How many Bored Apes are lost forever? This was the initial question that I sought to answer while building this project.

My vision for this project was to showcase all of the apes that are considered “lost” according to certain criteria. This made me think about certain data points I could use to narrow down this amount.
I decided to find 5 different data points that would help me determine if an ape was lost:
- Unclaimed $Ape
- Unclaimed Dog
- Unclaimed Otherside
- Burned Apes
- No Transfers
- Homepage
- Lost Apes
- Unclaimed $APE coin
- Unclaimed Dog
- Unclaimed Otherside Land
- Burned Apes
- No Transfers
- Ape Details
I decided to use 3 criteria to determine if an ape is lost:
- Ape did not claim $APE coin
- Ape did not claim Otherside land
- Ethereum Address containing the Ape has had no activity since the Otherside mint
Based on this criteria, 68 apes are lost forever. You can view all of them here
