PEPE

The Meme Maestro
"Memes are my melody — ride the vibe!"

🐸 Born as a joke in April 2023, PEPE became one of the most explosive meme coins in crypto history. No utility. No roadmap. Just pure community energy, viral hype, and 7,000% in 30 days. The internet's favorite frog now lives on Ethereum — and he's not leaving.

🐸 Core Technology — Ethereum ERC-20

ERC-20 Token Standard

▸Pure ERC-20 token on Ethereum — secured by ~1M validators with no developer backdoors
▸Contract ownership renounced at launch — immutable, no team control
▸No transaction taxes — just pure meme energy, zero friction to buy or sell

Deflationary Mechanics

▸6.9% of supply burned at launch — reducing available tokens from day one
▸Ongoing burns reduce total supply over time — making each PEPE slightly rarer
▸93.1% sent to liquidity pools at launch — no VC allocation, no team share

Layer-2 Access

▸Tradeable on Arbitrum, Base and other L2s — bringing fees down to ~$0.01–$0.10
▸Ethereum sharding roadmap could push throughput to 100,000+ TPS post-2025

🔐 Cryptography & Wallets

Security

▸ECDSA (secp256k1) for transaction signing — same as Ethereum
▸KECCAK-256 hashing — Ethereum blockchain integrity
▸Standard Ethereum addresses using 0x... format

Wallets

▸Hot: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet — standard Ethereum wallets work natively
▸Cold: Ledger Nano, Trezor for secure long-term storage
▸Trade on Uniswap, Binance, Coinbase — listed on major exchanges

🐸 Final Word from PEPE

They said I had no utility. I said utility is overrated. While everyone was writing whitepapers I turned a frog meme into a billion-dollar asset. The vibe IS the use case.
