Accept Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) payments

PENGU is the token of the Pudgy Penguins brand, launched on Solana. Customers who hold it can pay with it on the same easyway checkout and API as SOL, USDT and USDC. Below: the Solana mint that counts, why the copies on other chains are not credited, and what a sub-cent token means for invoice amounts and fees.

Token, network and limits

The mint is the one listed in Trust Wallet's token registry, on CoinGecko and as a verified token on Jupiter. We checked it on mainnet: a standard SPL token (the classic Token program, not Token-2022) with 6 decimals. Its mint authority is disabled, so no more PENGU can be created on Solana, and it has no freeze authority, so nobody can lock the tokens on your balance or in a customer's wallet.

Solana yes, other chains no

PENGU also exists outside Solana, which is the most common way a PENGU payment goes wrong. A wallet or exchange may show the same name and ticker on any of these:

The invoice address is a Solana address, so an Ethereum or BNB Chain wallet cannot send to it in the first place; the real risk is an exchange withdrawal on the wrong network. Customers withdrawing PENGU from an exchange pick Solana as the network. Tokens sent on another network never reach the invoice and cannot be recovered by easyway. Pudgy Penguins NFTs are a separate thing again: only the PENGU token is a payment.

What paying looks like for the customer

The customer picks PENGU, sees an amount and a fresh Solana address (with a QR code), and sends exactly that amount, for example in Phantom or Solflare. The wallet needs a little SOL for the network fee, plus a small one-time SOL deposit if the invoice address has never held PENGU (its token account is created on the way). An exchange withdrawal covers this itself.

A payment counts once its block is finalized (usually well under a minute) and a second, independent RPC provider returns the same amount. Transfers below 2 PENGU are ignored as dust; larger ones to the same address add up. Short and late payments follow the underpaid and late payments guide.

Large amounts, small price

PENGU trades well below one cent, so a modest order turns into a long number: a $25 invoice asks for several thousand PENGU. The checkout shows the exact amount with its decimals and puts it in the QR code, so the customer does not have to type it. For a USD invoice that amount is locked from the exchange rate when the customer chooses the coin; after the payment, PENGU is credited and withdrawn as PENGU, and from then on the price is your risk. The two ways to price an invoice are compared in pricing an invoice in USD or in the coin.

The platform fee is a flat 0.5% of each confirmed payment: 10,000 PENGU paid leaves 9,950 on your balance. The withdrawal fee and minimum above are fixed token amounts that cover the Solana fee and the recipient's token-account deposit at listing time. To end up with dollars, also offer USDT on Solana or USDC and choose per invoice with allowed_assets. All coins are on the pricing page.

Integrating

Nothing is PENGU-specific: create an invoice through the API (or a payment link without code), redirect to the hosted checkout, and fulfil on the signed invoice.paid webhook. The quickstart has runnable examples, and the sandbox guide shows the flow without real funds.

Common questions

Who holds the PENGU? easyway keeps it on your balance until you withdraw. Live withdrawals go only to addresses you have whitelisted with two-factor authentication; see security.
