The hunt is back on! Got my hands on 100 more unhatched eggs and 5 million MILK. Let's see if I can hatch one of the remaining legendaries.
Will stream this in the Cozy discord tomorrow at 4 pm PT!
Cozy Penguins by

are travelling to
@avax
for their next adventure. This cross chain journey is powered by
@chainlink
CCIP, and will be one of the first NFT collections to do so.
Let's take a look on how the portal is built under the hood 🧵
This penguin likes to suffer for fun.
70.3 Ironman complete!
- 1.2 mi swim - :37
- Eat snack
- 56 mi bike - 2:21 (24 mph)
- Eat snack
- 13.1 mi run - 1:44 (7:52/mi)
Total time 4:54. Happy with the result, but now it’s time to get back to work 🫡.

Honored to be trusted with such a historic Pudgy Penguin. Namsan the fisher will be one of the first characters millions of players will meet in one of our upcoming mobile games.
Happy birthday

! Had the privilege to meet a lot of the team and community at NYC and experience an incredible activation. Extremely excited to see the next chapter of their journey
So why build on Avax? We aim for our on-chain games to be playable at arcade pricing. Slingshot Sailors, our first fully on-chain game, would pause when gas was over 200 gwei, hitting long outages during deFi spikes.
Dedicated lines on Avax subnets will help us solve this

cozy penguins:
- penguin go to avax (come back anytime)
- penguin get space suit
- penguin save dog

dog good. penguin good. we like dog and penguin.

Constantly in awe in how much projects have built in the Avax NFT ecosystem and how much there is for the enjoyooors to do.
My goal is to not only build Cozy in Avalanche, but also to expose our community to all the fun things everyone else is working on over here.
The last few days of every year is spent on accounting and closing the books. Happy to say that for Cozy Labs:
- We have fiat to cover operations into 2025
- Budget to expand our art and community initiatives
- Several thousand avax in the msig to win with the market

- My web2 biz operated fully autonomously w/o me and hit record profits (7 digit+, gave most back to my kickass team)
- Owned engineering efforts in shipping two web3 products with 10 digit+ TVL & 9+ TVS

yesterday and couldn't have been more stoked. Their discord is wild and super welcoming too. This should be a fun time.
Cozy founders credentials:
- 30+ years combined games industry experience
- Built game services supporting 100mil+ monthly actives
- Tech lead on game modes for AAA GaaS title
- Shipped blockchain protocol securing 9 digits of value
But creds only furthers speculation. We'll let
When an NFT project promises you movies, games, product etc.. what makes the people behind those projects qualified to do these things? and how do you know they will do them so well?
What makes these project founders more qualified to be successful then all the other companies?

- Cozy is still an Eth-first collection, but you'll need at least 1 Cozy on Avax to participate in what's coming next
The next Cozy adventure will take place in the snowy lands of Avalanche! We believe the tech and rapidly growing community make Avalanche the best chain to power our next experience.
Ava Labs shares our excitement and is supporting us through a grant to kick off this journey.
Excited to dive into Avax NFT land and wanted to do so in a big (or smol?) way. Happy to rock'n roll with an OG Smol Joe and be part of this growing community.
Been hanging out here for a few days, the folks here def like to have fun.
My first Art Basel was a success! Got to meet founders, teams, and community members that reaffirmed my conviction towards their work and the NFT space as a whole.

Finalizing testing the portal UI, pushing a few more pixels on the collection, and making sure nothing breaks before we start turbo bull posting
My 2023 flexes (mostly team wins):
- 85k players reached with 2 mobile games
- Launched the Woofys after a year in the works, doubled active Cozy community
- Launched a defi protocol that holds $500m+
- Mid 7 digit revenue (7 digit profits) on the web2 biz
- Biked 10,000 miles
We started working on Waddle Wars, our castle defender game, in Feb 2023. After 7 months and a rebuild of 80% of the core game loop we're finally at the finish line.
Lookout for the game launch announce in the next few days!
Just deployed our Cozy Penguin eth <> avax bridge to mainnet, powered by Chainlink CCIP. Now we wait for the portal opens and then the party begins...
Will do a technical walk through in a few days
Everything on Cozy (art, music, engineering+) is built in house. This means no friction around product alignment, revisions, budget etc...
This allowed us to generate and review over 100,000 Woofys (and counting) to create the best collection possible.

We're ready for the adventure ahead 🐧🤝🐶
A lot of things have been going right with the Woofys launch so far. Both by design and by luck:
- We rewarded our active Cozy Penguin holders by offering a significant allocation of Woofys to be rescued for free, so long they bridged to Avalanche and joined the ecosystem.
- We
Extremely proud of the team for hosting one of the biggest web3 gaming tourneys to date. 20+ teams and communities, 1000 viewers, $12,500+ in prizes to competitors and viewers.
This is the first big building block of many for our gaming program. Look out for what comes next.
While everyone is making generational wealth, I learned how to build a dialogue system in 3 completely different ways and finally landed on one I'm happy with.
Everyone is winning ✌️
Huge shoutout to the
@HyperspaceAvax
team for being incredible launch partners for the Woofys. Bryan and Kam were super easy to work with from start to finish and engineering stepped it up to build custom services to ensure the Woofys reveal was incredibly fun and interactive,
Been a privilege to rep The King Pudgy, but it's time for him to take a fat nap in the vault. Took me over 4 months of negotiating to bring him home last year and remains the most exciting deal I've done.
Forever a penguin maxi, but will be larping as a dog for a bit. Woof!

Found my forever Woofy. Fun fact - we named the body trait "Moose" after my first pup🥰
Will be my last pfp change for a while. Can't wait to run around the Cozyverse as him!
We're taking a big risk in our next mobile game by building a low-touch game inspired by Travel Frog. The team decided to do this to focus on a successful game genre that has been largely unexplored in the web3 space and can reach a much greater demographic if successful.
