Mudwater, counted as it's opened.

Yuga Labs' Bored Ape trading cards on Solana: what they are, what they cost, what they actually trade for, how many exist, and where to buy them. Every number is counted from the chain or the marketplaces, every trade links to its transaction, and a card shows a price only once it has sold.

What is Mudwater? Who made it, how it works, why it exists, and the dates that matter

Who

Yuga Labs, the company behind the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), one of the best-known NFT collections, and its Mutant Ape (MAYC) companion. Mudwater is Yuga's first collection on the Solana blockchain. Its chief executive, Michael Figge, calls it an experiment in aligning projects and collectors.

What, and how it works

Timeline

  1. Claims open, announced at ApeFest 2026 in Charleston.
  2. We start counting: every card opened, every sale on OpenSea and Magic Eden.
  3. Serial-numbered packs awarded, 30 days after the claim opened (per Mudwater's site).
  4. Switching cards between printed and digital (10 USDC), and combining 24 packs into a box, 10 boxes into a case.
  5. The claim window closes.

Why it matters to a collector

It's a new set from a big name, with a fixed print run and every trade public on-chain, so supply and prices can be counted exactly from day one. That's what this page does. Every card is also a real printed card you can have shipped, so it lives in both the crypto and the card-collecting worlds.
