Pudgy Penguins, the Ethereum NFT profile picture (PFP) collection first launched in July 2021, has unveiled a trailer at Art Basel in Miami for its 3D browser game experience, dubbed Pudgy World, which is slated to launch in alpha sometime in 2024.

After controversy surrounding its original owner led to abuy out and change in leadership last year, Pudgy Penguins appointed an executive advisory board, raised $9 million in funding, stocked plush penguin toys in over 2,000 U.S. Walmart stores and Hot Topic locations, and has posted viral videos with millions of views across its social media channels.

Now, Pudgy Penguin fans can take their first steps onto the ice in Pudgy World’s lobby. When it fully releases, Pudgy Penguin NFT holders as well as plush toy owners will be able to adopt a virtual likeness of their collectibles as a 3D character in the world.

Pudgy World will also be free-to-play, however, so gamers can hop into Pudgy World, choose whether to buy traits to customize their own characters, and “embark on a story-driven journey,” according to a statement.

The story of Pudgy World will follow two penguins, Pudgy and Peaches, as they embark on as-yet-unrevealed adventures.

“The alpha launch of Pudgy World is a massive step forward for the Web3 and NFT space because Pudgy Penguin owners will be playing with their Pudgy Toys, without any pre-existing knowledge of the blockchain technology it is built on,” said Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz in an announcement.

Artist notes: the halving ceremony is the most unusual part of modern bitcoin production in which the owners bet on how efficiently an alpha can inseminate the market.

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
