EST. Remember, reactivating your

Joy. Anticipation. Excitement. There’s a feeling around the swamp that next week is going to be something special, as several NFT characters get ready to ape into Amazon. On Thursday, Yuga Labs took to the timeline to announce that the first-ever “Community Feels” Otherside emotes will be going up for sale on Amazon next Thursday. The drop will feature the Otherside mascot Blue the Koda, alongside characters from Chimpers, Geez, and the HV-MTLs. "Community Feels go live on Am

Quackers, yappers, and the projects that rely on them for marketing are now left asking what’s next after X declared war on AI slop and low value posts. Thursday will go down as the day InfoFi died, after X’s Head of Product, Nikita Bier, publicly took aim at engagement farming, automated replies, and the flood of low effort content that has increasingly clogged feeds and ruined Crypto Twitter.   “We are revising our developer API policies: We will no longer allow apps that r

From the hockey rink to the football pitch, the Pudgy Penguins are trading in their skates for cleats and heading across the pond this month in a new partnership with Manchester City!

Let not your heart, or your HV-MTL, be troubled! On Wednesday, HV-MTL owners Adam Weitsman and Gabe announced that they will be reopening the activation window for holders to reactivate their Bots this Thursday at 10:00 A.M. EST.   “Tomorrow January 15 2026 we’re reopening the activation window at 10:00 AM EST (New York / Brooklyn / USA time) not 10 AM in China, not 10 AM in Europe,” Gabe tweeted. “The window will be open for 24 hours (1,440 minutes).”     Remember, reactivat

When most people see NFTs, they think of cartoons on a screen. But for many collectors, they represent community, belonging, and in some cases a legacy that can live onchain forever. On Wednesday, HV-MTL owner and notable NFT collector Adam Weitsman reminded the community that behind every PFP is a real person with a real life, and a family that loves them and that showing up for one another still matters. Last year, Quirkies community member “ETH Whale Dave” sadly passed awa

Forget a taste test, HV-MTL owner and notable NFT collector Adam Weitsman is chugging and collecting Rekt Guy after adding the project’s most toxic dude to his portfolio. Weitsman’s week of NFT collecting continued late last night after he announced that he scooped up a one of one Rekt Guy in an over the counter deal with the brand’s cofounder OSF. “Big appreciation to @osf_rekt for the warm welcome to the @rektguy community tonight,” Weitsman wrote. “Really love all you ar

Memes, meaning, and a sustainable revenue model that pushes character IP out of the nest were all explained in a new paper from Moonbirds titled “The Birbillions Thesis.” Birb becoming the PopMart of Web3 isn’t just a tagline for OrangeCap Games Founder and Moonbirds owner Spencer; it’s the blueprint for getting what he’s building accepted culturally as a meme and taken seriously as a business. And if it all works, he believes birbillions will flock.   Memes move people. Comp

A notable NFT collector who’s been sweeping floors and buying grails all week is now doing it dapper after purchasing two suited up Bored Apes this morning. Looking good, feeling good was the motto on Tuesday as markets ripped, and Bored Ape Yacht Club member Nxn kept the vibes sharp by aping into not one, but two suited up Bored Apes for 10 ETH each, continuing his three day streak of good looking NFT buys.     Nxn’s new Apesm #9924 and #8158, are both sporting black suits,
