EntitiesIgloo IncIgloo Inc. refocused entirely on Pudgy Penguins 26 days ago after winding down Abstract, consolidating resources behind $PENGU token and NFT ecosystem. Recent momentum includes $PENGU listings on SoFi (major nationally-chartered bank crypto offering), Robinhood, and Paxos; 120B+ GIPHY views; and expansion into beverages via Kung Fu Tea partnership and collectibles with Manchester City and Kakao.
Igloo Inc is a Miami-based Web3 holding company founded in 2024 by Luca Netz, operating as the parent organization for Pudgy Penguins, OverpassIP, and Cube Labs. Its stated mission is building infrastructure and consumer brands that bring mainstream audiences into crypto, rather than operating as a single protocol or NFT collection.
Pudgy Penguins is the flagship brand and entry point, reaching mainstream audiences through NFTs, retail merchandise, and social media presence. OverpassIP lets NFT holders license their digital assets commercially. Cube Labs, formed after Igloo's 2024 fundraise, leads blockchain R&D and contributed engineering to the Abstract blockchain — co-invented by Luca Netz, Michael Lee (Cube Labs CEO), and Lorenzo Melendez, with engineering led by Cygaar, 0xbeans, and stinkypablo.
In July 2024, Igloo raised over 11 million in a round led by Founders Fund, with participation from 1kx, Fenbushi Capital, Everest Ventures Group, and Selini Capital, funding its contribution to Abstract. That June, Igloo also acquired the Frame team — developers of on-chain royalty systems — who integrated into Igloo's Abstract engineering effort. In November 2024, Animoca Brands made a strategic SAFE investment in Igloo, joined by The Sandbox and Animoca Brands Japan.
Igloo Inc's disclosed revenue streams span NFT royalties and secondary sales (Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgys), physical merchandise sold through retail partnerships (1.5M+ toys), IP licensing via OverpassIP, blockchain infrastructure contributions through Abstract, and token economics via PENGU on Solana.
