WTF is a Skill-Based NFT Mint?
If it involves Yuga Labs and BAYC, it likely involves a monkey butthole, Sewer Passes, and a Dookey Dash.

So, back to the question: WTF is a Skill-Based NFT Mint?
There are a few steps to the mint that all started in December with The Trial of Jimmy the Monkey.
On January 17th, BAYC and MAYC holders will be eligible for a free mint of Sewer Passes.
The Sewer Pass is the key to unlocking Dookey Dash, the skill-based game mentioned.
Holders of Sewer Passes can play Dookey Dash an unlimited amount of times, with the goal being to get a score higher than 0 to validate their Sewer Passes and "transform them into a mysterious power source."
Dookey Dash gameplay ends on Feburary 15th — and all shall be revealed.
"Sewer Pass holders will compete for the highest score and earn their new power source," BAYC. The highest single-run score on your specific Sewer Pass and accompanying wallet that achieved the run will determine what it reveals."
Gary will be watching you in the sewer. Sewer Pass holders will compete for the highest score and earn their new power source. The highest single-run score on your specific Sewer Pass and accompanying wallet that achieved the run will determine what it reveals.

Is this a new mint meta? Yeah, probably!
Either way, make sure to get your monkey butthole ready for what is sure to be a big event in the NFT space.
Here is a quick refresher on other types of mints:
Standard Mint: A minting process where the mint address and other details are made available to the public, allowing for examination of the smart contract before minting.
Allowlist/Whitelist Mint: A process where a selected group of VIPs or OGs have early access to an NFT collection at a lower price before it goes public.
Raffle Whitelist Mint: Similar to a regular whitelist mint, but with a raffle conducted to choose a certain number of individuals who will have early access to the minting process.
Public Mint: A process where the general public has the opportunity to mint the NFT without needing to be on a whitelist.
Stealth Mint: A minting process that restricts bots from accessing the smart contract and minting before the release date to promote fairness.
Sudden Mint: A process where an NFT collection suddenly drops on the market without any prior notice.
Lazy Mint: An NFT is accessible off-chain and only becomes minted after a sale occurs, with the artist paying the fees.
Free Mint: The ability to mint NFTs without any cost, with the buyer covering the minting fees instead of the creator.
