How to convert USD Coin to Pudgy Penguins

Converting USDC to PENGU on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit USDC from Ethereum
Go to the Deposit tab and select USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your USDC there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on Ethereum, your USDC balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap USDC to PENGU on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick USDC as the source and PENGU as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw PENGU to Solana
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose Solana as the destination. Enter an address from a Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the USDC → PENGU swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your USDC leaves Ethereum and PENGU arrives on Solana. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is PENGU on Solana, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Swapping USDC to PENGU is how you buy Pudgy Penguins with US dollars you already hold on-chain: you pay in a stablecoin and receive PENGU directly on Solana.

About USD Coin and Pudgy Penguins

What is USD Coin (USDC)?

USDC is a US dollar stablecoin issued by Circle, first launched in September 2018 through the Centre consortium that Circle founded with Coinbase. Circle now manages the token directly, and USDC is issued natively on a range of blockchains, with Ethereum among the largest.

How USD Coin works

Each USDC is meant to be redeemable for one dollar, and Circle mints or burns tokens as institutional customers deposit or withdraw funds. Reserves are held in cash and short-dated US government obligations, largely through a dedicated fund, and Circle publishes regular reports on their composition.

What USDC is used for

USDC is widely used for settlement and payments, both in crypto markets and in business transfers that benefit from moving dollars at any hour. In decentralized finance it serves as a common unit for lending, liquidity pools and trading.

USDC supply

Supply is elastic: USDC is created when dollars are deposited and destroyed when it is redeemed. Circle aims to keep reserves equal to or greater than the amount of USDC in circulation.

Before you swap USDC

The widget defaults to USDC on Ethereum, but the same token also lives on Solana, NEAR, Base and other chains, so select the network your wallet actually uses. Beware of bridged versions with similar names, which are not the same as natively issued USDC.

What is Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)?

PENGU is the fungible token of Pudgy Penguins, an Ethereum NFT collection first minted in 2021 and later taken over by Igloo Inc., the company led by Luca Netz. The token went live on Solana in December 2024, with a large airdrop to NFT holders and members of other crypto communities.

How Pudgy Penguins works

On Solana, PENGU is an ordinary SPL token with no staking, rebasing or fee mechanics built into its contract.

What PENGU is used for

Most holders use PENGU as a liquid way to be exposed to the Pudgy Penguins brand and to take part in its online community. It is also traded heavily on centralized exchanges and Solana DEXs, and appears in games and campaigns run around the franchise.

PENGU supply

The total supply was set at 88,888,888,888 PENGU at launch, split between community airdrops, the company, liquidity and team allocations that unlock over several years. No inflation mechanism mints new tokens.

Before you swap PENGU

This listing moves PENGU on Solana, so a small SOL balance is needed to move or trade it after withdrawal. Like other meme-style assets it can swing sharply within hours, so check the quote carefully before confirming.
