In Episode 20 of the RWA Igloominati podcast, we’re joined by Pudgy Pops, Director of Marketing at DYLI — a fast-growing platform reshaping how we buy, trade, and experience real-world assets on-chain.

DYLI is consumer crypto done right. It combines physical products (like Pokémon cards, gold, silver, sneakers) with on-chain ownership, making RWAs as fun and tradable as memes — but backed by real value.

• 🎯 What makes DYLI different from other tokenized RWA platforms

• 🏗 How DYLI merges on-chain culture, real-world collectibles, and physical delivery

• 💡 Why consumer crypto isn’t about DeFi yields — it’s about experience

• 🔒 Building trust through transparency and gamified redemption

• 🧩 From crypto vending machines to tokenized gold: What’s next?

• 📦 The future of “scan to own” drops and physical proof

• 🧠 Pudgy Pops’ Web3 origin story and how DYLI plans to scale culture

Whether you're a Web3 builder, RWA nerd, or NFT collector, this episode delivers real insight into how crypto meets commerce.

🐧 What does it really take to survive multiple crypto cycles — and build a global brand in the process?

In this special episode of the RWA Igloominati Interview Series, we sit down with PP, Community Lead at Pudgy Penguins, to explore the wild journey from ICOs to Walmart toys, meme coins to meaningful impact. We cover how Pudgy built one of the strongest communities in crypto, launched real-world toys, and leveraged NFT IP into cultural relevance.

• How PP got into crypto during the 2017 ICO boom (and survived it)

• Why Pudgy Penguins became the most resilient NFT brand — and how Rogs changed everything

• The evolution of community-led building vs. team-led execution

• The behind-the-scenes story of Pudgy World, Pingu Token, and what’s next for toys as RWAs

• How to turn real-life skills into crypto success (PP’s path from videographer to Community Lead)

• Insights on community tone, vibes, and meme strategy

• Advice for young degens and why age & experience are underrated in Web3

• Why muting, not arguing, is the true secret to mental survival

Whether you’re building, collecting, or navigating your second (or fifth) cycle, this one’s for you.
