In December 2024, the Pudgy Penguins team conducted a large-scale airdrop of PENGU tokens for community members. The distribution included owners of NFTs from the Pudgy Penguins and Lil Pudgy collections, as well as other wallets that interacted with the NFT ecosystem.
According to the data, by the start of the airdrop, over 7 million wallets were deemed eligible to participate, including NFT holders, active users from the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems, and owners of Pudgy Toys physical collectibles.
PENGU was included in Binance's airdrop program for holders, where users receive tokens as a reward for holding BNB.
The distribution was automatic for those who staked their BNB in Simple Earn products from December 9 to 12, 2024.
Trading of the PENGU token began on December 17, 2024, when it was listed on Binance with the "Seed" tag.
