Pudgy Penguinsā Multichain Ambitions

āAt Igloo Inc., we are focused on making the Pudgy Penguin the most famous character in the world,ā Igloo Inc. shared in a statement earlier this month.
The Pudgy Penguins fanbase continues to grow. However, by launching PENGU on Solana, the team expects to reach an entirely new audience.
Pudgy Penguins Looks To Expand Business Ventures
Created in August 2021, the Luca Netz-led company has quickly become one of the worldās most recognizable NFT brands. Its market cap is hovering around 164,000 ETH.
Currently, the team behind the project is looking to expand its reach beyond NFTs and plush toys to movies, games, and TV.
āIf you could own a piece of Mickey Mouse, would you?ā Netz told TexhCrunchās Jacquelyn Melinek. āWeāre trying to take our Pudgy Penguin and make it our Mickey Mouse.ā
News of the launch comes amid reports that eager participants are damaging potentially eligible physical Pudgy Toys. They are reportedly stealing QR codes amid recent speculations.
