Pudgy Penguins sits on top of the table at 4.8 million followers, and the way it gets there is instructive. The main project account anchors Instagram and TikTok with 2 million and 827,000 followers, respectively. Kind Pengu, the brand's animated character channel, adds another 1.2 million YouTube subscribers on top. Together they describe a publication, not a profile picture.

Chimpers is the more surprising entry. Nearly four years into its run as a 5,555-piece pixel-art collection, the project has built a 2.1 million TikTok following and 1.2 million on Instagram. It is the second-largest cross-platform footprint on the list, larger than Doodles, larger than Bored Ape Yacht Club. Most of that audience was built outside the crypto-Twitter feedback loop that the rest of the field has historically treated as the main stage.

Doodles holds the most balanced distribution. 559,000 on Twitter, 1.2 million on Instagram, 526,000 on YouTube. The team appears to have been deliberate about not over-indexing on any single platform. Bored Ape Yacht Club is the inverse. 1 million followers on Twitter, 477,000 on Instagram, almost no presence on TikTok or YouTube. The heritage NFT brand is heritage in the literal sense, anchored to the platform on which it was born.

Gigaverse and Claynosaurz arrive at roughly the same total, 1.1 million and 961,000, through different distributions. Gigaverse is concentrated in video, with 603,000 YouTube subscribers and 146,000 on TikTok, against 61,000 on Twitter. Claynosaurz inverts the shape: 417,000 on Instagram, smaller TikTok and YouTube footprints, modest Twitter. Same audience size. Different growth surface.

Good Vibes Club, the youngest project here, sits at 26,000. The seven projects together represent 14.5 million followers across five platforms. Pudgy Penguins alone accounts for nearly a third of that. Whether that concentration tightens or spreads over the next twelve months is the more interesting question.
