My timeline has been non-stop reveals of @pudgypenguins mystery boxes. Those that have been identified so far, consist of: > Pax & Polly gym bag > Pudgy x Nouns figurine > Pudgy Goldfeathers figurine > Paxton Pengu figurine > Pudgy x Lotte World figurine > Giant plush > Pudgy x Manchester City merch > Pudgy PEZ + Vibes Legend of Lils card The prizes are well above the $100 retail price. Anymore that I've missed out? I’m excited to see more goodies revealed!

Just applied to join @0xAlphaGEMs Round 1 is open for 7 days and only 10 people are getting in, so the odds feel pretty slim I’ve been seeing a lot of positive feedback about the community for a while now, people talking about the quality of the group, the alpha, and just the overall vibe in the cave. Figured it was worth putting an application in and seeing what happens vault.alphagems.io/join/PJnx… xitter.cf/0xalphagems/status/211…

A lot of the criticism around ApeFest seems to come from people who haven’t actually been to any IRL NFT events themselves The Waffle House meetup isn’t even an official @BoredApeYC sponsored event, it’s fully community organized Takes real effort from community members to put these things together, and it’s nice to see people showing up and having fun Supporting other communities when they do something IRL feels better than tearing it down To those keyboard warriors, I’m curious, what has your community done for IRL experiences?

The huddle just keeps growing and the vibes are still solid New people joining @pudgypenguins and @LilPudgys, sales moving, and holders still showing up even when the market’s choppy That’s the stuff that actually matters 🐧

Most consumer L2s this cycle were structurally unprofitable from day one @LucaNetz's own numbers ($10-15M/year burn) plus 2.5 years of @AbstractChain made heavy losses almost inevitable unless the chain scaled way faster than the market allowed They had real traction and chose not to launch a token because they wanted to “do it the right way.” After 10/10 that window closed, and the later institutional pivot carried its own massive costs and timelines. Sometimes protecting the “right way” just means you burn longer before reality shows up. The teams that survive are usually the ones who either raised enough to outlast the burn or knew when to stop.

250+ solana:2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv fam currently joining the Inner Igloo with @LucaNetz Don't miss out if you're a @pudgypenguins and @LilPudgys holder

A lot has happened since the last Inner Igloo - plenty of events and updates along the way There are quite a few things for @LucaNetz to address, especially around @AbstractChain, and hopefully some clarity that can help improve the overall sentiment on @pudgypenguins Next Inner Igloo is today at 11 AM EST/ 8 AM PST Looking forward to the discussion 🐧

Come on CT, we can do better. Someone posts about @standard_rsv burning inactive charters and immediately people are cursing the founder, calling it a rug, and dragging Abstract into it. The inactivity rule was in the whitepaper. @0xbeans posted multiple reminders to check in. After 30 days of no activity, about 100 charters got burned. He stands by the mechanism (stops inactive holders from diluting emissions forever), admits the warnings could’ve been more visible, and the team is personally covering the losses with their own fees. One-time goodwill. Protocol stays as written. There’s a lesson here about amplifying FUD before actually reading the docs or the update.

If you’ve been grinding on Abstract and made it to Gold or higher, might be worth checking your Abstract Chickens mint eligibility Mint starts Monday at noon Pacific in phases 3,333 eggs at 0.01E each, first ones out get 0.005E back so it nets around half if you exit right away Eggs only hatch once you bridge to ETH, and Abstract’s gone for good mid December I’m personally minting, @0xQuit is solid and the art’s by @Groowut DYOR of course

Argonauts is a pure art project. No roadmap, no utility, no airdrop promises. People are buying the art (and the on-chain upgrades that keep happening). Pudgy Penguins and Hypurr are PFPs with heavy speculation baked in. One was farming Abstract XP for an expected airdrop that never came. The latter is widely speculated as a Season 3 stimmy vehicle that hasn’t materialized. Both have disappointed holders Art doesn’t need a stimmy to stay interesting. Speculation-driven PFPs often do.

Abstract is not dead after all (short term) I love innovative games like this and look forward to participating Only @0xQuit has the influence to convince me to bridge back to @AbstractChain Of course this is very high risk and only put in amount that you can afford to lose No crying in the casino

It’s moments like this that separate real @pudgypenguins believers from the people who were only here to farm an Abstract airdrop Months ago they were praising Luca like he was untouchable. Now that there’s no TGE on their timeline, the same accounts are calling him a scammer and trashing the team, because they went all-in with time and money and didn’t get the exit they priced in. They’re also expecting Pudgy to keep running the chain while it’s losing money. That doesn’t make sense. Better to cut losses and admit it didn’t work than keep burning funds for no reason. I burned funds on Abstract too. That’s just web3. You size a bet, test a new chain, and accept that not everything pays you back on schedule. CT doesn’t do that. It goes all-in, gets emotional, then turns on the project the second the narrative slips. You’re free to sell if you’re bearish. It’s a free market. There are buyers on the other side ready to take your Pudgy assets. These are the same people who will dump the airdrop on your head and disappear. Good cleanse. The ones who actually care about the ecosystem will still be here when the team is ready.

After saying yes to every @token2049 afterparty:

People worth dodging at @token2049: Saw a guy yesterday in a tee that literally said he has millions of followers on IG and TikTok. Checked the account. Comments were bots. If you have to print your clout on a shirt, that’s the tell Anyone who opens with follower count, TVL, or “we’re backed by X” before they can say what they actually do “Free ticket” or “VIP airdrop” links in Telegram or SMS. Real tickets don’t show up that way Side events that name-drop a fund or exchange as the host. Check that org’s own account first. Fake Luma pages were already going around “Just scan this/ connect your wallet/ install this so I can send the deck.” If nobody you trust can vouch for them, don’t sign anything and don’t hand over your phone Stay safe guys

Partying with @SwaeLee was definitely unexpected Made possible with @pudgypenguins Unreal performance What a week for token2049 solana:2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv on top 🔥
