Pudgy Penguins' Pengubot Goes Live on Coinbase's Base Network

Pudgy Penguins (pudgypenguins) has announced that Pengubot — the project's chatbot service — is now live on Base (base), Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 scaling network. The announcement came via a retweet of heypengubot on August 13, 2026, marking the latest expansion of the Pudgy Penguins ecosystem.

Pengubot, a tool designed for community interaction and engagement, now operates on Base, which offers lower transaction fees and faster settlement compared to Ethereum mainnet. The move aligns with Pudgy Penguins' broader strategy of extending its brand presence across multiple blockchain networks, following its earlier launch of the PENGU token on Solana.

Pudgy Penguins, originally an 8,888-piece NFT collection on Ethereum, has evolved into a global consumer brand under the stewardship of Igloo Inc. The project has expanded into physical retail, with toys sold at major retailers, and continues to build digital infrastructure like Pengubot. The integration with Base opens up new possibilities for lower-cost interactions and could attract a wider user base to the project's companion tools.

No further details on specific Pengubot features or functionality on Base were provided in the announcement.
