Announced on February 23, the collaboration between Pudgy Penguins and Unstoppable Domains introduces the ‘.pudgy’ domain extension. This collaboration allows users of Unstoppable Domains to acquire top-level domain names ending in ‘.pudgy,’ creating a direct link with their Pudgy Penguin NFTs.
The integration brings forth a range of possibilities for domain holders. Users can now send and receive web3 messages, conduct cryptocurrency payments between domain addresses, and even collect exclusive utility badges through their new ‘.pudgy’ domains.
Sandy Carter, COO at Unstoppable Domains, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming Pudgy Penguins into the Unstoppable Domains family, emphasizing that this collaboration goes beyond just adding a new domain extension. It signifies embracing a community that embodies the spirit of Web3 and the future of digital identity.
As part of this collaboration, Unstoppable Domains has introduced the Pudgy Ambassador Program and the Pudgy Storytelling Campaign. The Ambassador Program aims to select ambassadors from Pudgy’s prominent community members to promote the use of ‘.pudgy’ domain names, rewarding them with special Pudgy Ambassador badges. Concurrently, the Storytelling Campaign encourages users to create and share Pudgy-related content on social media. Unstoppable Domains will feature selected community storytellers on its website, with winners receiving multiple ‘.pudgy’ domains for free.
Unstoppable Domains is renowned for providing easily readable domain names linked to wallet addresses, enabling users to consolidate their digital identity across the Web3 ecosystem. With the addition of ‘.pudgy’ domains, Unstoppable Domains expands its portfolio to include the tenth top-level domain.
Pudgy Penguins has been experiencing significant success in recent weeks. The NFT collection briefly surpassed the floor price of the well-known Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), according to NftPriceFloor. As of now, the floor price for Pudgy Penguins stands at 19 ETH, reflecting a 25% increase since the beginning of February. In USD, the collection is trading at $56,540 after a remarkable 66% rally. With a market cap of $504 million, Pudgy Penguins currently holds the third position, following CryptoPunks with $1.6 billion and BAYC with $651.7 million.
In a strategic move to expand its presence, Pudgy Penguins recently announced the introduction of 30 new toy designs, along with an expansion of its collectible toy line across 1,100 new Walmart locations. These toys will feature QR codes, allowing buyers to unlock digital traits and collectibles within Pudgy World, the project’s ZkSync Era-based open-world game. Moreover, Pudgy holders whose NFTs are depicted as toys sold in-store will earn royalties from sales through the OverpassIP platform, adding real-world utility and value for Pudgy holders.
This collaboration with Unstoppable Domains marks another milestone for Pudgy Penguins, contributing to its robust growth and innovative approach in the NFT space. The introduction of ‘.pudgy’ domains creates a unique avenue for NFT enthusiasts to further engage with their Pudgy Penguin assets in the evolving Web3 landscape
