BAYC launches community committee
Yuga Labs is one of the most influential companies in NFT. Last week, BAYC announced the establishment of a community council and appointed 7 members. They are all BAYC holders and are expected to formally represent the voices of community members.
Yuga Labs says this community representation mechanism could also be integrated into the company’s other NFT projects, including blue-chip NFTs CryptoPunks and Meebits.
The formation of the committee, and BAYC and MAYC within it, have received mixed reviews, but are generally well-received by members of the BAYC community.

Hugo Boss, Wrangler adopt NFT
We've featured various fashion brands exploring Crypto and NFTs over the years.
From designer brands such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Burberry, to sports brands such as Adidas and Nike, and everything in between, we're seeing a variety of brands take many different and unique approaches to the Web3 market.
Still, “metaverse fashion” is still largely in its infancy, with brands generally exploring uncharted territory with few practical examples to study.
Last week, two major names in fashion, Hugo Boss and Wrangler, joined the NFT space. Despite their different positioning in the fashion apparel market, both brands have found suitable partners in the NFT space.
Hugo Boss has established a cooperative relationship with Web3 company Imagine Ones, and the two parties use the NFT series as the starting point of cooperation. The first generation of the NFT collaboration series is expected to launch next month.
Wrangler, the pioneer in the denim market, has found an NFT partner that is more in line with the "casual fit" tone, and that is to cooperate with the NFT series Deadfellaz.
