About

What is PEPE?

PEPE is a memecoin on the Ethereum blockchain, inspired by the famous "Pepe the Frog" internet meme created by Matt Furie. Launched in April 2023, PEPE quickly became one of the largest memecoins by market cap, driven purely by community enthusiasm and meme culture.

Unlike utility tokens, PEPE has no roadmap, no intrinsic value, and no promises. It exists purely as a speculative asset and cultural phenomenon. The token launched with a supply of 420.69 trillion — a nod to cannabis and meme culture.

Risk Warning

PEPE is a memecoin with no underlying utility or intrinsic value. It is an extremely high-risk, speculative asset that can lose 90%+ of its value in days. The token has no development team making promises, no roadmap, and exists purely as a cultural/speculative phenomenon.

Never invest more than you can afford to lose completely. Memecoins are not suitable for most investors.
