The images were part of the “Bored Ape Yacht Club” collection of NFTs - a set of 10,000 computer generated cartoon apes, made by the US-based company Yuga Labs. Owners of the ape NFTs become members of an online club. An NFT is a digital asset that uses blockchain technology to record who owns a digital object such as an image, video or in-game item. While anyone can view the asset in question, only the buyer can say they are the “official” owner.
