When it comes to NFT project popularity, there\u2019s no contest: The Bored Ape Yacht Club<\/a> will take the cake every time. Having established near dominance over the PFP NFT market<\/a>, Yuga Labs and its expansive BAYC ecosystem have continued to maintain their hold on Web3, even when announcements and project updates were few and far between.<\/p>\n But now, the next chapter of BAYC has been initiated, sending the NFT community into a frenzy. Launched via a short film titled The Trial of Jimmy the Monkey<\/em><\/a>, the forthcoming phase of BAYC\u2019s lore has prompted excitement, skepticism, and speculation. So to clear the air before Yuga\u2019s impending mint event arrives, we\u2019ve compiled this short guide featuring everything you need to know about this BAYC universe expansion.<\/p>\n Everything begins with the new BAYC short film The Trial of Jimmy the Monkey<\/em>. At nearly two minutes long, the animated offering centers on a character named Jimmy, who provides a basis for a new chapter of the Bored Apes\u2019 story. Packed with action and humor (albeit lowbrow at times, but who could blame them), the film features a mysterious box and key presented to a group of partying BAYC members by way of a time-traveling toilet knight.<\/p>\n \nThe Trial of Jimmy the Monkey<\/h2>\n
