Moonbug Entertainment and Zigazoo launch ‘Blippi’ NFT Collection – Deadline

EXCLUSIVE: Moonbug Entertainment has teamed up with the social network Zigazoo for children to launch a collection of NFTs for children’s educational programs Blippi.

The NFTs, available from July 21, will serve as unique collectibles and offer buyers the chance to be founding members of the Blippi Fan Pass, which will provide access to exclusive Blippi benefits, videos and behind-the-scenes footage for a year through Zigazoo platform.

Zigazoo and Moonbug have already linked together at NFT collections for children, including an in-app CoComelon drop which was sold out in 48 hours. Zigazoo’s Fan Pass NFT is considered “a groundbreaking new era of brand-to-fan culture once dominated by email, fan pages and call / text subscriptions.”

For the social platform Zigazoo, the agreement comes just after it raised $ 17 million in Series A funding. The company describes its mission as providing “the next generation of digital citizens with an opportunity to safely learn to use social media in positive and constructive ways while introducing them to Web3 technology in a secure environment.”

London- and LA-based Moonbug was launched in 2018 and quickly got a name after its Little Baby Bum series became a YouTube sensation before CoComelon and Blippi followed. Blippis education-focused digital content has received more than a billion monthly views. “With this decline, we are unlocking a whole new way for kids to interact with their favorite characters and putting a Web3 spin on the popular post-in fan clubs that I loved when I was growing up in the 1990s,” said Zak Ringelstein. Founder and CEO of Zigazoo.

“Based on the success of the CoComelon NFT release, we are very excited to partner with Zigazoo again to release our second collection of NFTs with our beloved character, Blippi,” said Simon Philips, MD Global Consumer Products for Moonbug . “This drop comes with exclusive content and benefits that allow children to interact with our brand on and off screen, learn some new skills, and above all have fun while learning through play.”

NFT packages will be available for purchase exclusively through the Zigazoo app.

Zigazoo’s NFT collections are created by combining Zigazoo’s kidSAFE COPPA-certified communities with a digital marketplace built using environmentally sustainable blockchain Flow. Previous setbacks have come through partnerships with such as the internet’s first animation studio Invisible Universe.
