Peanut the Squirrel

Peanut was a real squirrel rescued and raised for seven years by Mark Longo in upstate New York. In October 2024, New York State authorities seized Peanut and euthanized him for rabies testing. The internet went nuclear. Within 48 hours, $PNUT was a top-trending memecoin and a political flashpoint.

Peanut never asked to be on-chain. The trenches put him there anyway, and they will not forget.
