Netz also cautioned users against rash move which could lead to scams, saying, “PLEASE do not rush to claim & make sure to triple check the link you’re claiming from and cross reference our discord, my X account, and the main @pudgypenguins account before you connect anything.”

$PENGU claimants need to connect both a Solana wallet and an Ethereum wallet and need to ensure that both wallets are accessible on the same device. Additionally, a Solana wallet with at least $10 worth of $SOL is required to cover gas fees.

As per the announcement, using a desktop device is highly recommended, as mobile setups can be complex due to dual wallet approvals.

PENGU Token Supply

The total supply of $PENGU is capped at 88,888,888,888 tokens, which will be minted on the Solana blockchain during the Token Generation Event (TGE).

25% airdrop would be allotted to Solana users. Active users in the Solana ecosystem, including those using Phantom and Jupiter dApps, may also receive $PENGU tokens even if they don’t hold a Pudgy NFT.

Although the token launches on Solana, it is expected to expand to Ethereum and AbstractChain, an Ethereum layer-2 scaling network built by Igloo Inc.

We had initially covered that $PENGU will debut for spot trading on Binance at 9:00 AM ET on December 17, making Binance the first exchange to support the token. The latest update is that Bybit and OKX are also considering a similar move. Solana-based decentralized exchanges (DEXs) will also facilitate trading, with more platforms likely to follow.

$PENGU and Pudgy Toys Integration

Pudgy Toys, built on AbstractChain, will be bridged to $PENGU via LayerZero once Abstract’s mainnet goes live. This bridge will enable Pudgy Penguins toy buyers to claim $PENGU tokens, with further details expected in January 2025.

Pudgy Penguins Market Trends

The token has already generated massive excitement, recording $389,500 in pre-market trading. The market cap of Pudgy Penguins has also gone up to 293,126 ETH(worth over 1 Billion), as the project made a 24 hour sale of 190.
