Meebits Acquires Iconic NFT Collection from Yuga Labs
A New Chapter for Meebits and the NFT Community
The Meebits NFT collection is embarking on an exciting new journey as The Meebit Company (MeebCo), founded by Sergio Silva and backed by 1confirmation, has officially acquired the Meebits intellectual property (IP) from Yuga Labs. This acquisition marks a pivotal moment for the Meebits brand, emphasizing community engagement, creative expansion, and new immersive experiences in the metaverse.
This transition also signifies a shift for Yuga Labs, which will now sharpen its focus on flagship projects like the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Otherside metaverse while entrusting the future of Meebits to a team deeply passionate about the voxel-based 3D characters.
Meebits: A Legacy of Digital Creativity
Created by Larva Labs in 2021, the Meebits NFT collection introduced a fresh take on 3D voxel characters, designed for use in metaverse environments, gaming, and other digital spaces. The collection gained traction among NFT enthusiasts for its interoperability and creative potential, allowing holders to use their avatars across various virtual worlds.
In 2022, Yuga Labs acquired Meebits along with CryptoPunks, further solidifying its dominance in the NFT space. However, with this latest move, Yuga Labs is doubling down on its core vision for Otherside, while MeebCo takes the reins to guide Meebits into its next evolution.
MeebCo’s Vision for the Future
Under Sergio Silva’s leadership, MeebCo aims to push Meebits beyond their original scope, blending art, digital collectibles, and real-world experiences. Silva, a longtime Meebits collector, expressed his deep connection to the project:
