What Is Pepe (PEPE)?
The PEPE coin is a meme coin built upon the legacy of Pepe the Frog, a popular internet character. The cryptocurrency draws on the lighthearted and humorous nature of the meme to create a unique and engaging digital asset.
Built on the Ethereum blockchain, the project seeks to leverage the success of meme coins, such as Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, and aims to become a leading meme-based cryptocurrency. PEPE aims to attract the crypto community by implementing a no-tax policy, a redistribution system that benefits long-term stakers, and a burning mechanism to preserve the scarcity of PEPE coin.
