gm! As we wrap up a busy year for Rug Radio and the web3 space as a whole, we thought we would recap some of our highlights and accomplishments this past year.

Rug Radio voted "Best in Media" at NFT Now 100

Every milestone brings reflections on how surreal the last months have been and I wanted to also thank you all for these achievements during NFT NYC. Rug Radio was voted "Best NFT Media" while I made the NFT NOW 100. Grateful everyday to do what I love with people I love. 🫂❤️
