Pudgy Penguins

About

Pudgy Penguins is a Web3-native intellectual property (IP) brand built around its popular Pudgy Penguins NFT collection, digital collectibles, physical toys, community experiences, and the PENGU ecosystem. Originally launched as an NFT project on Ethereum, Pudgy Penguins has grown beyond profile-picture NFTs into a consumer-focused brand. Its ecosystem now covers NFTs, toys, digital experiences, merchandise, licensing, gaming, and crypto culture. Led by CEO Luca Netz, Pudgy Penguins focuses on bringing Web3 IP to mainstream audiences. The brand connects digital ownership with the physical world through its products and experiences. Pudgy Penguins was created by four pseudonymous college students: Cole Villemain (ColeThereum), Clayton Patterson (Mrs. Patterson), Mickyj, and Jonah. In April 2022, entrepreneur Luca Schnetzler (Luca Netz) acquired the brand. Pudgy Penguins Details Attribute Details Parent / Operating Company Igloo, Inc.
