What is PENGU?
PENGU is the official ecosystem token of Pudgy Penguins launching on the Solana blockchain. With a total supply of 88.88 billion tokens, $PENGU aims to connect the growing Pudgy Penguins community, which has gained significant attention through social media presence and retail partnerships with major stores like Walmart and Target.
The token serves as a bridge between the Pudgy Penguins NFT ecosystem and its broader community. While launching initially on Solana, PENGU plans to expand to Ethereum and Abstract, a layer-2 scaling network developed by Igloo Inc., the parent company of Pudgy Penguins.
