UnCaged will use the funding to develop its Solana-based esports franchise MonkeyLeague ahead of its public launch at the end of the year. Prior to the current funding round, MonkeyLeague had a $4 million token presale.
The money will also be used for future projects on its native Game OS platform. Game OS supports those entering blockchain gaming through its end-to-end developer platform. From tokenomics to non-fungible token (NFT) integration, it is intended to help gaming companies make the switch from Web2 to Web3.
UnCaged isn’t alone in its efforts to support blockchain game developers. Last week, Web3 gaming network Planetarium Labs raised $32 million in a Series A round led by Animoca Brands. And in March, gaming development platform Joyride raised $14 million in seed funding.
UnCaged was founded in 2021 by Raz and Tal Friedman, brothers who previously worked at Israeli gaming company Playtika.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
O que saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
