Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) is a popular cryptocurrency brand built around a cartoon family of chubby penguins. It began as a collection of 8,888 unique digital art pictures known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) launched in 2021 on the Ethereum blockchain. Each token represents one-of-a-kind ownership of a specific penguin character, with public records on the blockchain proving who owns them. Over time, the project expanded beyond digital art into a broader ecosystem including real-world toys, a mobile game, and its own coin named PENGU. The brand functions as a friendly internet mascot that exists both as a physical product and a digital asset. While the collection started as a standard NFT project, it evolved into a distinct community with its own utility token. The protocol currently has a maximum supply cap of 88,888,888,888 PENGU tokens. First market data for the coin was recorded in 2024, marking its transition from a purely artistic collection to a tradable cryptocurrency asset within the wider digital economy.
