PANDAPALS SATURDAY POP UP 🐼, hosted by @PandaPals__, Oct 17, 2026.

• What began as a workaround for a failed one-on-one call ("we couldn't call each other, it was bizarre") turned into a four-hour pop-up — Panda said as much at and.
• The first ~40 minutes are a full scam-avoidance primer for newcomer Robdog: hardware wallets, fake Ledger firmware emails, voice cloning, burner wallets, plus the Panda Pals pitch (Base, 10k NFTs, 200+ skins, audited staking, 175M Giphy views).
• JINXAT joined from Indonesia at 3 a.m. local, asked to feature Panda Pals on his project directory, said he'd mint one next week, and offered to gift Panda an NFT from his own collection–.
• A long AI stretch: Zoltan on local LLMs, VPS setups, a $200 image-generation disaster, and out-productivity-ing half his office; Waldo on burning a week of Grok credits in a day building a farming RPG.
• Pengy Peng briefed the room on the Abstract shutdown fallout and pitched a Halloween panda costume contest, which Panda green-lit on the spot.
• All Your Base put out an all-hands call for the Base meme summit — Thursday, 11 a.m. ET, in the hubs.app metaverse, with Jesse Pollock and an unusually open Q&A section.

PANDAPALS AFTER DARK 🐼, hosted by @PandaPals__, Sep 18, 2026.

• A no-topic, no-promo Friday hangout that ran until 3am and somehow still had ~17 people in the room — which Panda kept treating as his own homemade bull-market indicator.
• Panda gave a build update: site now has an interactive Pandorino vs. Pandarina comparison, the app is in dev-session purgatory, and tomorrow is "kick the door down" day.
• Momville shared what the Spokane-area fires did to her family and community — including a deliberately-set fire and its aftermath.
• Waldo confirmed the community donation landed: school supplies and backpacks distributed in Nigeria, with notebooks he designed himself.
• doji.base.eth's "home" artwork — a collage of friends' PFPs and projects — got picked up by Jesse Pollak, and Doji framed the win as everyone's.
• BillabongMonkey and WRX ran a long, granular market read (BTC 81k, total3, Clarity Act, midterms), capped much later by a deep dive on the SEC's five-year innovation exemption for tokenized stocks.

PANDAPALS AFTER DARK 🐼, hosted by @PandaPals__, Aug 14, 2026.

• An impromptu Friday-night hang that started as a victory-lap after everyone spilled over from Toes's earlier room, and ran until roughly 4 a.m. Eastern.
• The spine of the first three hours was a marathon effort to help Larry Pink's Pool Party (and later Toes) mint a Panda on the base app — a saga that only cracked when someone realized his USDC needed to be base USDC.
• Real onboarding friction became the recurring theme: Curtis and Doji both pushed for step-by-step how-to videos, and Bill floated an Apple Pay mint path to kill the web3 learning curve.
• A long, genuinely good discussion on space cadence (daily vs. weekly), led by Peanut's case for scarcity and diversity of speakers.
• Kat (The Cat) closed the night with a heavy, wide-ranging deep dive: his grandmother's recent passing, a nine-figure private-sale scam he says helped kill the altcoin market, and an extended warning about AI, malware, and surveillance.
• Running warmth throughout: Panda repeatedly framing this as "watering the bamboo," giving flowers to consistent members, and shrugging that he "hasn't made any money on this project — and that's okay."

PANDAPALS AFTER DARK, hosted by @PandaPals__, Jul 24, 2026.

• An impromptu Friday-night "after dark" edition of the Panda Pals lounge — a low-stakes, six-and-a-half-hour hang that leaned into community, mental health, relationships and cat photos far more than project talk.
• keRRy spent the night trying to mint a Panda Pal, failed repeatedly (turned out he was on the wrong network — he's a Base NFT, keRRy was on ETH), then finally minted a celestial-skin panda in overalls to much fanfare.
• Lil Southern Mama, two weeks into X, got officially onboarded as a marble Pandarina with heavy help from Curtis and Brandon.
• Recurring themes: giving people "grace" not to attend every Space, slowing down, screen fatigue, and staying present in a get-rich-quick age.
• Dr.Crypto shared her "opportunity trading" approach; Billa (BillabongMonkey) shared a 28-year relationship story and a lot of hard-won wisdom on trust.
• Panda's builder updates: merging the two Panda Pals sites into one, an app in progress, a Saturday session with dev Dan, and GIF share stats (750+ shares on the Cousins Day gif).
