New Ethereum Layer 2 by Pudgy Penguins: What to Expect?

Pudgy Penguins, an NFT business, says that their Ethereum layer 2 blockchain will be consumer-focused. Pudgy Penguins’ parent business, Igloo, Inc., announced on June 28 that it had acquired Frame, a cryptocurrency development company, along with its crew and mysterious co-founders, “Cygaar” and “Beans,” to become a part of Igloo. It further stated that Frame will sunset and that the financial details of the agreement are not being released.

A forty-year-old legal doctrine was overturned by the US Supreme Court on June 28, which may have an impact on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s cryptocurrency-related initiatives.
