Yuga Labs, the powerhouse behind the iconic Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT collection, has strengthened its position in the Web3 space by acquiring the technology team from Tokenproof, a platform renowned for its secure NFT verification systems. This strategic move will see Tokenproof’s core tech team join Yuga Labs’ research and development division, “The Workshop.”
The acquisition underscores Yuga Labs’ commitment to addressing real-world challenges in the NFT ecosystem and building scalable solutions for a broader audience.
The Workshop: A New Home for Tokenproof’s Tech Team
Established in August 2024, The Workshop is Yuga Labs’ dedicated R&D hub, tasked with innovating blockchain applications and advancing NFT technologies. With the integration of Tokenproof’s skilled team, The Workshop is poised to accelerate progress in creating practical, user-friendly NFT utilities.
This collaboration builds on a relationship that began in 2022, with Yuga Labs and Tokenproof previously working together on several NFT initiatives, including ApeFest, an annual event for BAYC enthusiasts.
Have deeply enjoyed collaborating with @fonzgm and the talented tokenproof team over the past few years.

A big part of BAYC has always been about finding new ways to leverage NFTs, whether it's access for digital or physical events, merch, games, or just crazy experiments.… https://t.co/JRyDmYCXrV
According to Tokenproof founder Fonz Olvera, ApeFest 2021 inspired the creation of Tokenproof when the need for reliable NFT verification systems became apparent.
“Tokenproof was born out of ApeFest 2021 at NFTNYC,” said Fonz O. “There was no effective infrastructure to verify NFT ownership for real-world events, which sparked the idea behind Tokenproof.”
Enhancing NFT Accessibility
Yuga Labs co-founder and CEO Greg Solano highlighted the acquisition as a milestone in making NFTs more accessible and functional.
“Tokenproof’s expertise adds another layer of innovation to our work, paving the way for exciting developments in the crypto and NFT sectors,” Solano said.
Community reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with many applauding the move as a step toward bridging the gap between digital and real-world NFT applications.
Tokenproof’s Future and NFT Market Resurgence
While Tokenproof’s team transitions to Yuga Labs, Fonz O will remain active in the crypto and NFT space, stepping away from his role as the “Tokenproof guy.” The financial details of the acquisition remain undisclosed, with Fonz humorously describing its value as being “somewhere between a subway footlong and Elon Musk’s net worth.”
This acquisition aligns with a broader resurgence in NFT sales, which hit $562 million in November, the highest in six months. This renewed interest reflects a growing appetite for digital collectibles after a period of market stagnation earlier in the year.
