What Is PEPE Coin?
Origins & Concept
PEPE is a meme-based cryptocurrency launched in April 2023, inspired by the “Pepe the Frog” internet meme created by Matt Furie . The project was introduced with a lighthearted, speculative ethos—embracing meme culture while remaining explicitly utility-light and transparent about its purpose .
Core Features
Built as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain .
Launch was structured with no presale, no transaction taxes, and no centralized ownership—contract ownership was renounced, and liquidity provider tokens were burned to reinforce decentralization .
The token is deflationary, using mechanisms such as burning portions of the supply to enhance scarcity over time .
