Yuga Labs, creator of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT collection, has launched a new puzzle series called TwelveFold that awards Bitcoin prizes to participants.
The TwelveFold puzzles are built around Yuga’s generative art collection of the same name. The company said the puzzles “stay true to the inspiration behind the collection – the relationship between time, mathematics, and variability.”
TwelveFold is a set of 300 generative art pieces inscribed onto satoshis, the smallest units of Bitcoin. The art combines 3D graphics and hand-drawn elements in symbolic 12×12 grids, representing Bitcoin data storage.
Yuga auctioned the inaugural TwelveFold collection in March, garnering $16.5 million from 288 bidders despite some criticism of inscribing NFT-like art onto Bitcoin.
For the new puzzle series starting this week, Yuga will release one “Moon Puzzle” per week for 12 weeks. Solvers will earn 0.12 BTC (around $3,090 currently) for each weekly puzzle they crack first.
On week 13, the “Sun Puzzle” will award the winner with a TwelveFold Ordinal NFT, which can cost 0.9 BTC ($23,150) or more. While anyone can participate, TwelveFold holders will get additional benefits, teased Yuga.
To play, users need an Ordinals Bitcoin wallet like Xverse or Unisat. Puzzles are downloaded from the TwelveFold site and answers are submitted on-chain via satoshis. Only one winner per puzzle is allowed.
The first Moon Puzzle has already been solved, showing demand for the crypto prize incentives. By merging Bitcoin puzzles with NFT art rewards, Yuga aims to engage its fan community in a new way.
