About Peanut the Squirrel

Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) is a Solana meme coin inspired by the story of Peanut — a famous pet squirrel from New York whose owner Mark Longo raised from a baby after its mother was hit by a car. Peanut became a social media sensation before being seized and euthanized by New York state authorities in October 2024 over wildlife permit concerns. The resulting public outcry and viral news story spawned PNUT as a memorial meme coin, which surged to a multi-billion dollar market cap within days. PNUT benefited from Elon Musk posting about Peanut on X, directing massive attention to the token.
