Puddle (0xPuddle) is a co‑founder of EurekaNews.xyz, responsible for the platform’s brand, visual design, and much of its business development work. In community discussions on Telegram and X, contributors consistently credit Puddle with turning Eureka from “just another community rescue” into something that looks and feels like a real product—showing up daily to refine branding, pitch the project to other builders, and iterate on how the site presents Abstract to the outside world.

Role in Eureka News

Within the team, responsibilities are intentionally split:

• Mal (@0xMal_) handles technical architecture and implementation.
• Puddle leads visual identity, graphics for every article, social media assets, and outreach to projects that later receive coverage.

On the Eureka News author page, he is listed simply as “Building Eureka News • Contributor CTO ERK,” but that undersells his day‑to‑day work. From internal and public chats, the pattern is clear: when an Abstract project asks for help telling its story or needs a first serious write‑up, Puddle is often the one DM‑ing founders, gathering context, and coordinating how it will look on the site.

Professional Background & Approach

Puddle has told the community that he runs a successful creative design studio in the Netherlands, and that background is visible in how Eureka presents itself: consistent typography, clean layouts, and a coherent visual system that ties together everything from token glossaries to long‑form analysis. Community members on Telegram and X describe his style as “agency‑level work dropped into a CT‑style project,” noting that he brings process and standards that most meme‑coin teams never reach.

Crucially, Puddle is not a programmer; his contribution is applying professional creative practice to a crypto context. That includes:

• Designing and refining the Eureka brand system and mascot usage.
• Producing graphics and covers for major pieces (Cambria deep dives, NOOT post‑mortems, token glossaries).
• Helping shape the tone of the site so it reads as matter‑of‑fact and researched, not promotional.

Grit, Iteration, and Real Problems

In both public writing and group chats, Puddle frames Eureka as a response to real pain points he and others ran into while trying to navigate Abstract: constant repetition of basic questions, projects disappearing into private discords, and no neutral place to send newcomers who ask “What should I read to understand this chain?”

The early months after the ERK rug—rebuilding Telegram, experimenting with a learn‑to‑earn quiz, trying different visual formats—are often cited by the team as proof of his willingness to keep trying new approaches until something sticks. When the quiz didn’t work, he shifted focus without drama: lock in the brand, make the site readable, start talking to teams, and use each article as a small experiment in how to present Abstract to the wider internet.

Community feedback highlights three recurring traits:

• Consistency: Puddle is present in chats and DMs nearly every day, circulating drafts, mockups, and ideas.
• Pragmatism: He gravitates toward whatever will actually help a project—sometimes that’s a full feature, other times a simple glossary entry or social card.
• Low‑ego collaboration: Builders note that he asks what they want to achieve, then adjusts visuals and messaging accordingly.

Business Development & Ecosystem Bridge

Beyond design, Puddle plays a quiet but important business development role for Eureka:

• Reaching out to project teams for interviews and fact‑checks.
• Coordinating with ecosystem participants (games, memecoins, infra teams) to line up coverage that reflects reality instead of rumor.
• Helping position Eureka as a neutral place where multiple sides of a story can be told without turning into a shill thread.

In community channels, several builders have remarked that Eureka only exists in its current form because “Mal kept building and Puddle kept knocking on doors”—a division of labor where one person focuses on code and systems, while the other handles human relationships and how the work is perceived.

Ecosystem Ties

Puddle is also an active member of Lil Pudgys and Bearish communities; his X profile uses a Lil Pudgys NFT as a PFP, and Bearish often appears in his visual work. That alignment with existing culture helps Eureka’s branding feel native to Abstract’s broader Pudgy‑aligned identity rather than bolted on from the outside.
