What the data says
PENGU
PENGU is what happens when an NFT brand outgrows its JPEGs. Pudgy Penguins spent years building the rare thing in crypto — mainstream distribution, from viral GIF packs to toys on retail shelves — and in December 2024 attached a token to that brand with one of the widest airdrops Solana has hosted. As of the October 6, 2026 snapshot, PENGU carries roughly $776.5 million of market capitalization across 559,492 holders at mint 2zMMhcVQEXDtdE6vsFS7S7D5oUodfJHE8vd1gnBouauv.
The chain-level mechanics read clean: mint authority revoked, freeze authority revoked. Supply is fixed at what exists, and no authority can freeze a wallet out of selling — the two structural failures behind most of the losses this site documents, both absent here. A holder base above half a million wallets, seeded by the airdrop, means ownership is broad in a way most brand tokens never achieve; broad bases don't prevent drawdowns, but they make single-wallet price control much harder.
TRX
TRX on Solana is Tron's native token bridged to this chain — a claim on the TRON network's asset that circulates here as a bridged mint rather than the original. The deployment GbbesPbaYh5uiAZSYNXTc7w9jty1rpg3P9L4JeN4LkKc is the Solana representation; our October 6, 2026 snapshot reads $4.6 million of tracked pool liquidity and grades it A.
The honest two-layer note: a bridged TRX inherits both the bridge's custody and the asset underneath — TRON's token, whose own value rides on a chain mostly used for stablecoin settlement in corridors this index doesn't measure. The A grade covers the Solana-side mint; the claim it wraps is a chain-hop away.

How have PENGU and TRX performed over the shared window?

The grade column is the one CMC's compare page cannot print — our grade is computed from the contract itself (mint/freeze authority, liquidity, holder concentration). Changes are measured over the shared window stated on the chart, 2026-09-08→2026-10-17T03:15:24; a token with fewer measured points measures a shorter span inside it.
