NFT digital art has become popular recently, and everyone must have seen the most expensive series of Bored Ape Yacht Club! Recently, American media found the founders of the series Wylie Aronow and Greg Solano through public business records. Although the two did not respond positively, their identities have been confirmed by Yuga Labs, the parent company of BAYC.
The American media BuzzFeed discovered the two boring Ape co-founders by publishing the business registration information of Yuga Labs, the parent company of BAYC. Aronow, 35, is from Miami and uses the pseudonym Gordon Goner; the other is Solano, 32, who uses the pseudonym Gargamel. He is an editor and book critic. He has also co-authored game-related books with the designers of “Warcraft”. After the identities were exposed, neither Solano nor Aronow responded positively, but the two posted “Web2 me vs. Web3 me” on Twitter at the same time. The true identities of the two were finally confirmed by Nicole Muniz, CEO of Yuga Labs.

In addition to Solano and Aronow, Boring Ape also has two co-founders, two engineers under the aliases No Sass and Emperor Tomato Ketchup; and the artist who designed the ape-man shape was accused of being Seneca, an Asian-American artist employed by Yuga Labs. The current market value of the Boring Ape collection has reached US 22.8 billion (approximately HK港币21.84 billion); even the cheapest collection has a reserve price of more than US。280,000. Yuga Labs, the company that made Boring apes, will receive a 2.5% royalty from the transaction in the future.
