Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) is a cryptocurrency token operating on the Solana blockchain. It was introduced in November 2024, inspired by a well-known social media squirrel named Peanut, who was euthanised by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The token's total supply is capped at 1,000,000,000 PNUT, with the contract address renounced and liquidity pool tokens burned, indicating a commitment to decentralisation and security.

PNUT serves as a community-driven token within the Solana ecosystem. It is primarily used for trading and investment purposes, allowing holders to participate in the token's market dynamics. The project also aims to honour the legacy of Peanut the Squirrel by supporting animal rescue and rehabilitation initiatives, reflecting its community's values and mission.
