Atari Chain is looking to boost adoption of its native token ATRI with expansion to the Fantom blockchain.
- About 20% of the token’s liquidity has been moved to Fantom’s decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, allowing users to trade, stake and play games using ATRI, the company said Wednesday.
- The ERC-20 token has posed challenges for users of Atari tokens related to costs and speed associated with trading on the Ethereum blockchain.
- The proof-of-stake Fantom blockchain will allow trading of ATRI at higher speed with “super low transaction fees,” according to Atari Chain.
- Fantom recently became the latest blockchain to announce an incentive program, unveiling a fund worth over $300 million to attract DeFi platforms, part of a broader push from Ethereum competitors to attract liquidity and users.
- Atari Chain is a joint venture between the games company Atari and ICICB, a holding company.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
