Pudgy Penguins: From Web3 Icon to Social Currency

By Animoca Brands Research

  • Pudgy Penguins, initially a successful PFP NFT launch featuring adorable penguin figures, gained early traction but lost momentum following unmet community expectations. 

  • In 2022, current CEO Luca Netz acquired the project and transformed it into a successful IP business through omnichannel meme viral marketing, online experience building, and in-store toy sales.

  • OverpassIP, an NFT licensing platform built by the same team, enables NFT holders to earn royalties, converting Pudgy NFTs with purely speculative value into assets with fundamentals tied to the IP’s commercial success.
