2026 hasn’t exactly been kind to crypto. Bitcoin is under $80K, NFTs are down bad, and AI is forcing everyone to rethink the future. But amid the chaos, a group of handmade, yellow headed characters called the Del Mundos have cut through the gloom, spread “people powered positivity,” and reminded the timeline why it fell in love with NFTs in the first place: the art. Less than two weeks after the Del Mundos’ free mint, the project took to the timeline to give the community a

When a quarterback wins the Super Bowl, they go to Disney World. And when a degen wins it all in Spoiled Bananas Society’s onchain fantasy football, they join the best club on the internet. Next week, the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will battle it out in Super Bowl LX. But before a champion is crowned, one degen named Willis has already etched his name into blockchain history, winning Spoiled Banana Society’s third annual Fantasy Banana Best Ball tournament

From AI slop on X to an AI agents only platforms called Moltbook, the internet is becoming more and more for bots with each passing day, which is exactly what makes this new, people first, social media platform feel so unique. Earlier this month, Yuga Labs head engineer and GobsOnApe founder James Hall launched The Commons, a throwback social media platform built for the days before AI was everywhere. “Welcome to The Commons,” he wrote. “A return to old school social media, w

While the market may be in hell, the Mutant Cartel continues to howl, releasing two ambitious roadmaps aimed at making 2026 an insane year for the pack. On Friday, Novel Labs took to the timeline with an X article titled “Mutant Cartel World Roadmaps,” laying out separate five and six point roadmaps for both the community and the company.   “Two Roadmaps. One vision,” the project wrote. “One co-created with the community and Novel Productions through Serum DAO. One delivered

The crypto markets may be down, but the Del Mundos are properly hedged, thanks to some genuine silver traits in their collection.

The Del Mundos’ attention to detail is unmatched! On Wednesday, one of the project’s co-founders, Benny, gave holders a closer look at what’s inside the project’s main character Ray Del Mundo's travel bag, revealing that Ray doesn’t pack light and is prepared for just about anything.   From the exterior of the rucksack, complete with travel tags, to the front pouch’s mini GPS, and the main compartment’s hiking poles, climbing ropes, a tent, a map, and even Ray’s wallet, cards

From the huddle to the pitch, the Pudgy Penguins are shouting “gooooal” as they waddle their way into a new collaboration with Manchester City and it’s a total kick! On Wednesday, the Pudgy Penguins crossed the pond and took the field in the Premier League, teaming up with the reigning English football powerhouse to drop one of the cutest collectible sets ever.   “The Pudgy Penguins   @ManCity premium collectible and merch set is now live,” the Pudgy Penguins tweeted. “Get y

Apes and Mutants have always looked fly on the Otherside. But thanks to one Bored Ape Yacht Club member, they can now look like they’re about to take flight. Late last week, BAYC member ENSArt dropped his Mutant Wingpack digital assets on OpenPage, inviting Apes and Mutants across the metaverse to get their wings go for a spin around the swamp! While these wings won’t literally let wearers fly like birds, they do look fly  and make for a bold statement piece while gliding acr

It’s a Tokenomics Tuesday in the Web3 world after Moonbirds dropped full details surrounding its upcoming memecoin, $BIRB, ahead of tomorrow’s token generation event,  leaving many wondering whether this Birb will fly or fall out of the nest.

Pre-launch debate like this is nothing new in Web3. Every major NFT token drop, from $Ape to $Pengu, has come with weeks of hot takes, price predictions, an

For a technology obsessed with the future, NFTs have been surprisingly stuck in a loop. Since 2021, the space has been dominated by generative art. Creators build sets of characteristics, and computers mix and match them to produce thousands of cartoon animals. Some wear hats, others have laser eyes, but nearly all of them are made the same way. For a space as novel and innovative as blockchain, very little has changed since NFTs’ heyday. That is, until one artist chose the h

Pudgy Penguins are embracing the penguin like no one else, going it alone while everyone else sends a Nietzschean penguin to the moon. Following a viral White House tweet depicting President Donald Trump walking hand in flipper with a fat, flightless bird, X has been overrun by penguins.

The Birb was the word across the NFT space on Friday after Moonbirds announced that its highly anticipated memecoin, $Birb, is taking flight next week. “It's time,” the project tweeted along with a sizzle reel featuring its new token .” $birb coming on   @solana 1.28.26”     Today’s announcement came just after Moonbirds wrapped up its 24 hour Birbathon livestream, which featured the project’s owner Spencer, intern Pax, and guests like Gary Vee and Luca Netz.   During the st

Is President Donald Trump thinking about joining the huddle? Amid continued talk of the United States taking over Greenland, the White House shared a photo of the President himself walking hand in flipper with a fat, flightless bird. “Embrace the penguin,” the White House wrote.     While mainstream media and political Twitter might have you believe this was just another Greenland meme, Pudgy Penguins holders and NFT collectors knew better. Following the White House’s post, P
