The KENDU Monthly · No. 27Kendu Spice starts buying KENDU

May 2026

At the end of May 2026, 63.9% of the KENDU in wallets and treasuries had sat for over a year, and on average it had sat 1.23 years. 14,170 wallets held KENDU on Ethereum. On Uniswap, 145 wallets bought and 154 sold during the month.

On-chain data to 31 May 2026.

What holders built in May

Proof on-chain

Kendu Spice (thespiceguy.eth): 43M more KENDU in its wallet at the end of May than at the end of Apr, 49M in all.

Kendu Brilliance (kendubrilliance.eth): no change in May, 132M KENDU in its wallet.

This site’s treasury got its first KENDU in May: 38M at the end of the month.

The wallets and what each project says it gives back are on the Projects page.

How it’s counted
The Ethereum wallets that projects list on the Projects page, month end against month end, from the same replay of every transfer. A rise means more KENDU arrived than left; the chain doesn’t say from where. Burns of 1M+ from these wallets are listed one by one.

The last three months

The three months to the end of May 2026

Better for holders

  • more of the KENDU in wallets and treasuries has sat a year
  • KENDU is being held longer
  • fewer wallets are selling on Uniswap

The other way

  • fewer wallets hold KENDU
  • half the KENDU sits in fewer wallets (more concentrated)
  • fewer wallets are buying on Uniswap
  • fewer buyers are on a streak

the KENDU in wallets and treasuries, weighted by amount

1.19 years at the end of Apr · 237 days a year earlier

the longest at a month end so far

63.9% of the KENDU in wallets and treasuries had not moved for over a year at the end of May: 542B of 849B.

On average, the KENDU in wallets and treasuries had sat in its wallet 1.23 years (450 days) at the end of May, weighted by amount.

How it’s counted
Per token: a wallet’s oldest KENDU leaves first, and KENDU arriving in a wallet starts at zero, even from the same owner.

133 at the end of Apr · 143 a year earlier

14,170 wallets held KENDU on Ethereum at the end of May, 67 wallets fewer than at the end of Apr.

Half of the KENDU in holder wallets sat in 134 wallets.

How it’s counted
Holder wallets only: no pools, bridge, exchanges, treasuries or the burn address. One person can own several wallets.

KENDU sold on Uniswap

60.48B

all wallets together

29.48B in Apr · 122B a year earlier

145 wallets bought KENDU on Uniswap in May and 154 sold, each wallet counted once.

55.30B KENDU was bought and 60.48B sold: 5.18B more sold than bought.

How it’s counted
KENDU leaving a Uniswap pool to a wallet is a buy, a wallet sending KENDU to a pool a sell; adding liquidity also counts as a sell, removing it as a buy.

How old the sold KENDU was

  • Sat under 30 days62.76B77.9% of it
  • Sat 30 days to 6 months7.95B9.9% of it
  • Sat 6 to 12 months3.77B4.7% of it
  • Sat 1 to 2 years5.03B6.2% of it
  • Sat over 2 years1.02B1.3% of it

80.54B KENDU was sold straight from wallets in May: into a Uniswap pool, to an exchange or through a swap router. That counts more places than On Uniswap above, so the two totals differ.

77.9% of it had sat in its wallet under 30 days, 1.3% of it over 2 years.

7.5% of it had sat over a year; in Apr, 11.6% of what was sold had.

How it’s counted
Age is per wallet: KENDU moved to another wallet starts again at zero there, so a holder who moves wallets looks young.

Buyers on a streak

Buyers on a streak

71the other way for holders: falling for 7 months, from 158

a buy in 3+ months, at most 2 in a row without one

75 at the end of Apr · 228 a year earlier

the fewest at a month end since Jun 2024

71 buyers were on a buying streak at the end of May.

How it’s counted
A wallet (or wallets that move KENDU between them) with a buy in 3 or more months, never more than 2 months in a row without one; counted at each month end.

New buyers, and who stayed

New buyers

19

wallets whose first KENDU was bought this month, holding 1M+ at its end

14 in Apr

Of the 59 new buyers of Feb, 55 (93.2% of them) still held at least half of their KENDU at the end of May.

Of the 65 new buyers of Nov 2025, 36 (55.4% of them) still held at least half of their KENDU at the end of May.

Of the 302 new buyers of May 2025, 155 (51.3% of them) still held at least half of their KENDU at the end of May.

How it’s counted
A new buyer’s first KENDU was bought (on Uniswap, from an exchange or through a swap router) and the wallet held 1M+ at that month end. KENDU moved on to a wallet that looks like the same holder still counts.

Burns

No burns of 1M+ KENDU in May.

3.25B burned in all by the end of May, 0.33% of all 1 trillion KENDU.

How it’s counted
Burned = KENDU sent to 0x…dEaD, which nobody can move. Only burns of 1M+ KENDU are listed one by one.

Bridge

Locked in the bridge

63.14B

KENDU held by the Wormhole bridge on Ethereum for Solana and Base

60.73B at the end of Apr · 36.60B a year earlier

the most at a month end so far

19 wallets sent 9.43B KENDU to Solana and Base through the Wormhole bridge in May.

7.03B came back to 19 wallets on Ethereum.

How it’s counted
On Ethereum: KENDU sent into the bridge and released from it. Wallets on Solana and Base aren’t counted here.

A year on

Of the 9,156 wallets that held 1M+ KENDU at the end of May 2025, 6,526 (71.3% of them) held about the same at the end of May, within 5% of their bag.

The rest: 516 held more, by over 5% of their bag; 197 held less, by over 5% of it; 1,917 held under 1M.

1,109 wallets that held under 1M then held 1M+ at the end of May.

The 250 biggest holder wallets of May 2025 held 549B then and 377B at the end of May: 145 still held at least 95% of their bag, 78 held under 1M.

How it’s counted
Holder wallets only. A move to another wallet counts as leaving, even between wallets of the same owner, so these counts differ from the Overview’s, which counts a holder’s own wallets once.

Records and lows in May 2026

  • Held 1+ year: 63.9% of the KENDU in wallets and treasuries, the highest at a month end so far.
  • Average time held: 1.23 years, the longest at a month end so far.
  • Locked in the bridge: 63.14B KENDU, the most at a month end so far.
How it’s counted
Against every full month before this one since Mar 2024 (launch week left out). “Since” is the last month at least as high, or as low, when that was 6 or more months back. Green is better for holders, grey neither.
