TL;DR

the one-minute version
  • Billed as a quick Halloween check-in, it ran the full hour-plus anyway β€” most of it unplanned.
  • Duck Therapist (@DuckTherapist_) walked through the WIFB build: new website with Token Forge staking, on-site minting and burn-to-upgrade, plus the full origin story of leaving Puppy Unchained mid-bonding-curve and clawing liquidity back from ~2k to ~16.5k 13:08–19:17.
  • XyoPanda (@XyoPanda) opened the hood on Panda Financial's Panda Pass: staking with a seven-day cooldown, fee tiers down to 12%, referral/TVL/time-based level badges, and mint proceeds going straight back into the token's LP 34:50–49:11.
  • The host minted a Panda Pass live on the mic and pulled a WIFB hat β€” arguably the loudest moment of the Space 38:09.
  • Waldo (@waldoforrealz) reported the Facebook meme group at 107,200 members and a new sorting method letting him push WIFB memes through approvals faster 54:48.
  • A 20-minute Amazon custom-neon-sign saga ended with a $70 order placed without bank details, a lot of Bezos slander, and a proposed Bezos-vs-Elon shirtless slap battle on the White House lawn 1:01:42–1:17:50.

Highlights

At 13:08

The new WIFB site is live-ish, legendaries pending.

Duck ran through what's shipped: stake tokens through Token Forge directly on the site, mint NFTs without touching the contract, burn to upgrade. One caveat delivered deadpan β€” burning into a legendary right now gets you essentially an IOU, since the epics and legendaries haven't been released.

At 13:50

The migration story, told straight.

Duck explained how WIFB started on Puppy Unchained, used AI to reverse-engineer their bonding curve for a pre-sale, then watched that chain's token lose more than half its value while the relaunch kept slipping. At the last moment the team walked. "We were doomed from that point" β€” too many tokens sold on a huge curve, launching with ~7k liquidity paired to a token that was already sinking.

At 17:17

The 13% APY experiment that had exactly one customer.

To get people opening liquidity pools, Duck offered up to 13% APY out of a 50-million-token pot. One person took it. Within two weeks new Australian regulations on yieldable crypto products landed and he shut the program down β€” and kept paying the one person who'd signed up. Combined liquidity bottomed at 2k; it's now 16.5k.

At 20:17

The critic who came back.

The host recalled a community member who'd told them the chain move was a mistake, and who showed up a few weeks ago to say they'd done the right thing. She was careful to note he'd been against the move, not against them, and polite about it throughout.

At 26:39

XyoPanda on WAGBi taking his time.

With WAGBi saying he's holding out for an idea that actually makes sense rather than shipping for the sake of shipping, XyoPanda gave him his flowers for it β€” and noted that the top two rarity-ranked Panda Pass NFTs are currently a WAGBi hard hat at #1 and a WIFB hat at #2.

At 32:17

The most trusting security audit of all time.

Waldo reported that Coinbase Wallet is throwing a hard warning on pandafinancial.org β€” XyoPanda's fourth round with Blockade, which also briefly got the collection delisted from OpenSea. Waldo's verdict on proceeding anyway: he hacked himself and drained his own wallet as a favour. XyoPanda countered that every approval is auto-revoked immediately afterwards.

At 38:09

The live mint that paid off.

After some guided clicking through the Grove, the host revealed her Panda Pass: a WIFB hat, the base iPod meme shirt, a purple background and an Aero token on the banner. Waldo's immediate read was that she should start playing the lottery. She signed it, posted it, and spent the rest of the hour admitting she was jealous of her own NFT.

At 44:02

Buybacks into a multisig as a form of burning.

XyoPanda laid out the longer-term Panda Financial plan: once the platform hits $50k total value locked, buybacks kick in and daily APY starts distributing. Base meme tokens bought back get locked into a multisig safe behind multiple signatures β€” which, as he put it, projects can effectively treat as burned supply.

At 54:48

107,200 members and a Halloween meme backlog.

Waldo described a new way of sorting submissions that cuts through the spam, letting him approve months-old WIFB memes from Duck in bulk while getting the Halloween batch up before the day ran out. The host floated a WIFB mint party once epics and legendaries land β€” possibly joint with Ben and Ben's Boat Bodega, with giveaways 56:23.

At 1:08:55

The neon sign.

Hunting a Token Forge sign for her streams, the host found an Amazon listing with no field to upload an image, deliberated for several minutes, then ordered it anyway β€” and the confirmation landed before she'd entered any payment details. Waldo immediately diagnosed theft of the brand-new Panda Pass, and the theory escalated from there: a cloned Amazon store, grafted onto XyoPanda's website, that knew exactly what she was shopping for.

Notable quotes

We were doomed from that point.

I passed everything. I hacked myself and I drained my wallet for you, sir.

Waldo, on clicking through the warnings 32:33

Every approval you make is auto-revoked immediately afterwards. I take my user security extremely serious.

Who said what

  • WIFB on Base (host) β€” ran the Space, handled ambassador reward logistics, minted a Panda Pass and a rare Kitty with Bow on air, floated a mint party with Ben, and bravely tested Amazon's refund policy on everyone's behalf.
  • Duck Therapist $WIFB β€” the build report: new website, Token Forge staking, on-site minting, and the clearest telling yet of the migration and the liquidity climb from 2k to 16.5k.
  • XyoPanda.Base.Eth β€” walked the room through Panda Pass staking, fee tiers, levels and the multisig buyback plan, and did live tech support while the host minted.
  • Waldo β€” Panda Pass holder with a base rooms hat, meme group operator (107,200 members and climbing), and the Space's chief comic engine in the second half.
  • WAGBi β€” dialled in mid-trick-or-treat from his mum's golf-cart neighbourhood, gave the WIFB build a strong endorsement, and said he's waiting on an idea that genuinely makes sense before cooking.

Worth a full listen

  • 13:08–20:17 Duck's unvarnished account of the Puppy Unchained pre-sale, the decision to walk, and the slow grind back up through one-sided liquidity pools and a short-lived APY offer. A genuinely useful postmortem that a summary flattens.
  • 33:33–41:45 the live mint: real-time walkthrough of the Grove, the reveal, the signing mechanic, and the reaction when a WIFB hat comes out of the RNG.
  • 1:08:55–1:17:50 the Amazon saga at full length, from "your order has been placed" to a hypothetical Bezos–Elon slap battle on the White House lawn. Nothing was built, nothing was decided, and it's the funniest stretch of the hour.
