# Pingu Exchange

> Concentrated liquidity perpetuals DEX on Monad

<Info>
  **Type:** Concentrated Liquidity DEX | **Docs:** [pingu.exchange](https://pingu.exchange)
</Info>

## Overview

Pingu Exchange is a concentrated liquidity perpetuals venue on Monad. It uses a **DataStore + Positions** contract architecture similar to GMX V2, where a central `DataStore` holds all market configuration and position state, and a separate `Positions` contract manages individual trader positions.

The Rampart reads Pingu's position count and data store address to provide availability checks and basic market intelligence.

## Types

```typescript theme={null}
type PinguStats = {
  positionCount: number        // total open positions across all markets
  dataStoreAddress: string     // DataStore contract address
  protocol: 'pingu'
}
```

## Functions

### getPinguStats()

Returns the current stats for Pingu Exchange including position count and contract address.

```typescript theme={null}
import { Rampart } from 'rampart-monad'

const sdk = new Rampart()
const stats = await sdk.getPinguStats()
// → PinguStats

console.log(`Pingu open positions: ${stats.positionCount}`)
console.log(`DataStore: ${stats.dataStoreAddress}`)
```

### isPinguAvailable()

Performs a lightweight liveness check against the Pingu DataStore contract. Returns `true` if the contract is reachable and responding.

```typescript theme={null}
const available = await sdk.isPinguAvailable()
// → boolean

if (available) {
  console.log('Pingu Exchange is live')
} else {
  console.log('Pingu Exchange is unavailable')
}
```
