Similar decentralized AI projects include Bittensor, dAIOS and Boltzmann Network. Morpheus recently joined the Decentralized AI Society, a trade group focused on fighting the tech giants that wield massive control over AI data.

Morpheus was built using the codebase for Lumerin, a protocol that runs on the Arbitrum blockchain (which itself is a layer-2 running atop Ethereum, the largest smart contract network.)
Morpheus went live on a public testnet, or simulated experimental environment, in July. The project promises personal AIs, also known as "smart agents," that can empower individuals much like personal computers and search engines did in decades past. Among other tasks, agents can "execute smart contracts, connecting to users’ Web3 wallets, DApps, and smart contracts," the team said.

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.
