### Who Are the Founders of Bored Apes XRP Club?
The founders of the Bored Apes XRP Club are not publicly known individuals. The project was initiated by an anonymous persona known as BoredApesXRP in the XRPL community. The use of pseudonyms or anonymity is quite common in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, allowing creators to maintain privacy while fostering a focus on the project’s technology and community rather than on individual identities.

### Rebrand
On November 5, 2023, the Bored Apes XRP Club took a significant leap forward by rebranding as Based Labs. This move not only signifies the expansion of their NFT portfolio—which now includes the original Bored Apes, along with the newly introduced Hogs and Baysed Birds—but also teases a mysterious fourth collection that's yet to be named. The rebrand to Based Labs reflects the project's evolution and ambition to drive innovation and engagement in the XRPL NFT community, building on the legacy that the Bored Apes XRP Club established.
