Nifty Gateway Studio (“NGS”) is a full-service, digital production studio working with creators and brands to develop and distribute immersive social entertainment and creative experiences onchain.
NGS is known for its collaborations with creators such as Refik Anadol, BEEPLE, PAK, Sam Spratt, and Daniel Arsham.
History
Founded in 2019 by Duncan and Griffin Cock Foster with the goal of transforming the art market, Nifty Gateway attracted the attention of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, founders of Gemini Trust Company, who acquired Nifty Gateway later that year. The acquisition led to Nifty Gateway’s expansion and was followed by collaborations with artists such as Refik Anadol, BEEPLE, PAK, Sam Spratt, and Daniel Arsham, as well as brands including Samsung, Playboy, Starbucks and others.
Nifty Gateway Studio
In 2024, Nifty Gateway rebranded as Nifty Gateway Studio (“NGS”), transitioning from an NFT marketplace to a full-service digital production studio that collaborates with partners throughout the creative process, focusing on brand and IP growth.
As emerging technologies raise complex questions about ownership, NGS uses onchain technology to address modern intellectual property challenges, giving creators control over their creative IP—including copyright, distribution, and merchandising—while supporting them with royalties.
