BAYC Council represents the governance and community layer of the Bored Ape Yacht Club, a collection of 10,000 NFTs that launched in April 2021 and function as membership passes to a digital club. The council works alongside Yuga Labs, which helped launch ApeChain in 2024, a Layer 2 blockchain built to power the Yugaverse. The broader ecosystem also includes ApeCoin, a utility and governance token launched on March 17, 2022 by the APE Foundation for the APE ecosystem connected to BAYC.
BAYC Council operates within an ecosystem that has faced regulatory scrutiny. In October 2022, the SEC was reported to be investigating Yuga Labs over whether certain NFTs and ApeCoin should be subject to securities regulations, though Yuga Labs had not been accused of wrongdoing. Separately, a class action lawsuit filed on December 8, 2022 alleged that Yuga Labs promoted an unregistered security through undisclosed celebrity endorsements; that lawsuit was reported as dismissed in September 2025. BAYC Council has been mentioned by 86 accounts, with 256 total mentions, and has published 2,010 posts since joining in 2022.
