Yuga Labs, the NFT developer behind the popular Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection, has unveiled a new product that simplifies the onboarding process for both users and developers. The tool, Glyph, also serves as the next iteration of Yuga ID, providing users with access to applications on the ApeChain.
According to Yuga Labs’ co-founder, Greg Solano, Glyph is designed in a manner that allows any ApeChain builder to utilize it. ApeChain is a network that powers decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, NFTs, digital collectibles, and metaverses. The network is powered by ApeCoin (APE).
Glyph makes interactions with ApeChain easy. The tool is a hub for wallet integration, fiat on-ramping, and on-chain activities. Yuga Labs partnered with several Made by Apes businesses and ApeChain-based NFT platforms to launch the product. These entities, including CryptoRunGames, WinPad, GeezOnApe, Mintotaurs, ApeCtrlCom, H00dOffical, Top Gobs, Deck0xyz, Foxy Fam, Typrical Tigers, DashBo, and Other Page, have all integrated Glyph into their decentralized applications (dApps).
As the next evolution of Yuga ID, users need to connect their existing Yuga ID profile to utilize the tool. Yuga Labs launched Yuga ID in July 2024, enabling users to interact with multiple native platforms using a single, centralized identifier. Users can now interact with Glyph with their Yuga ID or create new accounts on Glyph with just their X or email logins.
It is worth mentioning that a good number of Yuga Labs users have already interacted with Glyph. Solano revealed that people who have claimed some of the Formula One (F1) collectibles on ApeChain over the last few days used the tool.
As part of their partnership with the ApeCoin decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), the F1 racing team, BWT Alpine F1 Team, has released new digital collectibles featuring 2025 race posters.
The F1 team entered a multi-year partnership with the APE Foundation about a year ago, making the Web3 entity its official sponsor. The alliance aims to unite token holders worldwide through a collaborative approach that incorporates race events and Web3 integrations. The race poster collectibles, released in late May, are some of the fruits of the partnership.
Yuga Labs stated that users who interacted with Glyph to collect the 2025 Race Posters encountered no gas fees or wallet setup requirements. Will the NFT developer eventually include fee sponsorship features for Glyph? Stay tuned for more updates.
