Pudgy Penguins, a non-fungible token (NFT) collection, has partnered with Web3 domain provider Unstoppable Domains to allow users to access Pudgy World using .pudgy domain names.
Announced on July 10, this integration enables .pudgy domain holders to sign into the virtual world using only their domain names, enhancing the ownership layer of the Pudgy World experience.
With this new feature, users no longer need to use Web2-based credentials, such as Google or Apple accounts, to log into the virtual world.
This integration also eliminates the need for traditional passwords, streamlining the login process.
Web3 domain names are human-readable addresses that serve as replacements for crypto wallet addresses.
Instead of a long string of random 42-letter characters, Web3 domains offer more straightforward names that represent wallet addresses.
On Jan. 10, Sandy Carter, Unstoppable Domains’ chief operating officer, emphasized the importance of Web3 domains in the adoption of Web3 technology.
Carter noted that these domains have immediate utility, addressing criticisms of the limited use cases for some blockchain-based products like NFTs.
In a press release, Carter highlighted the benefits of integrating Web3 domains with Pudgy World access. She stated:

“This latest integration with Pudgy Penguins empowers users to truly own their digital identities and control their virtual experience.”
Carter believes that using .pudgy domains frees users from Web2 constraints, giving them greater sovereignty over their digital identities and shaping their virtual reality.
These domains act as unique identifiers, allowing users to showcase their individuality within the Pudgy Penguins community.
The integration goes beyond simple usernames, representing users’ digital selves in the virtual world.
Unlike conventional logins, .pudgy domains facilitate long-term management of digital identities, providing access to exclusive chats, events, and activities.
This enriches user engagement and makes interactions more meaningful.
Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz also emphasized the importance of this development, stating that it offers “a more unified experience” through the integration with Unstoppable Domains. Netz explained:
“Being able to login with their .pudgy domains provides a uniquely Web3 experience, which is perfect because, in the virtual world, individuality and ownership are hugely important.”
