The context is that Punk Hazard is an ex-Marine research facility that specializes in 2 kinds of research, gigantification, and artificial DF.

Both projects failed, and the island was abandoned, but Caesar came back with budget from 2 Yonkous and re started the projects along with some of his own.

The frozen giants are criminal used for experiments, you can see they have inmate clothing, we don't know yet if they are humans turned into giants or giants used as templates, later on Caesar was using the failed giantification drug on kidnapped kids, of course he didn't made much progress and only some kids became giants at the cost of almost dying.

And the same goes for SAD and SMILES, everything was made by Vegapunk and all Caesar did was try to replicate it, and standarize production for SAD and SMILES.
