Pudgy Penguins: From NFT Collectibles to a Global Web3 Brand

Startup and Growth Journey

In July 2021, four university students launched 8,888 unique cartoon penguin NFTs, which sold out in just 19 minutes, quickly sparking a market frenzy. However, initial management controversies raised community concerns, and in early 2022, Luca Netz took the lead to reshape the brand vision.

Diverse ecological layout

The new team will develop Pudgy Penguins into a multi-layered ecosystem that encompasses both physical and virtual aspects. Pudgy Toys is now available on Amazon and Walmart, Pudgy World offers an interactive sharing experience on zkSync, Pudgy Swap simplifies NFT trading, and OverpassIP assists in extending intellectual property to more collaborations.

Exclusive infrastructure and brand strategy

Abstract Chain, as a self-developed Layer 2 public chain, improves transaction speed and cost-effectiveness. With .pudgy on-chain domain names and on-chain games, Pudgy Penguins actively build recognition and ecological stickiness, expanding their influence in Web3.

$PENGU token ecosystem

At the end of 2023, 88.888 billion $PENGU will be issued, with more than half used for community incentives and airdrops. The tokens for the team and investors are locked to ensure stable long-term development. In the future, $PENGU will connect brands and users, covering both digital and physical scenarios.

Brand Vision and Cultural Influence

Pudgy Penguins strives to become a cultural symbol of Web3 and a globally recognized IP. It is not just an NFT, but also represents a model of community power and co-creation economy, promoting the diversified development of the entire blockchain ecosystem.
