TL;DR
Cole, the Sprite Hood NFT founder, previously co-founded Pudgy Penguins, collected royalties, and sold the brand to Luca for $2.5M before disappearing.
Despite his controversial past, Cole returned from retirement to launch Sprite Hood — a 44,444-piece NFT collection on Robinhood Chain priced at $17 each.
Sprite Hood sold out completely, earning Cole approximately $750,000 and proving his name still carries major selling power in the NFT market.
Who Is Cole, the Sprite Hood NFT Founder?
Cole is the co-founder behind Sprite Hood — but his track record in the NFT space goes back further than most people realize, and it’s worth understanding before minting anything.
Cole’s Full NFT History: From Pudgy Penguins to Sprite Hood
Here’s a breakdown of Cole’s career moves in chronological order:
- Minted his own “Pickle” NFT for free and generated over 1,000 ETH in trading volume, pocketing a solid royalty cut.
- Minted Pudgy Penguins at just 0.03 ETH each.
- Airdropped Pudgy Rods to Pudgy Penguins holders.
- Launched Lil Pudgy, also at 0.03 ETH each, again collecting royalties.
- Proceeded to run the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem into the ground.
- Sold the Pudgy Penguins brand to Luca for $2.5M and quietly exited.
- While the new team rebuilt Pudgy Penguins into one of the most successful NFT brands, Cole disappeared into the sunset as the “original founder.”
Cole Returns: Launching Sprite Hood on Robinhood Chain
After watching Robinhood Chain NFTs heat up, Cole came out of retirement to launch a brand new NFT collection called Sprite Hood. The collection consists of 44,444 NFTs, each minted at $17 — and it sold out completely, generating approximately $750,000 in revenue.
The fact that Cole — despite his controversial Pudgy Penguins exit — managed to sell out 44,444 NFTs is a testament to how powerful founder name recognition still is in the NFT space, for better or worse.
