Pepe (PEPE) is a cryptocurrency that emerged in April 2023, drawing inspiration from the internet meme, Pepe the Frog. It operates on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token. The project aims to establish itself as a prominent meme coin, leveraging the cultural recognition of its namesake.
PEPE has a total supply of 420,690,000,000,000 tokens. A significant portion of this supply, 93.1%, was sent to a liquidity pool, with the remaining 6.9% held in a multi-sig wallet for future exchange listings, bridges, and liquidity pools. This distribution strategy is intended to ensure broad availability and facilitate trading.
The project emphasizes a community-driven approach, often relying on social media engagement and viral marketing to expand its reach. There is no formal roadmap or development team outlined, with its trajectory largely influenced by its user base and broader meme coin trends. The project's website encourages users to participate in its ecosystem.
