Pudgy Penguins is a popular NFT collection created in 2021, featuring 8,888 colorful penguin avatars.
The project had a rocky start, with the former founder embroiled in rug pull accusations. However, Schnetzler bought the brand in 2022 for $2.5 million.
Stuffed toy versions of the popular penguins are also for sale in retail giant Walmart which added to its success.
Pudgy Penguin's model allows NFT holders to earn 5% royalties on net revenues from sales of the physical products featuring their unique Pudgy Penguin.
