Calling All ‘Single’ NFT Collectors! The Lonely Ape Dating Club App is Coming, Here’s What You Need to Know

From games and entertainment to social media and lifestyle apps, the internet and technology gave birth to different kinds of mobile apps that we continue to take advantage of.

Speaking of which, mobile dating apps became trendier at the height of the pandemic, which shifted the world of dating and altered our way of bridging new connections. But as the pandemic wore on, dating apps began to be more creative and opened different opportunities. One of these is the newest and first-ever dating app for non-fungible token (NFT) collectors — the Lonely Ape Dating Club. 

Last February 2022, the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) introduced its dating app perfect for all “single” crypto enthusiasts and NFT collectors.

BAYC is a unique digital collectible on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain with around 10,000 Bored Ape NFTs programmed in different (or rare) traits, including its clothing, headwear, expression, and more. You can purchase an ape using a Metamask Wallet and each cost 0.08 ETH or S$3,965, as of writing.

Here are the unique features and other information of the Lonely Ape Dating Club app that you should know.

Release Date

The Lonely Ape Dating Club app will be launching any time soon and will only be exclusive for holders (at least one) of BAYC NFT. If you are qualified to join the BAYC dating space, register via its official website to be included on the waitlist for early access.

You Can Connect Your Crypto Wallet

Users can sign up without displaying their personal details. Simply connect your crypto wallet to filter potential matches according to their metrics such as their net worth and number of NFTs held.

Potential Matches

Other dating apps may require similar interests and interesting bios, while the Lonely Dating Club app may get you more matches by sending them tips and strategies in crypto or trading.

Coin Digger Feature

If you are a non-BAYC owner, don't worry. The Lonely Ape Dating Club app has a coin digger feature to allow you to connect with NFT collectors and holders with a higher net worth, also called the “diamond handed.” Users may collect and earn tokens for swiping and earn more matches using the match-to-earn option.

Creators

The dating platform was developed by Year 4000, popularly called Y4K. They are known as a team of hackers and NFT collectors who incorporated crypto and web 3.0 technology into the online dating world to enable users to mutually benefit from investments and assets through the dating app.
