We want to hear from you.
We are launching the inaugural CoinDesk U ranking on October 6, at 4ET. See our special lineup of speakers here.
CoinDesk is on a mission to find out which U.S. university is doing the best overall job of teaching, researching and otherwise engaging on the topic of cryptocurrency and decentralized tech. We're gathering data on a host of blockchain-related criteria. And now we really want to know what you – the student, former student or prospective student – thinks.
Have your say
CoinDesk's student survey takes five minutes or just one minute (depending on the option you choose). Your participation will help make this research project as a responsive and accurate as it can be.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
