Petra Wallet continues to evolve as new implementations and features are launched.
On November 27th, Petra Wallet announced Petra Nudge, a social feature enabling users to nudge each other within the wallet, similar to Facebook’s poke feature.
Over a short amount of time, this feature became very popular. Aptos CTO Avery Ching posted about being inundated with Nudges from the community several times,
Another feature was added to Nudge, which was Lightning Nudge, making gas payments automatic and the experience smoother for users.
Eventually, Emojicoins were introduced into the Nudge feature, which created much activity within the Aptos Community since they could collect 
emojicoins for their Nudges. This was so popular that eventually the ran out.
