Established in July 2021, Pudgy Penguins is a digital asset firm created by co-founders Cole Villemain, Clayton Patterson and pseudonym identities “MickyJ” and “Jonah”. In recent years, the digital asset firm has been under the good stewardship of Luca Netz, who now serves as the CEO of the Pudgy Penguins.

The digital asset firm is renowned in the NFT market for its Pudgy Penguins and Lil Pudgys NFT collections. Pudgy Penguins is an NFT collection featuring a limited edition of 8,888 cute owl birds, while Lil Pudgys is an NFT collection featuring a set of 22,222 NFTs.

Pudgy Penguins first started selling its NFT-inspired physical toys sometime in May, where the NFT brand saw $500,000 in purchases over the first two days, surpassing 20,000 individual toys sold. At the time, the Pudgy Penguins was only selling its NFT toys in the e-commerce market, Amazon.

In late September, Pudgy Penguins announced the expansion of its Pudgy Toys in 2,000 Walmart stores across the United States of America. In a short presser at the time, Luca Netz, the CEO of the Pudgy Penguins, articulated the brand’s vision. He explained:

“Pudgy Penguins is at the forefront of transforming the toy industry, merging unique digital experiences with blockchain technology, like Ethereum and zkSync. Our years of effort in brand development and community engagement through social media and the blockchain have now been magnified with Walmart’s support.”
