Launched in 2021, Yuga Labs is home to a series of NFT collections, including Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, Otherdeed for the Otherside, Sewer Pass, TwelveFold, Koda NFTs and Bored Ape Yacht Club.

ROAR combines innovative proprietary technology with established MMO game and platform systems to produce an entirely new product category.

Following the acquisition, Reid will join the Yuga Labs team as the General Manager of Otherside.
