If you've been around in the space for even a week, you probably know what @pudgypenguins is and what they do. And chances are you've seen their GIFs in group chats with friends, and their plushies at your local Target, even before you got to know about them. As a web3 marketer, and more importantly a degen, pudgy penguins have always held a special place in my heart because of the IP they've managed to build, spanning across the world. I wasn't around during the BAYC and punks era of web3. I entered the space in 2023, when rocking a pudgy penguins pfp gave you a feeling of pride. For me, more so than bitcoin or eth, pudgys are synonymous with web3 because: - they are the best example of community building and commitment in web3, showing what this space offers if your execution is right - they make me hopeful that whatever happens to the world, the human species will be able to survive it if we stand together A lot of that traces back to @LucaNetz. He took over the collection in 2022 for 750 ETH, at a point where the community had been let down and trust was gone. And then he spent the next few years building an IP that now sits on retail shelves next to brands that have been around for decades, and he did it while keeping the community at the centre of every decision. I've studied a lot of brands since I joined @surgence_io, but I haven't come across a better case study in this industry. The more I delved into the lore behind these pudgys, the more I wanted to be a part of this community of dreamers and believers. Which is why I'm happy to announce today that I recently saved up enough to buy my very own lil pudgy. Being a nerd who's a sucker for tech products, I can tell you that the joy I felt buying my pudgy doesn't come close to any of my other purchases. I am my pudgy, and my pudgy is me. I'd love to connect with fellow pengus who are part of the huddle, and explore ways I can contribute to the ecosystem. So if you love the huddle as much as I do, let's hang in the comments.

Gm. Came back home earlier today from Singapore after an insane @token2049 week. Cant wait to pump out some content around it, here’s a short recap in the meantime 👇🏻

Hello, Singapore 👋🏻

Heading to Singapore rn with 30+ Kgs of @surgence_io merch. Who wants one?

HOLY F*CK. The dinner we're hosting at @token2049 in collaboration with @GenLayer is trending on X?!! New ATHs every day for @surgence_io fr. Comment below if you want to be a part of this exclusive entree with investors and high intent operators 👇🏻

Here's what the @surgence_io team has been up to for the last week prepping for @token2049: - Approving and waitlisting guests for Convergence - Sorting out tshirts and merch orders for event attendees - Personally DMing guests to make sure they're the right fit for our events With the six of us on ground, we're looking to cover every side event, panel and 1 on 1 meetings that we can take to help you scale your brand and dominate the market.

Elated to share the official Convergence merch @surgence_io is going to be bringing for @token2049! Went through a lot of back and forth with the legends from @1NORTHDOTXYZ for it, but on the 5th iteration, I feel like we got it right. If you want one, comment below 👇🏻

This just in: Apple Pay is live for all Axis Bank cards in India! If you want to experience the seamlessness of Apay, head to the wallet app and add your card with just a tap. Can’t wait to test this out at POS systems and check how well it’s working locally. gApple.

okay I wasn’t supposed to share this here but f*ck it. @surgence_io is bringing cool merch to Singapore for Convergence 2026! Want a sneak peak? Turn notifs on 🫡

"Be greedy when everyone else is fearful".

Extremely elated to share the list of incredible teams who're helping us bring Convergence by @surgence_io to life. With the event just less than two weeks away, the entire team is pulling out all the stops to make sure this event turns out to be the best one you come to at Token. Man I can't wait to be on ground in Singapore 😩

Ain't no way @deadstock_app shipped my 30th Anniversary Celebration packs within 35 minutes of me liking @clementetv_ 's post. I wasn't into pack ripping before I started working with them thanks to @surgence_io, but I gotta say, I get it now. And after trying multiple platforms, trust me when I say, Deadstock's Japanese cards are a step above everything else I've seen. That being said, who wants to see some pack ripping content next? 👀

.@ruthybuilds has said that he will adopt me if we cross 1000 registrations for the @surgence_io mixer event. chat, we gotta cook now 🫡

Be mindful. Never make the mistake of taking things for granted. Whatever you do, always give 100% of your focus to it so you know what you're doing. We're told to romanticize multi-tasking. F*ck that sh*t. Just be good at doing things fast, by being mindful.

I can bet my life on the fact that whoever asked this question ended up texting their friends "bro she's into into me" when he got this response. Men will be men.
