Pudgy Penguins is a Web3-native brand that began as a collection of 8,888 unique, hand-drawn penguin NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. These digital collectibles have become emblematic within the NFT community, symbolizing creativity, community engagement, and the playful spirit of the crypto space. Beyond digital art, Pudgy Penguins has expanded into producing content, merchandise, toys, and other digital collectibles, aiming to foster creativity, freedom, and community among its members.
The ecosystem introduced the $PENGU token on the Solana blockchain, serving as a community-centric asset designed for fun and entertainment. The token allows the expansive Pudgy Penguins fan base to align themselves more closely with the brand. Notably, upon the closure of the initial claim period, 13.69% of the total $PENGU supply, amounting to over 12 billion tokens, was burned to enhance scarcity and value. While $PENGU adds a new dimension to the Pudgy Penguins universe, it is intended primarily for entertainment purposes and does not hold intrinsic commercial value.
