Originally launched in November 2024 on the Solana blockchain, Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) marked a historic moment in NFT-token convergence — emerging as the official ecosystem token for one of Web3’s most iconic and family-friendly NFT brands. 

 

Distributed through a massive airdrop to Pudgy NFT holders, PENGU rapidly gained attention for its cultural reach, meme synergy, and retail accessibility.

 

However, PENGU’s growth was hindered by Solana’s network volatility — including fee instability and limited scalability for token-based staking systems and broader DeFi applications.

 

Now, with the launch of ATC-20 PENGU on AtlantisChain, original PENGU holders can fully unlock the potential of a revolutionary blockchain — delivering 0.093-second transaction finality, ultra-low fixed gas fees, and native support for staking, smart contracts, and ultra-super-fast Web3 protocols.

 

ATC-20 PENGU transforms a globally recognized NFT token into a utility-optimized digital asset — re-engineered for staking, scalability, and long-term ecosystem expansion.
