About Roadmap 2.0
In September of 2021, Bored Ape Yacht Club revealed its "Roadmap 2.0," which included revealing the narrative point. It essentially gave an updated version of its aims for the future of the BAYC community and its apelike surroundings. Users can discover a desolate manacled monkey in the top corner. The name of the roadmap was ‘the trial of Jimmy the Monkey.’
Jimmy The Monkey has discreetly played a tiny part in the BAYC ecology since the project's beginnings, but no revelation of its official genesis narrative or history. Further, Jimmy has been kept in the background, playing a little mischievous role in certain early Yuga Labs riddles.
There was an increase of 13% to 5.1 ETH in BAKC floor price 24 hours after the tweet, benefiting projects inside the Bored Ape ecosystem.
