Pudgy Penguins Partners with Tusky and Walrus

Pudgy Penguins, one of the largest and most recognized IPs in Web3, is now using Tusky to store its GIFs, stickers, videos, and other media on Walrus.

Pudgy’s GIFs and short videos, viewed billions of times across platforms like Giphy and Instagram, have become a defining part of their brand and helped them reach audiences far beyond Web3.

Now, Pudgy is taking steps to protect that growing library of digital assets and ensure it’s preserved safely for the future.

Previously, Pudgy relied on centralized storage to organize their content but faced several challenges, including unreliable long-term access, tedious sharing workflows, and the risk of losing files.

To future-proof their growing media library, Pudgy is now using Tusky, starting with 1TB of storage and planning to scale to 6TB over the next year as their content library continues to grow.

This move was announced at Token2049 Dubai, during Pudgy’s “Inside the Igloo” event, where the team showcased their latest developments.

Tusky made the transition seamless for the Pudgy team:

• For developers, our plug-and-play API integration required minimal setup, allowing them to get started quickly without any heavy lifting.
• For non-technical users, our intuitive app made it simple to upload, organize, and share files with a familiar, Web2-like experience.

Tusky allows anyone on the Pudgy team, regardless of technical background, to easily manage their media on Walrus.

Beyond simpler storage, moving to Tusky and Walrus also unlocks the potential for more dynamic and decentralized experiences that simply aren’t possible with traditional centralized storage. Tusky will be offering token-gated access, unlocking the potential for NFTs to act as tickets to access exclusive content.

We’d love to help you join the future of decentralized storage.
