Beargorand V2 Launches

Bored Alien Squad Project Closed

The Bored Alien Squad project have officially closed their project following an announcement made on their Twitter account. The statement reads as follows:


“Dear Community, Bored Alien Squad was launched with a desire to advance the power of NFTs to connect people, create community and have fun. We have worked hard to do all of those things, but we have failed to maintain the trust necessary to accomplish these goals. Through these last few weeks, we have received much feedback from this community relating to concerns about the originality of Bored Alien Squad images. While we are confident in our legal position as it relates to the originality of our contracted artist’s work, we understand that it is the community’s confidence that is most important for the future of this project. So while we have considered all available options for how to improve our systems, procedures, team, and model in light of these circumstances, we now see that they will all fall short of re-establishing your confidence and trust. As such, we have decided to close the Bored Alien Squad project. We have listened to the feedback, and believe this is the outcome that the community wishes to see. And since we have created this project for the community, it seems best to close this project for the community also.

Sincerely, Bored Alien Squad”


At this stage, no further comment has been made by anyone from the project.
