Cap and Steve are joined by Won and Waabam to break down the broader implications of this partnership and what it signals for Web3 adoption. They also dive into the LOUD token launch, unpacking the wide range of reactions and how the experiment is reshaping conversations around attention in crypto.

Cap and Steve unpack the $20 million sale of the CryptoPunks IP from Yuga Labs to a newly formed nonprofit, debating whether the move marks a smart strategic refocus or a missed opportunity for Yuga's original Web3 ambitions. They also call out the lack of transparency in Ethos’ recent validator NFT drop, where some contributors were snubbed in favor of low-activity recipients. The second half pivots to Abstract Chain strategy, where XP farming mechanics and Big Pudgy NFT bonuses are driving a fresh round of speculation and optimization.
