Open Letter to Our PIGPEN Community
Dear Friends, Supporters, Collaborators, and Pigs,
It is with a heavy heart, tempered by bold determination, that we reflect on our journey from the PIGPENbrand network of storefronts to our new home: PGPNGlobal.com. The transition occurred months ago, but the challenges we faced migrating—our processor putting our account on ice in our old POS account, the complexities of tax remittance in WooCommerce, and more—made it clear that blockchain was the solution we had been waiting for all along. This realization has inspired us to reimagine our ecosystem and make it more unified, resilient, and enticing than ever before.
At the heart of this transformation is PGPN Global Blockchain, a not-for-profit custodial blockchain organization designed to consolidate our diverse projects—from Sluts R Us Records to the 399 Club—under one decentralized framework. This bold step is supported by a unique bottom-up liquidity model, which scales quickly while maintaining stability and fostering community-driven decentralized applications (dApps).
This isn't a cash grab opportunity for PGPN, and to prove it, we aren't even our own boss yet. While we're currently volunteering our service to the SOL and POL fundraising coin efforts, we will continue to seek out established funds in the space to seed support crypto for their own governance tokens, and vote to install the parent organization, the Global Professional Association of Content Creators (GPACC). This parent organization, only viable if run by a healthy mix of traditional financial institutions and decentralization activists, will assume custodial control during the one month burn countdown
Here’s a glimpse at some of the dApps planned for development within our ecosystem:
SLUT.0 — A hookup app designed to compete with Sniffies, Scruff, and Grindr, offering innovative features tailored to our community's needs.
NYPACC Portal — A privacy-focused dApp exploring the utility of Dark Contracts for securely sharing medical records. With the 399 Club planning to offer free STD testing to members, this dApp will have a built-in use case right from the start.
RE-Search — A news app combining Web2 and Web3 scrapers of exchanges and crypto news sites to produce balanced and reliable articles in a murky media space where credibility is scarce.
Yes there are more, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
We know what you might be thinking: “Oh no, they’ve gone full crypto bro.” And to that, we say… kinda. But we’re committed to ensuring this shift is as easy-access and user-friendly as possible. To make this transition seamless, we’re implementing an innovative integration: All past and future PGPN orders will automatically accrue awards points, which will be allocated directly to blockchain cold storage wallets. These wallets will be linked to the email accounts used for purchases, ensuring effortless access without additional steps. Invitations to access these wallets will roll out upon the launch of the GPACC server.
This new chapter isn’t just about adapting to a changing digital landscape—it’s about redefining it in a way that serves you, our community. We remain steadfast in our mission to foster innovation, champion marginalized voices, and build systems that uplift rather than exploit. There will be no room for toxic brocode communities in the DevNet.
Thank you for standing by us through this evolution. Together, we’re we’re shaping the future and making sure there's a seat at the table for people like us. We want to shove so many coins in your piggy banks that they expose their cracks. Watch this space for the first whitepaper draft link, launching soon on slutcoins.com (link will activate at site launch some time before February 2025).
With gratitude and determination,
-Rob aka PGPN

Interim Chairperson, GPACC and $#NYPACC
