Let me just say, people who were not expecting this are idiots. So, as the Bored Apes popped bottles on private yachts—probably paid for by carpet-yanking a fresh project—the Pudgy Penguins won us over. And they did it one meme at a time! This isn’t simply a market cap numbers...
BOB’s (Build on Bitcoin) recent launchpad for Hybrid ZK rollups, almost entirely powered by OP Kailua has been making waves.
