Bitwise Co-founder & CEO @HHorsley and @KevinWSHPod describe the vibrant, welcoming @pudgypenguins community, led by a team with great ideas and strong execution. If you're not part of this community, join: 🐧🧡
Sometimes I think people underestimate what Fugz has quietly built over the last year.
1.6B+ GIPHY views.
200M+ social views.
110k Instagram followers.
2x MetaMask campaign activations.
Physical products in development.
Brand new animations every week from world-class talent.
A growing collector ecosystem.
Just to name a few...
But perhaps most importantly,
a community that genuinely cares.
In a market where many projects are fighting for attention, Fugz is building something people actually connect with.
The metrics will fluctuate.
The culture won't 🏕️
May was a month of continued expansion for Pudgy Penguins, with momentum across licensing, IRL events, community-led businesses, retail partnerships, and ecosystem milestones.

Drove a few hours down to Miami today to the Pudgy HQ for a mastermind @LucaNetz put together… worth every minute
Didn’t know who was gonna be there but a really great crew showed up
I probably forgot a few or don’t have your X but @illaDaProducer@LucaNetz@Maaaaahhhaaaaa@HenryTheGrape@kaneco@doodlifts@atarigod@ajt@Gabrielesm1@ernestleedotcom@6529Guardian@collectionist@Digitoys@tolibear_@BitGo and a few others showed up
It was also really special to have @HollanderAdam repping @opensea and @mikashi repping @MetaMask in the room as well
Luca layed out a landscape of the space, problems and solutions and the convos started to flow
I believe today we realized that even though many of our projects are different, many of our futures have different plans of execution… we are stronger if we’re aligned
I gained a new level of respect for Luca, I got to see a side I haven’t seen.
I think today was the birth of a coalition of sorts, a cohort… @illaDaProducer said it best, “probably should have happened in 2022”
Some “important” founders of bigger projects didn’t show or send someone to rep… imo bad look…
but
If we can keep these masterminds going, I believe the overall perception of NFTs will get better… the tech will also get better and be more fit to what we need and…
ultimately collectors across all collections and chains will be better off 💯
I want to also give flowers to @HollanderAdam who handled today like a gem. Quirkies stand with OpenSea every step of the way. We appreciate how involved and real you were along side of @mikashi and MM…
If we have those two in the convos going forward I truly believe we can grow to insane levels as a category… not just as projects competing for liquidity and attention… but improve the category as a whole 💯
Of course I leave the meeting and deal with some Twitter bs
but man… today was special and I was happy to represent Quirks in that room.
Plenty more to come.
Future is bright.
We all see art in different ways and from different angles. So happy to be in this moment and give people emotions. One more art for OG holder @MrEdwardNYC is here. Thank you for your trust, my friend! Means a lot.
this is not AI 😜
May 22, 2010, proved that a decentralized network could transfer real-world value. That first transaction was the necessary proof of concept for the trustless economy we operate in today.
Honoring the history of peer-to-peer consensus this #BitcoinPizzaDay.
1/12 Today was another Inner Igloo call, this is a recurring holder-only call where Luca Netz (CEO, Pudgy Penguins) briefs Lil Pudgy and Big Pudgy holders directly on business, strategy, brand, and partnerships. Not streamed publicly. ~250 holders attended today's session.
