Yuga Labs Transfers Meebits IP to MeebCo for Future Expansion

Yuga Labs has formally given Meebit Company (MeebCo), a recently founded business supported by venture capital company 1confirmation, the intellectual property rights to the Meebits NFT collection. Yuga Labs may now concentrate on its key initiatives, like the Otherside metaverse and the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), thanks to this change. Although MeebCo has complete control over Meebits’ development and strategy, financial details are still unknown.

MeebCo is run by renowned Meebits enthusiast Sergio Silva. The company aspires to promote the Meebits brand through digital storytelling, retail, and art-driven activities. Meebits will remain part of Yuga Labs’ Otherside metaverse after this change, but MeebCo will take charge of its own development and creative direction.

Introducing Bits, A Rewards System for Holders

As part of MeebCo’s new direction, the company has launched Bits, a points-based rewards system for Meebits holders. The program allows NFT owners to accumulate Bits based on how long they have held their assets. Additionally, users can earn more points by trading Meebits on OpenSea. While MeebCo has not fully revealed how Bits will be used, the company has hinted at future perks tied to the rewards.

Despite the transfer of ownership, Yuga Labs remains involved in Meebits’ ecosystem. CEO Greg Solano expressed confidence in the transition, stating that MeebCo’s leadership understands the brand and will introduce fresh energy. Furthermore, OpenSea royalties from Meebits transactions will directly support new content, experiences, and utility for the collection.

MeebCo’s independence marks a new chapter for the Meebits community, promising both innovation and continuity under its new management.
