We’re refurbishing our website

Dear Pudgy Community,

As we meow-ved into a period of reflection a few weeks ago, we’ve been busy as cats in a yarn factory, re-evaluating our project’s status and designing a new path forward. Some of our plans didn’t land on all four feet, so we’ve been scratching our heads to come up with fresh ideas that will have us purring with success. Rest assured, we’re committed to this project like a cat to a sunbeam – we’re not the type to vanish into thin air, leaving you wondering if we’ve used up all nine lives. Our dedication to our community, supporters, and our vision of arts, creativity, and entertainment is as strong as a cat’s grip on a catnip mouse.

The Cat’s Out of the Bag: What Happened?

Let’s address the elephant (or should we say, the large cat) in the room. We’ve faced one major challenge and one significant problem:

The Challenge: A lack of funds to move forward with some of our ideas. As you know, there’s not much one can do without the necessary cat-pital. The trading volume for our token and NFT collections has been lower than a cat’s belly during a nap. Despite our best efforts to secure funding through Project Catalyst – twice! – we came up short, even though our proposals were received as warmly as a cat in a sunbeam.
The Problem: After 2.5 years of work (that’s about 22 cat years, mind you), we seem to have failed to gain the recognition we need from the Cardano Community. It appears they’re more interested in other kinds of content and activities, often dominated by certain cliques that support each other in a closed circle – a private club where we’re not part of the litter, so to speak. There’s often a lot of drama against anyone outside this circle (so much for praising “decentralization” day and night). Actions speak louder than words, and sadly, we didn’t see many actions backing up those words. Many of our attempted “partnerships” turned into one-sided collaborations, where we did our part without getting so much as a whisker in return. It’s a tough hairball to swallow, but it’s the truth, and we’re sure many other projects have found themselves in the same litter box.

Are We Throwing in the Towel? Absolutely not!

We’re not the kind of project that runs away with its tail between its legs or closes shop because we’ve lapped up all the milk (speaking of which, we’ve always reinvested all our profits into the project, without pocketing a single kibble). We’ve proven we’re not a rugpull, so what’s next on our adventure?

The Cat’s New Groove

We’re going to practice what we’ve always preached: stay curious, stay engaged, and expand our horizons. It’s time to trim some dead branches from our project tree and search for new funding avenues, especially looking into regular Web 2.0 activities. Don’t get your whiskers in a twist – we still love Cardano. It’s where Pudgy Cat was born (you can see it in the pendant of our new logo), and we adore Cardano’s technology. We’re not jumping to another blockchain; we just can’t rely solely on the Cardano Community to achieve our goals anymore. We’ve always wanted to bring more people into Cardano, but if the community won’t let us be the Pied Piper, we’ll chart our own course and see where the catnip takes us.

What’s Next?

In the coming weeks, we’re giving everything related to our project a fresh coat of paint. We’re refurbishing our image, website, Discord server, and social media platforms. We’ll start creating new content (text, audio, video, and more) to interact with a broader “niche” – people who will likely appreciate our work more as they understand there’s a whole multiverse beyond crypto.

Many exciting things will happen in the days ahead, and we’ll be thrilled to have you with us, along with many new faces who have broader interests and passions. Together, we’ll climb beyond the blockchain to bask in the sunny spots of tomorrow’s digital entertainment.

Remember: Curiosity didn’t kill the cat; it made it smarter and more successful!
