Established in 2021, Yuga Labs is a digital asset incubation studio focused on shaping the future of Web3 through storytelling, experiences, and community. Yuga Labs is home to some of the most successful non-fungible token collections, including the Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Bored Ape Kennel Club, Twelvefold, Otherdeeds, and more.
Last week, Yuga Labs partnered with Nina Chanel Abney, the digital artist behind the Super Cool World non-fungible token collection, to launch an airdrop to its holders. Nina Chanel’s Super Cool World is an NFT collection featuring a limited supply of 5,080 NFTs made up of hundreds of traits that reflect her frenetic collage-like approach to visual media.

Nine Abney, renowned for her hilarious artwork with Pharrell Williams’ Gallery of Digital Assets (GODA) and South Park animations, aimed to infuse CryptoPunks with her creative vision.
Unfortunately, Nina Abney’s “woke” artworks quickly attracted criticism, prompting Yuga Labs to stop the collection’s advancement. The crypto and NFT community on X (formerly Twitter) questioned its artistry, conceptual orientation, and perspectives on social issues related to racial and gender discourses.
