This past week came with multiple monumental moments, where our daily dedication to building a more diverse and inclusive Web3 came to fruition.

We're so excited to tell you all about it ✨

HUG and going farther, together🤗

The biggest news of the week? Our partnership with Floor! HUG and our friends at Floor are driven by shared principles of inclusion, accessibility, and education. Both teams saw an opportunity to make Web3 more welcoming through thoughtfully designed, innovative products. You can now view HUG-curated collections in Floor's easy-to-use app. Bonus? Additional benefits to holders for both of our communities.

Hold tight— It gets better! HUG has been nominated for a Crypties Award for our work in diversity. Winning prize or not, we'll keep working hard to make sure everyone is seen, represented, and celebrated in Web3.

The devs are definitely doing something. Updates to thehug.xyz Discovery Platform are ongoing, and it is only getting more and more dynamic. You can leave reviews, earn HUG Points, and level-up on the platform. Check our step-by-step guide to learn more. Want some alpha? You'll want to start stacking HUG Points ASAP. We'll spill the beans as soon as we can 😘

HUG-lloween and what's ahead 👀

Our October cohort of HUG Studios has kicked off, with creators from all over the world coming together and studying up for success. HUG Studios Creative Director, Michael Littig, will be speaking with Ben & Mai of Curious Addys to learn more about their up and coming no-code NFT toolbox, Launchpad. Extraordinary as usual, our HUG committees have plotted and planned events throughout the week. Set your reminders now.

HUG-lloween enters its final week. We're hosting three different initiatives to flex your creativity: from the haunted houses of #HUGCreatorClub to the prizes that await our costume and pumpkin creating contests 👻

Oh, did we forget to mention that HUG now has a pink squirrel named Hugo? We're guiding him through a Haunted Carnival orchestrated by a sinister entity👿

Last but far, far from least: Seek out the spooky side of thehug.xyz platform on Thursday with our first-ever scavenger hunt! Puzzles, POAPs, and prizes await those who can find every trick and treat🎃
