Divitverse: Aaron got a Claynosaurz + got rugged by RichClassDecor.
The Spaces brought together host Aaron Heber, co-host Ernest, and guests from the Claynosaurz community to discuss cross-chain NFT experiences, community-first IP building, and project updates. Aaron and Ernest shared why they each bought a Claynosaurz and praised the team’s responsiveness (Andrew, Swift) and the broader ethos of prioritizing collectors over traders. Mika (Claynosaurz) highlighted Solana onboarding, the need for seamless cross-chain UX, Popkins on Sui, and access to a Gameloft-built mobile game beta via Discord. Cab, Claynosaurz cofounder, detailed the team’s animation pedigree (Sony, Paddington 2, Jurassic World) and confirmed tokenized shares (equity) for holders as the franchise grows (TV in production, game, Hebu umbrella). The session also covered ApeChain’s Exodus mini-game (Glyph wallet), UX lessons from Starbucks Odyssey, and Yuga Labs’ Amazon Gaming proof-of-concept avatar as a signal for interoperable, ownable game assets. Major in-house updates included the DiviVerse rebrand to Unvault (sign up at unvault.com) and the relaunch of bullsontheblock.com with wallet connect, claim checks for Evos/Bears, and on-chain avatar pipelines for Otherside and Nifty Island. Community notes spanned events, builders (Kade’s dev team), and action steps for holders across ecosystems.

Key announcements and updates
- Rebrand: DiviVerse account and Spaces will transition to “Unvault.”
- Action: sign up for updates at unvault.com (chain-agnostic; supports ETH, Solana, etc.).
- Timing: rename pending due to gold-check account process.
- Bulls on the Block: new website launched at bullson theblock.com.
- Features: connect wallet, view Bulls/Bears/Evos, check and mint unclaimed Evos or Bears directly from site.
- OG Bulls that were previously vaulted for Evo claims are now free to use; vault requirement period has ended.
- Avatars: Otherside and Nifty Island avatars are complete (Bears ready first; Bulls following); verification/onboarding in progress with Otherside team. All assets will be minted on-chain.
- Build: ODK for Otherside is in hand; early build planning underway.
- ApeChain “Exodus” game: live event with Glyph wallet.
- Mechanic: link Glyph to the wallet holding your ApeChain assets; choose communities to boost; launch rockets, earn points and badges.
- Tip: two launches per collection per NFT; you can use the same NFT twice if launches remain.
- Community: SDK included; strong community participation acknowledged.
- Yuga Labs x Amazon Gaming: “BoxingUs” character launched.
- Framed as a proof-of-concept for on-chain game asset ownership vs traditional skins (e.g., Fortnite); expectation of further Amazon-related announcements soon (hints toward Monday).
- Events: Nifty Island game event planned for Sunday 5 PM PT (official posts typically go out close to the date). Regular community poker nights continue.
Claynosaurz (project deep dive and community engagement)
- Why Aaron bought in:
- Exceptional team and community responsiveness: Swift (community experience), Andrew (CEO), and founders reached out immediately; flood of supportive DMs and info from holders.
- Founders’ pedigree: OG animators from studios such as Pixar, Marvel, Disney; ethos aligned with creator empowerment (royalties, IP ownership, sustainable fan-first growth).
- Collector-first philosophy:
- Preference for communities and IP-driven value over short-term floor price dynamics. Acceptance that life-changing sales are valid; still, founders should serve the majority who are here for the art, IP, and community.
- Chain experience and UX friction:
- Aaron and Ernest shifted from ETH-maxi habits to try Solana; initial hurdles included wallet setup (Phantom), bridging, marketplace issues (Magic Eden instability; OpenSea not supporting Solana at the time).
- Desired future: chain abstraction—simple UX, fiat or any-token checkout, seamless cross-chain purchases where users don’t need to know the underlying chain.
- Analogies/examples: Starbucks Odyssey (email-based “Magic Link” sign-in; NFTs as “Journey Stamps” without heavy chain evangelism); Glyph wallet on ApeChain (email/Twitter sign-in; easier onboarding).
- Popkins on Sui:
- Popkins are Claynosaurz assets on Sui (multi-chain IP strategy). Additional complexity acknowledged (classes, “clay” resources for classing, etc.).
- Mobile game with Gameloft:
- Third round of beta testing via TestFlight; sign-up through the Claynosaurz Discord form (NDA required). In-depth mobile gameplay experience; free to try for holders (BOTH Claynosaurz and Popkin holders eligible).
- Dwayne already signed up.
- Tokenized equity for holders (Hēbū franchise):
- Claynosaurz will allocate tokenized shares representing a percentage of the entire franchise (Hēbū), not just character/IP fragments.
- Scope: TV show in production, Gameloft mobile game, content/social growth, and acquired IPs like Nobody Sausage under Hēbū’s umbrella.
- Rationale: previous “assign IP rights to holders” models were uneven or impractical (e.g., reliance on individual holder entrepreneurship or limited rev-share to featured characters). Tokenized shares aim to align value with the whole franchise performance and reward the community that powered early growth.
- Note: formal campaigns and detailed communications to come; not aggressively promoted yet.
- Cab’s background:
- Animation supervisor and animator with credits across major franchises (Paddington 2, Fantastic Beasts, Alien: Covenant, multiple Marvel titles, Jurassic World, Game of Thrones—excluding S8). He personally animated ~50% of the OG Claynosaurz collection. Now focused on BD/PR and enabling the creative team.
- IP usage guidance:
- Claynosaurz welcomes holder initiatives; suggested process is to ask the team for approval. Cab and Andrew open to a dedicated Q&A next week to discuss Aaron’s ideas and broader holder IP usage.
Yuga Labs x Amazon Gaming: Ownership vs skins
- BoxingUs (Yuga x Amazon Gaming) is seen as a critical step toward mainstream game platforms embracing on-chain asset ownership.
- Comparison to Fortnite: users buy skins but don’t truly own them; NFTs allow persistent ownership and tradability beyond the game’s lifespan.
- Community commentary suggests BoxingUs is a proof-of-concept; more announcements expected soon. Implications include ApeCoin-based transactions and ApeChain involvement.
Board Council/DiviVerse/Unvault: mission and portfolio
- Mission: help collections survive and monetize sustainably; help collectors monetize IP without needing to sell their assets.
- Legal structuring: “The Divi” licensing framework to enable compliant royalty sharing with holders.
- Portfolio and partners:
- Owned/operated: Bulls on the Block, Bears on the Block, Evos.
- Managed: SDK Dolls, Trashy Treasure Boxes, Project Grails (among others).
- Dev and creative partners: Caden’s team (web), Ditto (avatars), John Winchell (SDK). Caden is now an active NFT participant (acquired a Mutant; supported BAYC events at ApeFest).
Bulls on the Block: site relaunch and avatar rollout
- bullson theblock.com is live; users can:
- Connect their wallet and view all Bulls/Bears/Evos holdings.
- Check eligibility and mint any unclaimed Evos or Bears directly on-site.
- Monitor avatar availability and download status (site will surface 3D files once verification is finalized).
- Avatars and builds:
- Bears avatars finished and prioritized for Otherside verification; Bulls avatars completed by Ditto (fine-tuning under way). Nifty Island versions also complete.
- On-chain minting approach; not storing assets off-chain.
- Target (subject to change): Bears live on Otherside as early as next Thursday; Bulls by the end of November.
- ODK: secured for Otherside; early build planning has started.
Community partners and shout-outs
- ApeChain Hub: thanked for including SDK in the ApeChain Exodus event; Glyph onboarding praised.
- Mingles (MBA Memo): delivered on tequila promises at ApeFest (bottle wrapping praised); Kava tokens/NFT staking continues; Memo registered for Unvault and expressed interest in founder-level collaboration.
- Rich Class Decor: gifted a high-quality ApeCoin-themed rug; meticulous shipping/packaging; highly recommended by Ernest (owns multiple, including very large pieces).
Opinions and strategic viewpoints
- Collector-first stance: projects should prioritize long-term holders and IP/community over day-trader floor focus.
- UX needs: cross-chain friction remains a barrier and fuels tribalism; future should abstract chain complexity for mainstream adoption (fiat and multi-token payments, simple front-ends).
- Communications: founders must continually restate mission and milestones in a low-attention environment; “tooting your horn” is necessary to counter information overload.
- Security posture: caution with unknown sites remains wise given 2021’s widespread scams (balance UX convenience with security best practices).
Action items and how to get involved
- Unvault: sign up at unvault.com to receive early updates on the chain-agnostic platform.
- Bulls on the Block:
- Visit bullson theblock.com to connect your wallet, check unclaimed mints (Evos/Bears), and later retrieve 3D avatars once verified.
- Report any bugs to Caden’s team; site is live and being actively hardened.
- ApeChain Exodus:
- Set up a Glyph wallet (attach to your asset-holding wallet), fund minimal gas, and participate in launches. You can do two launches per collection per NFT (re-using the same NFT if launches remain).
- Claynosaurz mobile game beta:
- Join the Discord and complete the form; sign the NDA; receive TestFlight access to round 3 beta.
- Events:
- Nifty Island event Sunday 5 PM PT; check Discord/X for final details.
- Community poker: see Discord for current schedule.
- IP collaboration:
- Aaron/Ernest to coordinate a session next week with Cab and Andrew to align on Claynosaurz holder IP usage and potential collaborations.
Risks, challenges, and timelines
- Cross-chain/platform support remains uneven (e.g., OpenSea’s Solana support, marketplace stability), adding friction for newcomers.
- Verification timelines (Otherside avatars) and on-chain mint processes can shift; dates are aspirational and may move.
- Continued need for safe wallet practices amid phishing and scam risks.
Closing notes
- The Spaces will continue on the usual cadence (Tues/Thurs) as branding transitions to Unvault.
- DMs are now open for Ernest.
- Community gratitude: to Claynosaurz family (including Swift and Andrew), ApeChain Hub, Caden’s dev team, Mingles, and all attendees for an engaged, constructive session.
