Welcome Wednesday 🧁, hosted by @WelcomeApes, Nov 4, 2026.

• ESSENTIAL (@essentialceo) was named November's Ape of the Month, and came up live to accept it — plus a free Mudwater pack,.
• Welcome Apes hit 2,000 apes welcomed on the timeline since February 2024, and the 2,000th was CCM (@ccmweb3), who had been meaning to DM them for a month.
• ngbshpend.eth gave a full Mudwater status report: combination flow is live, redemption flow is coming, physical-to-digital packs will be marked as "loose" and can't be recombined into sealed boxes.
• Two gifted-ape stories in one night: James Hall woke up to a Deathbot grail in his wallet from a near-anonymous benefactor, and Burningbush was gifted a mutant by OG ape Tim.
• Tiger is fine reported back on the sold-out Ape Fest ladies' tea party and pointed people at Clubhouse & Co; DJ BASIKS noted his wife now wants her own ape, making this "the most expensive Ape Fest ever",.
• JayVegas won the space's Mudwater pack and announced immediate intent to rip it.
