Just tuned into today's Inner Igloo with Luca. The community has been rallying hard, taking over timelines with PFP changes by influencers and companies. Luca called it "giant billboards" for Pudgy Penguins, driving insane engagement. If you missed out here are the call notes.
Luca shouted out the team's hustle and the huddle's resilience: "It's always darkest before the dawn. Got pretty dark there, but the sun is rising, and I think it's going to be a beautiful next six to twelve months." He teased epic things in the pipeline, including something "insanely special" in the next few days.
On Abstract Chain: Milestones are hitting, with an "amazing month" ahead in August. Developments will benefit both Pudgy NFT holders and PENGU holders. Luca's confident: "The next six to twelve months are going to be absolutely insane, just in crypto, but also the Pudgy Penguin ecosystem."
PENGU updates: Secured ~10 new exchange listings in 14 days, focusing on regional access. Plans to expand $PENGU to neobanks and country-specific exchanges like Poland and Australia. Luca said, "I don't think there's 10 coins you'll see because we also just unlocked a crazy thing behind the scenes."
Asia spotlight: Luca's heading on a 6-week tour (Korea, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Tokyo) for events like Korean Blockchain Week and Token 2049.
Recent Asia wins: Massive LED tower display and gatherings during Malaysian Blockchain Week. Community member @magicross7 shared: "We just gathered like 50 over penguins... look up and boom, big penguin right in the city skyline."

And just when you thought the warm-up couldn’t get any louder… BOOM. LED tower. Pudgy style. Welcome to Malaysia, Web3 fam 🇲🇾💥🐧
Claw machines: Major partnership for ~1,000 physical units across US locations to win Pudgy toys. Individuals can inquire to buy one, and is perfect for proliferating the penguin IRL.
Q&A highlights: On PENGU on Interactive Brokers? Not yet, but Luca's hunting platforms like TD, PayPal, Wise. "I'm going there... that's the next chapter here."
On regulatory classification, which will likely regulate Pudgy Penguins? Likely CFTC side as digital collectibles. Luca: "Memes and NFTs are collectibles, digital collectibles, right? And so that would not be SEC regulated per se." Luca did say @0xLoMel would likely be the best one to ask.
Action items: 1) Pre-install/share Pudgy Party link 1a.) like/RT/comment for engagement 3) change PFPs to penguins (even LinkedIn) 4) Sticker/QR code IRL (safely) 5) Attend Comic-Con booth/side event or Asia activations.
