It’s a great opportunity to engage with our vibrant community, learn, compete, and potentially secure significant rewards.

Prizes Overview

With a prize pool about $100k USD for our first edition, the competition is exciting, and everyone stands a chance to win any of these cool penguin-themed rewards.

The main attraction of our contest is the amazing penguin-themed prizes, It only makes sense that Pingus win Penguin prizes:

  • Pudgy Penguins (current floor 12.1 ETH) NFTs
  • Lil Pudgys (current floor 1 ETH) NFTs
  • 100k $PINGU tokens.

Mechanisms and Rules

Our recurring contests utilize a ticket system that rewards participants based on their activity, be it through trading, pooling, or referrals.

We’ve established a trading/pooling ratio of 2 to 1 based on historical activity.

You earn one raffle ticket every 50,000 points accrued.

As a trader, 50,000 points represents $62.5 in trading fees spent.
As a pooler, you will earn 6 points for every $1 pooled for 24 hours. Hence, 50,000 points represents $8333 pooled for 24 hours, or $277 pooled for 30 days.

The more you points you accrue, the better your chances of winning!

Each address can win up to 1 prize. E.g when the winner of prize #1 is selected, this address won’t be eligible for more prizes for the current month.

How to Participate

Nothing fancy, all things easy:

  1. Trade and/or pool on Pingu.
  2. Earn points through your transactions: 800 points for every USD in fees paid, and 6 points for every 1$ pooled for a period of 24 hours.

  4. Each ticket gives you a chance to win a prize.
