A Sudden Windfall, Universal Airdrop
Last night at 9 PM, the Pudgy Penguins token PENGU airdrop officially began, with a very wide range of recipients. Each Pudgy Penguin can claim about 1.8 million PENGU, with an initial value of approximately $90,000. Recently, the highest sale price of this NFT was about 35 ETH ($140,000), which has currently dropped to 16 ETH ($64,000). Even users who bought at the peak are unlikely to be stuck, making it a "super windfall" for long-term holders.
In addition to its several NFTs, a significant proportion of real users marked as "OG ETH USERS" and "OG SOL USERS" from Ethereum and Solana also received the airdrop. Long-term users of OKX Wallet, BONK holders, and users from Stakeland across various ecosystems can also receive the airdrop, but the official has not provided specific rules, and other airdrop information is released separately by each ecosystem entity.
In addition to the airdrop range, the opening price of the token is also very favorable, with the highest transaction price reaching 0.068 USDT, corresponding to an FDV of about $6 billion. In the first hour after the airdrop began, it maintained a price of about 0.05 USDT, allowing the initial recipients of the tokens to make substantial profits.
As of the time of writing, the price is reported at 0.028 USDT, corresponding to an FDV of about $2.5 billion.
Airdrop Inquiry and Claiming
For inquiries, the official link is (https://claim.pudgypenguins.com/), but this plan links multiple wallets, which is quite inconvenient. Currently, there are several community-developed multi-wallet inquiry tools, and we recommend the batch tool developed by mct (https://mct.xyz/whitelist/83).
The claiming period for PENGU is 88 days, ending on March 15, 2025. Tokens that are not claimed by the deadline will be directly destroyed, and the token price is expected to struggle to maintain high levels, so readers are advised to claim as soon as possible.
External Airdrops
This section summarizes projects that have confirmed PENGU airdrops, allowing readers to check their wallets accordingly:
Long-term users of OKX Wallet: Users who meet the following two conditions will receive the airdrop on December 21 after verification. The conditions are: ① Holding more than 10 USDT equivalent in SOL in the OKX Web3 wallet (snapshot taken on the 17th), ② Trading volume greater than 100 USDT on the Solana chain in the OKX DEX or OKX NFT market in the past 6 months.
BONK holders and users who lock up BONK (minimum of 1 billion BONK) on BONKrewards will receive tokens directly from Pudgy Penguins.
Users who stake over 690 MEME tokens on Stakeland will receive tokens directly from Pudgy Penguins.
Suspected Large Sell-off by Project Party, Who is Buying?
According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa's monitoring, last night, wallets associated with PENGU conducted two large sell-offs, totaling 176 million PENGU (approximately $9.28 million), accounting for 20% of their holdings.
This operation occurred around 10:30 PM, right at the peak price of 0.05 USDT. As of the time of writing, there have been no new actions, but if there is another sell-off, the token price is expected to struggle. Users intending to buy should pay close attention.
Is It a Second Spring for NFTs or a Short-term Effect of Token Issuance Expectations?
With Pudgy Penguins leading the way and the backdrop of a bull market, it is currently considered the best time for various "blue-chip NFTs" to issue tokens, including Azuki, Doodles, Moonbirds, and Cool Cats, all of which have seen over a 50% increase in the past 7 days.
The author reviewed the official Twitter content of the above four blue-chip NFTs since Pudgy Penguins announced the token airdrop on December 6 and found no related content or signs of token issuance. The important content from the past twelve days for these NFTs is summarized as follows:
Doodles: Released the third issue of the comic and airdropped copies of the comic "A Crumby Situation" to Space Doodles holders;
Moonbirds: Joined Yuga Labs' metaverse project Other Page;
Cool Cats: Released the animation “The Milk Chug” Episode 8; received an airdrop from the metaverse project FLUF World;
