The CLARITY Act just cleared a major hurdle in the Senate, bringing much-needed rules, certainty, and leadership to America’s digital asset future. 🇺🇸 And to celebrate that momentum, I want to highlight one of the most recognizable crypto brands growing from right here in Miami’s #FL27#: Pudgy Penguins. 🐧 If this gets 5,000 likes, I’ll make my @pudgypenguins avatar my profile picture.

Gm ☀️🎙️ Had an awesome chat last week with Peter Lobanov (@chefgoyardi), CCO of @pudgypenguins & Cofounder of @IglooInc on the Chinsanity Show Podcast. Excited to share his story and pudgy alpha with you all soon!

PUDGY PENGUINS' PENGU SOLANA VALIDATOR CROSSES 100,000 SOL STAKED @pudgypenguins announced over 100,000 $SOL has been staked to the Pengu SOL Validator, a milestone for one of the few NFT-brand-operated validators on Solana. Stakers earn competitive APY while contributing to the institutional adoption pathway for the Pengu ecosystem. Pudgy Penguins continues to outflank the rest of the NFT pack on infrastructure plays. The solana:2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv token, mainstream brand deals (Walmart toys, Lufthansa partnership, Hulu animated series), and now a scaled validator on Solana give the project an operational footprint that most origin NFT projects never reach.

Pudgy Penguins are returning to Las Vegas for this year’s Licensing Expo. For the third year in a row, we’re excited to represent Web3 and share the floor with some of the world’s greatest IPs from May 19 to 21.

When I took over Pudgy with the guys ~4 years ago, I never imagined we’d one day be representing the brand before Congress. Amazing to pitch and see lawmakers getting behind real-world, mass market use cases of crypto.

Today was a special day for our government relations efforts at Pudgy Penguins. When we first started making trips to the Hill, the vision was clear: lead the charge in showing lawmakers the retail and mass-market use cases of crypto through the Pudgy Penguins brand. After more than a year of personal Hill visits, we felt the time was right to take the next step. We hosted our first open-invite event for policymakers in the Rayburn House Building, the largest congressional office building, with @0xLoMel and I on a panel sharing the full Pudgy Penguins story, crypto’s vital role in it, and educating lawmakers on crypto. As always, we have even bigger things cooking behind the scenes that we can’t wait to share with you all. We firmly believe that when Pudgy Penguins wins, the entire space wins with us. The best is yet to come 🐧 Thank you to @thecolinmclaren from Solana Policy Institute for moderating this panel.

Imagine waking up every morning and checking in on your pudgy penguin. Feed it. Talk to it. Build it a lil igloo. Have weirdly deep conversations with it at 7am. AI-powered, sentient-feeling. Lives in PudgyWorld. Would you use this daily?
