According to the post, PENGU will prepare a total supply of more than 88 billion tokens on the Solana blockchain. The Igloo inc-backed NFT collection plans to allocate 25.9% of the tokens to the Pudgy community and 24.12% to other communities, including around 5 million potential new huddle members. 
Moreover, approximately 11.48% of the token supply will be allocated to the company, while 17.8% will go to current and future team members. When combined, this means that nearly 30% of the PENGU token supply will go to the company and team members.

However, the tokens allocated to the company and its team members are bound by a one-year cliff period and a three year lock-up period. This means token holders will not be able to sell or transfer any PENGU tokens until one year has passed, afterwards tokens will be gradually released over a period of three years. 
Aside from team members and community, 12.35% of the total token supply will go to maintaining token liquidity, 4% will be allocated to public good and 4% for proliferation. 
The announcement also mentioned that 0.35% of the tokens will go to FTT (<a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/price/ftx/">FTT</a>) holders, which are traders who still hold the <a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/tag/ftx/">FTX</a> native utility token. 
Launched in 2021, Pudgy Penguins is a collection of 8,888 NFTs with a total volume of 389,742 ETH according to <a href="https://opensea.io/collection/pudgypenguins" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">OpenSea</a>.
