Some future internet favorites will come from NFT toys
The web3 brands are getting better known every day
All thanks to toys, games and shorts
It's only logical that web3 will outshine web2
If Mario is one of the most recognizable characters
What prevents pudgy penguins?
Remember the days when probably 50% of kids had Poppy Playtime toys?
Why can't the same thing happen with Beanz?
If I had a baby who watched cartoons, I would subscribe to Imaginary Junior
And buy him an IO toy, too
It's all about time and mass adoption, right?

5 reasons why Amazon is interested in Web3 gaming
Gaming meta doesn't stop
It only gains momentum
And giant web2 companies are starting to come in, but why?
1β£ Huge influx of investment in web3 gaming
β’ Age of Dino - $55M
β’ Proof of Play - $33M
β’ Pahdo Labs - $17.5M
2β£ Teams made up of employees from gaming industry giants
- EA
- Rockstar
- Blizzard
- Metal Gear
- Silent Hill
And this is not even the whole list
3β£ Opportunity to make money by releasing new NFTs for these games
We have already seen this with examples like:
β Skyborne
β Champions Arena
β Castaways
4β£ Web3 is trying to find its place in the sun within Web3 gaming
Examples:
β’ DeGods x NiftyLeague; DeGods x InfiniGods
β’ Pudgy Penguins with their game Pudgy World
β’ Imaginary Ones and Bubble Ranger
5β£ And of course, the meta
No one would really care about Web3 gaming if it wasn't being promoted by meta
Glad to see how even a drop of NFTs becomes big π«‘
There are projects that just build different
You don't always need to make shorts
You don't necessarily need to create plush toys
Or you don't need to make your own game
β«οΈ YogaPetz - builds a whole ecosystem around mental health
β«οΈ Nouns - builds the ability to realize yourself as a big boss
β«οΈ LazyLions - AI? Say less
β«οΈ The World's Largest - just builds crazy s**t
Don't copy the meta, create it
Imaginary Ones and Π‘himpers are next up
And I can prove it!
In the web3 space, there are only 4 giants that dictate the direction for all NFT collections:
β’ Yuga Labs
β’ DeGods
β’ Pudgy Penguins
β’ Azuki
But recently, I looked at IO and Chimpers, and they have every chance to enter this list
β Chimpers:
β«οΈ They have a huge audience on Instagram and TikTok
β«οΈ One of their shorts has 50M views
β«οΈ They offer trading cards, merch packs, chimp chains, kermitification (πΈ), and more
β«οΈ Web3 gaming? Yes
β Imaginary Ones:
β«οΈ Kuek Yu-Chuang is in their team (he worked at Netflix)
β«οΈ They are launching their game on the App Store and Play Store this month
β«οΈ They have $IO tokens planned for the future
β«οΈ They show signs of moving into many areas of life, from movies to music
β«οΈ "We are the next Disney bro!" - they create cartoons for kids (BINGO song is an absolute banger)
Will IO and Chimpers conquer the web3 space?
Web3 in court
I started my journey in NFTs when making $100 a week was insane
Now governments and web2 companies want to sue for millions of dollars
3 years ago, I couldn't even imagine that it can be possible:
β«οΈ Legal battle over Milady
β«οΈ Class action lawsuit against BAYC
β«οΈ US v. Bankman-Fried
Prediction:
Lawsuits against web3 gaming companies for IP and technology theft
NFTs are about entertainment
But definitely not about: "If you buy our NFT, you'll get a 10% discount on our product in 2032"
Nobody gives a f**k about that
NFTs are product attached to a brand that expands your experience within that community
That's why:
β«οΈ Pudgy Penguins are moving into 2,000 Walmart stores across the U.S.
β«οΈ Azuki is creating a studio-quality "Anime"
β«οΈ DeGods integrate with web3 gaming
β«οΈ Yuga Labs is becoming more than a gaming company, they're trying to conquer the market from web3 gaming to fashion
Now NFTs with DAO access rights aren't that great, huh?
NFT projects aim to collaborate with Web2 companies
But what about NFT π€ NFT?
In most cases, the collaboration of Web3 projects is limited to issuing WL to holders
But this is not absolute
Example:
β«οΈ Pudgy Penguin's holders could mint Pirate Nation for free
β«οΈ DeGods integrate into Web3 gaming by partnering with gaming projects
β«οΈ Wreck League x Yuga β raising over $2 million
This is not a competition, it is a collaboration

Projects that understand culture will win
Understanding current trends and finding ways for growth are crucial
That's why:
- Pudgy Penguins created Pudgy World
- Azuki is creating a studio-quality "Anime"
- Yuga Labs is involved in various industries, from fashion to web3 gaming
- Lazy Lions develop their own AI tool
Adapt or die
