This week was full of so much good news.

The Inclusiverse is expanding! Are you coming with us?

🤗Happy Hunting, HUGgers

Months of hard work, dozens of artists, hundreds of projects, even more reviews cultivated by our dedicated curators and we have arrived.

The beta launch of HUG's NFT Discovery & Review Platform is officially LIVE! HUG Pass holders can start exploring now. To celebrate, we teamed up with our favorite communities to give away HUG Passes to their communities. No worries if you didn't win the raffle, you can buy a HUG Pass of your own on the secondary market. Finding your favorite NFT is easier than ever: you can sort through projects by genre, roadmap, founder identities, initiatives, and more.

HUG Studios is here to help ✨YOU✨

HUG Studios is the only Web3 accelerator made for creators, by creators. We offer three different programs to meet you where you're at and take your NFT project to the next level

• 🫂groupHUG, a growth accelerator for post-mint projects

• 🦔hedgeHUG, a hands-on advisory program for pre-mint projects

• 👩‍🎨airHUG, an artist-in-residence scholarship for creatives of any medium

HUG's mission is to embrace creators & build a more diverse, inclusive ecosystem. These in-house programs provide the accessibility and resources to do just that. We want to do it with you! Read more and apply here. 

What are you waiting for? Applications are open until August 22.
