Otherside Land Sale: A Practical Guide for 2026

The Otherside land sale was a one-time primary mint held in 2022. It offered Otherdeeds, Ethereum NFTs associated with virtual land in Yuga Labs’ Otherside metaverse. The public sale price was 305 APE per Otherdeed, with Ethereum network gas charged separately. That primary sale is over; there is no reason to expect a 2026 buyer can mint at the original price.

If you’re looking at an Otherdeed now, you’re considering a secondary-market purchase from an existing holder, if a listing is available. You’ll need to assess the NFT, its asking price, transaction costs, current utility and resale risk rather than relying on the original sale announcement.

Keep these points in mind:

• An Otherdeed is a digital collectible, not a deed to physical land.
• The original APE price doesn’t tell you what an NFT is worth today.
• A wallet transaction can be irreversible; check the asset and total cost before signing.

The rest of this guide explains the sale, the costs and the checks to make before you decide whether to buy.

The sale took place on April 30, 2022. Yuga Labs offered 55,000 Otherdeeds to the public at 305 APE apiece. A further allocation brought the planned collection to 100,000 Otherdeeds; not all of those NFTs were part of the public mint. The public sale sold out amid intense demand.

Otherdeeds are NFTs on Ethereum. Each is associated with a virtual plot in Otherside, and the collection was presented as having game-related elements rather than being only a static picture. Some Otherdeeds are associated with Kodas, characters connected to the project. What an individual NFT contains or supports can differ, so inspect its specific token and current project details rather than assuming every plot has the same attributes.

A plot’s digital representation does not make it equivalent to land in the real world. It doesn’t give you physical property rights, a guaranteed return, or a guaranteed place in a future game. Any use depends on the project’s software, rules and ongoing development. Treat the NFT as a high-risk digital asset whose utility and demand can change.

The public mint price was 305 APE for each Otherdeed. That was the NFT price, not the total cost of getting it into your wallet. Buyers also paid Ethereum gas, which is a separate network fee and can rise sharply when many people try to transact at once.

The sale’s heavy demand congested Ethereum. As a result, some participants faced unusually high gas costs or failed transactions. A failed mint attempt can still consume gas, so a transaction that doesn’t deliver an NFT may still cost money. This is one reason not to treat a mint price as a complete budget.

For a present-day secondary purchase, budget for the full transaction rather than comparing only listing prices:

Cost	What to check
NFT price	The seller’s current asking price and payment token
Ethereum gas	The estimate shown by your wallet before signing
Marketplace charges	Any platform fee shown at checkout
Possible creator royalties	Whether a royalty is displayed and how it is applied

Fees and gas can change. Don’t approve a transaction if the final amount is unclear or higher than you intended.

You can no longer join the original public mint. If you want an Otherdeed, the available route is to consider an existing NFT offered on a secondary marketplace. OpenSea is one place NFT buyers may look, but listings and platform features can change. Check that the collection and contract are genuine; a familiar marketplace name does not make every listing safe.

Before connecting a wallet or making an offer:

1. Find the collection through Otherside’s official project channels, then compare its contract details with the marketplace listing.
2. Check the token ID, artwork and attributes for the exact Otherdeed you’re considering.
3. Review the seller, listing price, payment token and any marketplace charges.
4. Confirm your wallet’s total, including ETH for gas, before signing.
5. Read the wallet prompt. Reject unexpected permissions or a transaction that doesn’t match your intended purchase.

A listing price is not proof that the NFT is fairly valued or easy to resell. Look at recent completed sales for comparable items, if reliable data is available, but remember that past trades don’t guarantee a future buyer. Never buy because a stranger promises a certain return or urges you to act immediately.

An Otherdeed is a token linked to a virtual land plot in Otherside, not a guarantee of a finished, permanently accessible game. The project has described a world where people can build, collect resources, create and play. Features and access can depend on the project’s software and rules, which may change over time.

Before paying for a plot, decide what you expect from it. If you’re buying for a particular feature, confirm that the feature is currently available and that the specific token qualifies. If you’re buying mainly for its artwork or community significance, ask whether you would still want it if its resale price fell or its utility changed.

Don’t assume that ownership automatically gives you revenue, commercial rights, priority access or a specific gameplay advantage. Check the current terms that apply to the NFT and the project. NFT ownership and intellectual-property rights are not the same thing: possessing a token does not necessarily transfer copyright or broad rights to use the associated artwork. Treat promotional language about future utility as uncertain until the project delivers it and its terms support your intended use.

The biggest risk in the original sale was the combination of fixed mint costs and crowded Ethereum. The 305 APE price did not include gas, and surging demand made transactions costly. For a secondary purchase, the main risks shift to paying too much, buying a counterfeit or misrepresented NFT, and assuming that future utility or resale demand is certain.

Use this checklist before you commit:

• Confirm the asset: Verify the collection and contract against official Otherside channels, not a message or ad sent by a stranger.
• Check the token: Review the specific NFT’s token ID, attributes and transaction history.
• Calculate the total: Include the listing price, gas and displayed marketplace charges.
• Read each wallet prompt: Don’t sign a transaction you can’t explain. Avoid granting broad permissions unless you understand why they’re needed.
• Set a loss limit: Only risk money you can afford to lose; an NFT can become difficult to sell or lose much of its value.

No secondary-market price is guaranteed. Marketplaces may display asking prices that never result in a sale. A high listing, floor price or past sale is not a promise of what you can later get for your Otherdeed.

Avoid treating the original mint price as a benchmark for a 2026 purchase. APE’s value changes, and the secondary market has different demand, costs and risks. The fact that an NFT once sold for a particular amount does not establish its current value.

Also avoid these common mistakes:

• Confusing virtual land with real estate. An Otherdeed is a digital NFT, not a legal title to a physical plot.
• Forgetting gas. Ethereum fees are separate and can make a seemingly affordable purchase more expensive.
• Trusting lookalike collections. Verify the contract and token instead of relying on artwork or a familiar name.
• Signing in a rush. Read the transaction details and reject unexpected wallet requests.
• Assuming every promised feature is live. Check current project terms and confirm the specific utility you care about.
• Buying for guaranteed profit. There is no assurance you can resell at a gain, or sell quickly at all.

If you can’t confirm the NFT’s identity, understand the final transaction amount, or explain what you expect to get from owning it, pause. Missing a listing is safer than signing a transaction you don’t understand.

The original sale is part of crypto history, but it doesn’t tell you whether buying an Otherdeed is a sensible choice now. The public mint ended in 2022; in 2026, a buyer would need to assess a secondary listing and the project’s current state. The world’s features, NFT utility and market demand can all change.

A cautious decision comes down to three questions:

1. Can you verify the exact NFT? Confirm the collection, contract and token details.
2. Can you afford the full cost and the risk? Include gas and other displayed charges, and be prepared for the NFT to fall in value or become hard to sell.
3. Would you still want it without a profit or future feature? If not, don’t rely on an unconfirmed promise to justify the purchase.

If you can answer these clearly, you can make a more informed choice. If not, wait until you’ve checked the project’s current official information and the complete wallet transaction. An Otherdeed is optional exposure to a developing digital world—not a guaranteed investment or a substitute for physical property.
