Miss out on the Inner Igloo today? Here is a recap of the news covered in the meeting today.
-
@Scott_eth, the founder of Genie and now Uniswap's head of NFT product, was announced as part of the advisory board. Scott said Uniswap would release their NFT marketplace aggregator in the next few weeks.
-
The team is launching a meme maker this week on the website! There will be a contest using it and a giveaway of some sort.
-
The Community IRL meetups tool release was pushed back as the dev team focuses on more pressing things. With the Pudgy Penguins Discord being verified, a forum is dedicated to IRL meetups to help before the tool launch. We'll look at platforms that can help facilitate this in a more organized way.
-
The team is planning on having the pumpkin carving contest closer to Halloween. To ensure you don't miss it, sign up for the "Activities" role in the discord. A lil or two will be given away as a prize.
-
The auction of Cole's penguin is still in the pipeline. Luca said he plans on donating proceeds to charity.
-
Art Basel event to be announced.
-
The team has been thinking about the 4-6 Pudgy Penguin "hero" characters, but first, they need to figure out what the Pudgy Penguin world looks like. The team wants the community involved in the final decision because the team can't pick hero characters if they don't know what world they exist in. If you have ideas for the world, you can post your idea in the discord, as the team wants community help in brainstorming.
-
The team has decided to keep Pudgy Penguin metadata as is on IPFS. In 2023 the team will release a dossier like tool that can be used to track what is going on with your penguin (like GIF use).
-
Royalties: They have been a saving grace for the team up to this point, but other revenue streams are about to be opened up (toys, merchandise, etc.) that will significantly diversify the team's revenue stream and, at the same time, get more eyes on the brand. These other revenue streams will make it, so the team doesn't live and die by royalties and thus is well positioned with all the 0% royalty moves occurring in the NFT space.

Lorenzo had a call to action to go to X2Y2 to go and vote in the royalty governance discussion for the Pudgy Penguin collection items.
