  • Pudgy Penguins launched Pengu Clash, a skill-based game on the TON blockchain with seamless access through Telegram.
  • Players compete in real-time one-on-one mini-games that reward pure skill, not token ownership.

Pengu Clash has finally been officially launched its characters to the world of blockchain-based gaming. Not just a portfolio complement, this game shows their seriousness in expanding the ecosystem from just NFT on Ethereum to an experience that can really be played and felt directly by users.

Seamless Play on TON: No Wallet? No Problem

This game is based on one-on-one duels, where players compete through mini-games such as curling, darts, and the like. But don’t be in a hurry to imagine a casual game—because victory here is determined purely by skill, not who has the most tokens.

Pengu Clash is built on The Open Network (TON). This network is known for its speed and high connectivity with Telegram. That means, players can play directly from the Telegram application without the hassle of opening a crypto wallet first.

What’s more interesting, for those who want to buy cosmetics or additional items, they can directly use their default Telegram wallet or other TON wallets. So, for users who are lazy to bother, this can be said to be a fairly friendly gateway to the Web3 world.

Pudgy Penguins Expands Beyond NFTs With Books, AI, and Travel Perks

However, this game is not the only way for Pudgy to reach a wider audience. On the other hand, they have also opened pre-orders for their first children’s book titled “The Worst Birthday Present Ever,” and according to CNF reports, the book is already available at Walmart, Target, and Barnes & Noble.

Not only that, in February, they also partnered with OpenLedger to integrate AI into their NFT characters. This collaboration makes Pudgy NFTs more alive—users can customize their characters, give AI-based expressions or responses, something that was previously impossible for static images.

Furthermore, in mid-June, Pudgy made another breakthrough. Through a collaboration with Lufthansa, users who shop at the Pudgy Shop can collect miles from the airline’s frequent flyer program.

Not only using fiat, shopping using PENGU tokens still gets points. Imagine, buying a cute hoodie from Pudgy, then getting a discount on a ticket to Europe. At this stage, it feels like they are not just an ordinary NFT project—they are already a global brand.

On the market side, PENGU token movement has been a bit sluggish lately. At the time of writing, PENGU is changing hands at about $0.009201, down 3.6% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of under $580 million. But yes, this fluctuation can be said to be normal, especially since the project is new to the gaming world with a slightly different economic model: not farming, not staking, but play-to-win. Players have to win, not just have.
