In May 2023, Pudgy Penguins introduced a new range of plushies and collectible figurines called Pudgy Toys, inspired by their NFTs.
Each toy comes with a QR code that grants the buyer access to the Pudgy World — an immersive online game on the zkSync Era blockchain, where players can personalize their characters and embark on various quests.
Our zkSync x Pudgy Penguin Toys dashboard provides detailed metrics on the minting of Pudgy Toy NFTs, the variety of traits they have, and the bridging activities of the Pudgy Penguins community on zkSync.
The dashboard is accessible through the left-side navigation panel. Just go to Projects and select zkSync x Pudgy Penguin Toys.
Now let’s explore the stats together!
New Wallets Created: In just six months, nearly 59,000 new wallets have been set up on zkSync, noting that not every Pudgy Toy buyer may have set up a new wallet.
This marks a significant expansion of the Pudgy community on-chain. Comparatively, the NFT holder numbers are:
- Pudgy Penguins: 4,595
- Lil Pudgys: 8,051
- Pudgy Rods: 2,949
The “New Wallets Created” metric is valuable for the Pudgy Penguins and zkSync communities to gauge new interest and adoption rate.
Total Gas Fees Generated: This shows the gas fees used in minting Pudgy Toy NFTs. Daily gas fees usually stay under $500 pre-Dencun upgrade, but there was a surge to almost $3,500 during Christmas 2023.
After the Dencun upgrade on March 13, there was a notable decrease in gas fees despite more minting activity (as shown in the following chart), with daily gas costs now averaging about $20.
Unique Addresses Minting Traits: Over Christmas 2023, the number of unique addresses minting new traits peaked at over 500, while on a typical day, it ranges from 20 to 50.
This graph provides insights into the patterns of new Pudgy Toy NFTs creation over time, clearly showing a surge in sales and the creation of NFTs by new wallets during holiday seasons like Christmas.
