Pudgy PenguinsPENGU

PENGU is the token of Pudgy Penguins, a brand that began as a collection of 8,888 NFTs of cartoon penguins on Ethereum in July 2021. Since April 2022, the project has been run by Igloo Inc., a company led by Luca Netz, which has turned it into a consumer brand with toys and other products that are sold in stores. The PENGU token launched on Solana on December 17, 2024, and it is described as the community token of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem.

The launch was built around a large airdrop. About a quarter of the supply was set aside for holders of Pudgy Penguins NFTs and of related collections such as Lil Pudgys, and a similar share was reserved for other crypto communities. Igloo Inc. is also behind Abstract, an Ethereum layer-2 network whose mainnet launched in January 2025.

PENGU was created with a supply of 88,888,888,888 tokens, a number that echoes the 8,888 NFTs. Airdrop tokens that were not claimed were burned in early 2025, so the total supply is now lower than the original figure. The part of the supply that belongs to the company and the team is released gradually under vesting schedules. Current circulating and total supply figures are shown at the top of this page.

PENGU began trading in December 2024. You can see its all-time high and the full price history on the chart above.
