Memes are undergoing a renaissance.

In the early doge era:
A player earning $2,000 a month bought $50 worth of doge, then kept telling others how interesting this doge was, isn't this dog head pretty silly?
By reaching consensus, $50 turned into $2,000.
NFT era:
From meme as a storytelling form to a visual culture expression.
PVP era:
From holding and telling others it's interesting, to everyone being family, to brothers joining in, I pour for the family.
The era of the two saints:
Exchanges enter the scene, pouring for the community they belong to.
Besides the consensus with exit paths, the speed of pouring for the family is getting faster, and how to elevate meme from niche to mainstream consensus, expanding the greatest common divisor to solidify the culture, becoming a group without labels.
It seems only the yacht club during the Renaissance era and Fat Penguin have achieved this, with a certain foundation for revival.
Perhaps yesterday’s $MAME was a beginning.
Although Pudgy Penguins @pudgypenguins is a consumer-grade crypto IP project that started as an NFT, not just a meme token.
This article generally refers to the cultural IP brought by crypto-native meme culture.
Fat Penguin, through its NFT series, brought cultural dissemination, later expanding to tokens, games, offline merchandise, and community experiences.
This was only comparable in data to Azuki in the last round; I personally don’t like Azuki very much.
Pudgy’s strategy is a clearer “NFT to consumer IP” model: toys, merchandise, games, Pudgy World, Pudgy Party, and offline branding.
Azuki is more like a native anime NFT culture + high-end collector identity, emphasizing its niche.
Therefore, in the current situation where memes lack narrative, the meme renaissance is starting, and Fat Penguin is also reviving.
