Tomorrow, we open the doors to the Koda Nexus. It's a new chapter for Otherside.

For the nerds: Think of the Nexus as our Stormwind. Our Orgrimmar. A home base. A hub. It's filled with districts to explore, an ancient temple at its core, and an ever-shifting set of challenges and trials. It's a city that will keep evolving, every few weeks.

Look down from the Nexus and you'll see the entire map of Otherside glowing beneath you, a constellation of worlds waiting to be explored. It's the Nexus that you'll return to between adventures down below.

Just as important is what you won't see in the Nexus. Under the hood, we've hidden the wires of crypto. You can log in with X or email, and instantly get a self-custodied wallet behind the scenes.

Otherside is a virtual world where ownership and crypto rails are native to the experience, not bolted on afterthoughts. Everything you accumulate, from items and avatars to badges and rewards, can live on-chain.

When you collect, craft, or earn something, you're doing just that. Onchain and verifiably. When you build something, you control it.

That's part of what makes Otherside the perfect canvas for us to collaborate with some of the biggest companies and artists in the world. Like Amazon's first NFT, or a digital avatar with Daniel Arsham. Each partnership deepens how people experience culture through crypto.

Otherside is also a place where every web3 community can win. Dozens of new communities are already showing up using our open avatar standards, and more appear every week. But avatars are just the start.

Soon, you’ll queue up inside the Nexus for custom game experiences, like Bathroom Blitz and Outbreak. There's plenty more on the horizon. Our goal: more fun, user-created experiences on Otherside, our platform, than most blockchains have, period. We want to make Otherside one of the most empowering places for creators.

Our crypto-native approach is our unfair advantage. It's the benefit of building a virtual world with crypto baked in. Permissionless rails, instant payments, and programmable creator royalties. All on ApeChain, and powered by ApeCoin.

In 2026, we’ll go deeper, with a fully immersive, strategic resource game that expands the world in new ways. The real magic of Otherside will come from the builders who make their Otherdeed their own.

See you tomorrow on the Otherside 🫡
