🚨 Sewer Pass Claim LIVE 

After much anticipation, the Sewer Pass claim started yesterday for all BAYC and MAYC holders. These Passes serve as access to the Dookey Dash, a game where users try to get the highest score for a prize that has yet to be announced. At the time of writing, the total sales volume for the passes is approximately $17 million (11,421 ETH).

πŸ’‘ How do the passes work?The passes are broken up into 4 tiers. Depending on whether you held a BAYC or MAYC, you were either a Tier 3 or Tier 1, respectively. But if you also held a BAKC in the same wallet, you would go to Tier 4 or Tier 2. One metric that Yuga Labs added was related to secondary sales. In their contract, Yuga blocked zero-royalty marketplaces, such as Blur and Looksrare. This is done to ensure Yuga’s 5% creator royalty actually gets enforced. Due to this, OpenSea seems to be the primary marketplace for Sewer Pass transactions, and the floor prices for each tier are listed below (last night).

πŸ’‘ The DropThis game has been anticipated for quite some time and based on market sentiment, it seems like the mint has been a total success, thus far. The claim is still active for a few weeks, so we do expect more passes to hit the secondary market. But despite that, doing almost $10 million in secondary sales within 24 hours of launch is unprecedented, especially in the market that we reside in today. Congratulations, Yuga, and good luck to all of those partaking in the Dookey Dash. WAGMI
