Pepe

Pepe (PEPE) was launched April 14 2023.

Pepe (PEPE) was created by an anonymous team of developers as a meme coin inspired by Pepe the Frog, and the creator identities are not public.

Pepe exists on Ethereum as an ERC 20 token, so Pepe does not run a standalone blockchain and does not involve mining. Pepe relies on Ethereum proof of stake for transaction validation and finality. Transfers of PEPE follow the token standard, and transaction speed, fees, and block time are determined by Ethereum rather than by Pepe.

Pepe has several use cases within the cryptocurrency ecosystem:

• Microtransactions: Because fees are low on supported networks and confirmations are relatively fast, Pepe can be sent for tips and small payments, although it is mainly held and traded as a speculative meme coin with no built-in payment role.
• Charitable Donations: Members of the Pepe community sometimes organize fundraising campaigns in support of different charities and causes.
• Online Merchants: Some online shops and payment gateways may accept Pepe as a payment option, which widens usage in online commerce.
• Community Projects: The Pepe community runs initiatives that include education, events, and creative projects such as memes, gaming, and NFTs to grow reach and engagement.
