FROM EMBRACING THE PENGUIN TO BECOMING ONE: OpenSea’s Adam Hollander Joins The Huddle After Buying His First Pudgy Penguins NFT!

From embracing the penguin to becoming one. OpenSea’s Chief Marketing Officer Adam Hollander has officially joined the huddle after spending the day with Luca Netz and stepping into the Pax Pengu suit earlier this week!

 

On Friday, Hollander took to the timeline to announce that he was officially part of the huddle after picking up his first Pudgy Penguin.

“Had the pleasure of spending several hours with @LucaNetz today at the pudgy hq, along with two dozen other legends from our space,” Hollander tweeted. “genuinely productive discussion. and was obvious to me how much Luca cares about the future of our space. felt like the right time to finally join the huddle. plus double merch on the floor? i mean come on”

 

 

Hollander’s new Penguin is Pudgy Penguin #4323, an objectively handsome bird rocking a “Vote 4 Pudgy” shirt and an igloo hat.

 

After the news broke, Pudgy Penguins’ PP McGhee welcomed Hollander to the huddle, tweeting, “Bro really became the pengu,” alongside a recent photo of Hollander suiting up as Pengu.

 

As the Gazette previously reported, Hollander literally became the penguin during Pudgy Penguins and OpenSea’s Deep Dive party earlier this week at Consensus 2026.

“I had never been a mascot before,” Hollander told the Gazette, “It’s actually pretty hot in there - but worth it. Would recommend. It was an amazing event. kudos to Adam Ilenich and PP for crushing it as always.”

 

The Gazette will continue to follow Hollander, OpenSea, and all things Pudgy Penguins and will let you know who joins the community next. Stay tuned for updates!
