HAVE YOURSELF A $PENGU LITTLE CHRISTMAS: Pudgy Penguins Gift 7 Million+ Wallets Their New Memecoin This Holiday Season!

Apes, check your wallets—there might just be a $PENGU present underneath your metaphorical MetaMask Christmas tree!

Web3 users and the broader crypto space are having themselves a $PENGU little Christmas this Tuesday after Pudgy Penguins launched their highly anticipated memecoin, gifting over 7 million wallets a little something from crypto’s favorite flightless birds!

 

Pudgy Penguin NFT holders, OG Ethereum and Solana users, BNB Explorers, and Abstract Elite Chads are invited to claim their $PENGU tokens anytime between now and March 15th, 2025, according to the project. Take a look at the allocation breakdown below:

“250,000 new community members and counting,” Luca Netz tweeted after this morning's launch. “The Pengu Proliferation has only just begun. Welcome to the huddle.”

 

 

To claim your tokens, you’ll need to link your Ethereum wallets with your Solana wallet. For more information on how to do this, check out Pudgy Penguins’ claim site here: claim.pudgypenguins.com

Following the launch, BAYC members flooded the timeline with screenshots of their $PENGU claims and celebrated their Pudgy frens big win!

 

“The $PENGU airdrop was one of the best airdrops out there in terms of onboarding masses instead of gatekeeping the airdrop only to Pudgy Penguins and Lil Pudgy owners,” BAYC member JeremyyBTC tweeted.”Even people who never engaged with the Pudgy ecosystem were able to receive a nice airdrop simply for being a part of the crypto ecosystem due to that fact, so many people were onboarded onto $PENGU and therefor onboarded onto the Pudgy ecosystem very well done by the team on this end.”

Yuga Labs CEO Garga also chimed in to applaud Luca for pushing Web3 forward. “Love to see teams experimenting with new ways of rewarding communities reward the core, absolutely key to reward the core but there is value to growing the network and bringing in other people who have provided value to the broader ecosystem expand the tent,” he tweeted.

At the time of this article’s publication, $PENGU has a Market cap of $2.6 billion dollars, according to Jupiter Exchange.

 

The Bored Ape Gazette will continue to follow the $PENGU coin drop and periodically remind you over the next 88 days to claim your coins! Stay tuned for updates.
