Bored Ape Kennel Club

LIMITED-TIME ONLY CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS SPECS

For one week, each and every club member will be able to adopt a Club Dog NFT from the Bored Ape Kennel Club. Claiming the token is free; you'll only have to pay gas.

These pups are not for sale. The only way to adopt one is to claim it by having a Bored Ape in your wallet. You can claim one random Club Dog for each Bored Ape you own. Once a dog has been claimed by a Bored Ape, that token cannot be used to claim another canine again.

At the time of minting, the dogs will be unrevealed. After one week, at 6pm EST on June 25th, the adoption drive will come to a close. A randomized starting index will be set, and everyone will be able to meet their companion.

The unclaimed dogs? They'll be released into the swamp, never to be seen again.

The BAKC collection will have a 2.5% royalty fee associated with secondary sales on OpenSea. All proceeds we generate from this fee will be donated to charity. We're looking at several no-kill animal shelters to donate to, and intend to donate via The Giving Block. The first donation would be to Wright-Way Rescue. After six weeks, we'll remove the 2.5% fee from OpenSea entirely.

Let's rescue some pooches, apes.

There are 10,000 total Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs. Each BAKC dog is stored as an ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain and hosted on IPFS. Every dog in the kennel club is unique and programmatically-generated from over 170 possible traits. Some traits are rarer than others.
