What is Pepe (PEPE)?
Pepe (PEPE)—commonly searched as "Pepe coin"—is a meme coin on Ethereum inspired by the Pepe the Frog internet meme. It launched quietly in mid-April 2023 with no presale, no team tokens, and no advance announcement. The creators are anonymous and have never been publicly identified. The token's contract has been permanently locked, which means nobody—including the original creators—can change its rules or create more tokens. The current Pepe coin price is $0.00000264, with a 24-hour trading volume of $82,365,592.
PEPE had no presale, no team allocation, and no venture capital round. The full supply was split two ways at launch: the vast majority (93.1%) went directly into a public trading pool, and the keys controlling that pool were permanently destroyed to prevent a liquidity drain. A smaller reserve (6.9%) sits in a wallet that requires multiple signers to authorize any transfer, earmarked for exchange listings and crosschain access. Buying and selling PEPE doesn't trigger any automatic tax or deduction—there are no fees built into the contract.
Multiple tokens use similar names and Pepe-themed branding. As with any token, always verify the contract address before transacting. If a token doesn't match this address exactly, it isn't PEPE.
