Otherside offers shared spaces such as Nexus and Bored Ape Swamp, where visitors socialize and choose world-specific experiences. The current portal also presents Spark Reborn. The official FAQ describes Nexus and Swamp as evolving social spaces, so this guide does not invent a universal combat objective.
Use TAB for the World Travel menu; a portal behind the Nexus spawn also leads to Swamp. Creator experiences range from social to action content, and F1 exposes controls within a world. This guide scopes entry to Chrome pixel streaming, whose requirements are documented, separately from the native client.
Playing, creating and owning are different roles. Otherdeed ownership is explicitly unnecessary for public participation. Using an owned avatar involves separately linking its wallet to Glyph. ODK remains a creator alpha rather than a universal player prerequisite. A general entry price is unstated, so NFT-free admission is not converted into a zero-cost guarantee.
An editorial fit for readers who want shared spaces and creator experiences rather than one fixed ruleset. Check connection, region and each world’s purpose. Admission pricing remains unresolved; no playthrough is claimed.
Some essential entry conditions remain unverified. Check the documented endpoint and conditions of each step.

EDITORIAL CONCEPT · NOT A GAME SCREEN
Concept: public admission, travel and owned avatars
1
Public admission
Region and streaming checks lead to Glyph; no Otherdeed required, price unresolved.
2
Choose a world
Current worlds lead to F1 controls and TAB World Travel.
3
Optional ownership
Link a wallet for owned avatars separately from public entry.
Read the current Nexus, Spark Reborn and Swamp descriptions and choose a world.
The documented route uses Glyph login and in-world F1 controls.
Explore Nexus and use TAB World Travel or the rear portal for another world.
Follow that experience’s own objectives and updates.
Decisions you make
Keep native and streaming requirements separate; the streaming FAQ specifies Mac/Windows, Google Chrome and25Mbps, not every Chromium browser.
Social hubs and creator games differ; read a destination before traveling with TAB.
Otherdeed is unnecessary for participation. Linking an owned avatar is separate from Glyph admission.
Required entry cost and optional spending
Otherside / public Chrome streaming
Otherdeed is unnecessary, but a general admission price is unstated. Keep ownership, transfers and promotional products separate.

Required to start
No Otherdeed purchase required. Glyph is the login route; the FAQ does not state a general admission price. · Otherside official FAQ · 2026-09-30
Optional purchases
Owned-avatar use requires linking the relevant wallet, an optional branch rather than a standard purchase. · Otherside official FAQ · 2026-09-30
Assets and trading
Transactions use ApeCoin on ApeChain. Funding and transfers are separate actions, not confirmed admission spending. · Otherside official FAQ · 2026-09-30
Ongoing costs
Check individual in-world prices and gas. The separate Boximus promotion does not establish universal sponsored gas. · Otherside official FAQ · 2026-09-30
Glyph automatically generates a self-custodial wallet. Supported X/Gmail login routes mean a pre-existing MetaMask route is not the only option. Owned-avatar links, ApeCoin on ApeChain and Otherdeed purchases are separate branches, not mandatory general-admission purchases. An embedded wallet exists, so the game is not described as entirely walletless.
The FAQ dates the public Swamp alpha toJuly2025 and Nexus opening toNovember2025. Current world entries and documented travel to creator experiences are confirmed. Technical capacity is not population evidence; creator-led expansion remains a long-term hypothesis.
