about you.
- lots of OGs, lots of new apes. not many ppl talked about floor price. everyone was just happy to see each other. 2021 vibes.
- some ppl spent the equivalent of 1 mutant to 1 bayc just to attend. for OGs, getting together means more than the time and money.
- beeple studios was packed. cars parked probably a mile down the street. around 60% apes and 40% non-ape collectors.
- venue, visuals, music and experiences were top tier. been to hundreds of events, but ape events always stand out for their attention to detail and taste. personally think taste is a big moat in the ai era.
- mudwater purchase line was long. ppl were just having fun buying and ripping packs.
- funny that announcements happened online while everyone was having fun IRL with terrible internet
- apes had their own area with performances, food, drinks and experiences. you can tell the team and beeple studios put a lot of effort into this.
- ppl were genuinely kind, helping each other without asking. even when things didn’t go as planned, the vibes stayed amazing.
- biggest takeaway: BAYC is way more than an NFT collection. price can change overnight, but culture, relationships and loyalty take years to build.
- always respect builders who build during hard times and communities who show up at lows.
so good to see you all and safe travels, please leave a gm for me to follow if you went but we didn’t get to meet.
appreciate you!

day 2 charleston apefest takeaways:
-main event at beeple studios. sooooo many ppl! (1000+) cars parked on the street probably all the way a mile away. this might be the first apefest that invited other collectors (beeple’s list). ratio was about 6 apes / 4 non apes.
-all announcements happened online. funny that we were all together irl but with such bad internet signals we couldn’t even get updated info lol
-venue and setup were really nice. ape elements everywhere.
-best club when it comes to taste. i’ve been to hundreds of events but ape events are always very detail oriented. from visuals to music to overall experience. personally think this is a big moat for the team. taste is gold in the ai era.
-apes had a separate area with performances, food, drinks and experiences.
-vibes were amazing! ppl are genuinely kind and help each other without being asked. reminded me of the 2021 vibes.
-you can tell the yuga team and beeple studios put a lot of time and effort into this. respect.
-one small detail i really liked. usually when you don’t sign up for an event, you’re just told to leave. but at the yuga builders brunch, they took ppl who didn’t register to a bar next door, got them drinks and let them hang out until seats opened up. super sweet and thoughtful.
-there were only events i couldn’t make it to, not like there were no events to go to.
-good balance of fun + social + news + performances. offset was dope!
worth my time being here. will come again. it’s the ppl and the little details that make apefest special.

最好的俱乐部 @BoredApeYC 🦍
刚在中国 BAYC 群里看到 V姐分享的现场照片。
从满墙的 Ape，到这些有趣的机器人，真的太酷了。
虽然没能到现场，但隔着屏幕都能感受到这份热闹。
这就是我一直喜欢 BAYC 社区的原因。
Once an Ape, always an Ape. 🦍

这两天整个NFT圈的流量，基本都被ApeFest抢走了。
看着世界各地的猿人在Charleston集合，从社区局、街头活动一路玩到Beeple Studios，现场还有机器人、艺术装置和一群熟悉的老面孔。我最大的感受是：
币价和地板价能跌，真正的俱乐部氛围很难复制。
这次 @BoredApeYC 还给全部BAYC和MAYC空投了6,551个ERC-6551 Totem，用来领取新项目Mudwater的卡包：
BAYC每只可领10包，MAYC每只可领2包，每包10张卡。首套“Swamp Origins”共有120种猿猴主题卡面，既有Solana链上版本，也有对应的实体收藏卡，里面还有Foil、编号卡和稀有的Cracked-Ice 1/1。
我觉得更有意思的是它的分配机制：
Mudwater二级交易会收取2.5%的$APE Reflection，用这笔费用回购APE，再按持有数量分给卡包和卡牌持有人；另外2.5%归创作者。项目方和收藏者基本五五分，交易越活跃，持有人收到的APE越多。
很多人以前担心Yuga继续发新系列会稀释BAYC。我反而觉得，一个IP想走得远，就得不断长出新角色、新收藏品和新玩法。迪士尼也不是靠一只米老鼠撑到今天的。
我入圈这些年看到大部分项目熊市一来，群散了，人跑了，官网都懒得续费。无聊猿从2021年走到现在，地板价早已不是巅峰，但全球持有人依然愿意专程飞到同一座城市，穿着猿猴衣服，线下喝酒、打牌、办活动，再一起等新的东西落地。
这才是Club真正值钱的地方。
市场上可以有无数个NFT项目，但说到Web3里最有文化、最有归属感、也最能把线上头像变成线下关系的俱乐部，我还是那句话：
最好的俱乐部，就是无聊猿俱乐部。
BAYC和MAYC持有人记得只通过官方地址领取Mudwater，别点评论区和私信里的野链接：
