content: Sewer Passes are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that were free to mint for holders of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) collections, released by Yuga Labs. These Sewer Passes were used as keys to playing Yuga Labs’ first skill-based minting game, Dookey Dash, where the players' scores would determine the rarity and value of their prizes. Overview Sewer Passes were free to claim starting from January 17th 2023 and the minting process ended on February 8th 2023. Members of the BAYC and MAYC were eligible to one Sewer Pass each, receiving a Sewer Pass with a tier that ranked from 1 to 4 depending on which NFTs they held. A Sewer Pass NFT was sold for 25ETH, being the most expensive sale of a Sewer Pass NFT on OpenSea, as of February 28th, 2023. Owners of Sewer Passes were able to play Yuga Labs’ endless run game, Dookey Dash, between January 18th, 2023, and February 8th, 2023, aiming to get the highest score possible. Tiers Users were given a Sewer Pass grading from tier 1 to tier 4 depending on which NFTs of the Yuga Labs collection they owned. Holders of: only the MAYC were given tier 1, MAYC and Bored Ape Kennel Club (BAKC) were given tier 2, only BAYC were given tier 3 and BAYC and BAKC were given a tier 4 Sewer Pass. Tier 1 allowed the holder to play the game as it was, whereas tier 2, 3 and 4 passes gave the user an additional of 10%, 20% and 30% to their final scores respectively. “Different tier Sewer Passes will add different point bonuses to your final score. Here’s the breakdown: Tier 4 = 30% bonus, Tier 3 = 20% bonus, Tier 2 = 10% bonus, Tier 1 = no bonus.” !2JZ4YDUSIBAYPNB7S2PDDS2UGA.jpg The Summoning The Summoning was set to take place on February 15th, 2023. In Dookey Dash, players competed for the top spot on the leaderboard, as the Sewer Pass linked to the highest score was eligible to transform into a new limited-edition NFT that was expected to evolve throughout the year. The competition ended on February 8, 2023, when the time-limited NFT mint closed, and all scores were frozen. Yuga Labs validated the scores for a week before the Summoning. The Sewer Pass only needed a score above zero to qualify for the transformation, but scores reset to zero if the pass was traded during the validation period. It was essential to keep the pass in the wallet associated with the high score to ensure eligibility. Playing for a higher score was advised, as it determined the value and rarity of the reward received, a key part of BAYC's first stage in their six stage roadmap: The Trial of Jimmy the Monkey.
