What is Pengu Penguins?
Pengu Penguins is a fun and friendly memecoin created by the team behind Pudgy Penguins, one of the most popular NFT collections in the world. It was launched to spread joy, build community, and reward fans with a free token airdrop.
Pengu lives on the Solana blockchain and is part of a growing digital world full of cute penguins, stories, toys, and games. Think of Pengu as the funny little penguin cousin of other big memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu—but with a lot more charm and community heart.
In December 2024, the Pudgy Penguins team gave away 25.9% of all Pengu tokens (over 22 billion!) in a free token airdrop to people who owned Pudgy NFTs—like Pudgy Penguins, Lil Pudgys, or Pudgy Rods. Even if you bought a Penguin on the day Pengu launched, you still could get free tokens. No wallet snapshot was needed, which made it extra special.
Pengu isn’t just for fun—it’s part of the Pudgy Penguins plan to grow their universe. That includes new games like Pengu Clash, books, toys, and even a custom blockchain layer called Abstract. By holding Pengu, fans may get special access to games, events, and decision-making in the future.
