Pudgy Penguins didn’t just survive the NFT winter, they leveled up into one of Web3’s most recognizable global brands. What began as a simple NFT collection is now a full-blown ecosystem powered by community governance, viral culture, real-world products, and the PENGU token. At Ndax, we’re focused on giving Canadians regulated access to the stories and assets shaping crypto culture. That’s why our latest blog breaks down the exact features behind Pudgy Penguins’ rise: the historic community takeover, a content engine that reached billions, toy and retail integrations that brought NFTs to the mainstream, a first-of-its-kind IP licensing model, and the launch of PENGU as a utility + ownership layer for the ecosystem. If you want to understand how a Web3 project turns digital collectibles into real-world brand power, and why that matters for the future of crypto adoption, this one’s for you. Dive into the full blog to see how Pudgy Penguins built a blueprint for mainstream success.

Crypto privacy and security go beyond protecting your private keys, it’s also about protecting your identity. In our latest blog, we explore crypto dusting attacks, a subtle but growing threat designed to track wallet activity and compromise user anonymity. Unlike traditional hacks that steal funds, dusting attacks involve sending tiny amounts of crypto (known as “dust”) to wallets in an attempt to trace transactions and link addresses together. Over time, this can erode privacy and expose user identities on-chain. The article breaks down how dusting attacks work, who initiates them, and the practical steps every crypto user can take to reduce their exposure — from ignoring dust deposits to using wallets with built-in dust filtering. Read the full article to learn how to stay secure and maintain your privacy in a transparent blockchain world.
