Pudgy Cat was born on the Cardano blockchain on January 10, 2022 — a community-driven creative project that dared to call itself the #1 ARTCoin on Cardano. Not a DeFi protocol. Not a yield farm. Art, chaos, and cats.

What started as a collection of on-chain NFTs quickly grew into something bigger: a vibrant community of cat lovers, crypto enthusiasts, and creative minds who believed that blockchain could be a canvas, not just a ledger.

Over four years, Pudgy Cat launched two NFT collections, a native token, multiple books, a music EP, a merchandise shop, and applied twice to Cardano’s Project Catalyst for funding — getting excellent reviews both times, but ultimately not funded due to the dynamics of a community that didn’t always reward the outsiders.

On January 10, 2026 — the 4th birthday — Pudgy Cat officially joined Liminal Manifold, a creative collective dedicated to the pioneers of digital entertainment. The Cardano chapter became a legacy. The story continues.

$PUDGY is the native token of the Pudgy Cat ecosystem — a Cardano native asset born from curiosity and distributed with purpose.

Policy ID

Distribution Journey

• The Pudgy Box — an unconventional FTO (Final Token Offering) that let the community claim their share directly
• The Loyalty Program — a snapshot airdrop rewarding the top 69 holders with 1,000,000 $PUDGY each
• The Pudgy Treasure Hunt — the final chapter: 10 wallets × 42,000,000 $PUDGY each, hidden inside books and music

You can find $PUDGY on secondary markets and DEXes on Cardano. The policy is minting-closed — no new tokens will ever be created.

The What Warhol Wanted collection is the flagship NFT drop of Pudgy Cat — 2,222 unique CNFTs, fully on-chain. Not an IPFS link. Not a pointer to a server. The actual art, written forever onto the Cardano blockchain.

Each Pudgy C(at)NFT is unique — with traits ranging from common to legendary, and unexpected surprises hidden inside the metadata for those who know where to look.

Utilities (Active)

The Pudgy Lucky Draw

From Epoch 341 to Epoch 390, each Pudgy C(at)NFT contained 6 Lucky Numbers in its metadata — your lottery ticket. Every epoch, the Pudgy Robo-Butler drew 15 numbers. Match all 6 to claim the JACKPOT. Match 5 for a secondary prize.

Over the course of the draw, approximately 4,000 ADA in prizes were distributed, alongside valuable NFTs from respected Cardano projects. The Lucky Draw is now closed.

The collection is SOLD OUT. Find Pudgy C(at)NFTs on Cardano secondary markets.

Sweet, rare, and entirely on-chain. Candy Cats is a collaboration between Pudgy Cat and The Cardano Sweet Shop — a collection of 500 unique CNFTs, free-minted and sold out in under 10 minutes.

Like the What Warhol Wanted collection, Candy Cats are stored directly on the Cardano blockchain. The art is permanent, immutable, and sugar-free (please don’t eat them).

The final act of $PUDGY distribution. 10 Cardano wallets, each loaded with 100+ ADA and 42,000,000 $PUDGY tokens, waiting to be claimed by whoever finds the hidden seed phrases first.

The seed phrases are hidden inside Pudgy Cat’s creative works — books, music, and more. Each wallet address is public and trackable. The hunt is on.
