After raising a record $74 million in Web3’s most talked about meme coin presale, Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) is set to launch on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) at 2PM UTC tomorrow, December 10.
$PEPU will first land on Uniswap, the industry’s biggest DEX, and the team also has lined up top-tier centralized exchange (CEX) listings in the near-future.
Although the project remains tight-lipped about which CEXs are in its crosshairs, it’s safe to assume they’re industry titans.
Based on the previous successes of meme coins in the Pepe family, the Pepe Unchained launch is primed to blow, with a possible upside potential of a sweltering 100X or 200X performance for those who buy to hold.
Pepe Unchained’s presale launched at the end of June this year, riding the crest of a tsunami-sized wave of hype over the $PEPU token and its proprietary Layer 2 blockchain ecosystem built atop Ethereum, the most commercially important protocol outside of Bitcoin.
Meme fans stockpiled the token like no other meme coin before, in order to take advantage of $PEPU’s virtually unheard-of staking rewards over the presale period.
Equally compelling incentives include lower transaction fees, 100 times faster speeds than Ethereum, and the promise of a thriving new ecosystem that will transcend anything previously offered by meme coins – including highly functional ones like the privacy-friendly Shiba Inu ($SHIB) or the trading bot Floki ($FLOKI).
$PEPU’s phenomenal success prompts certain questions: What does it take to make a successful meme coin going into 2025? And can Pepe Unchained even still be regarded as a meme coin? Or is it a highly functional new Layer 2 blockchain protocol that taps the viral appeal of meme coins?
Well, it’s complicated… You see, unlike his ERC-20 inspiration, Pepe, $PEPU resists easy categorization.
Pepe Unchained: The Showdown With OG Pepe Begins
The original Pepe (ticker: $PEPE) is the third-biggest meme coin in crypto with a $11.2 billion market cap.
His famous avatar, which is derived from a character in Max Furie’s webcoming Boy’s Club, was a global sensation before crypto. He was later spotted in the 2019–2020 Hong Kong protests as a symbol of resistance against the perceived threat of mainland China’s intervention in Hong Kong’s affairs.
Tokens from Boy’s Club capitalize nearly a tenth of crypto’s lucrative $144 billion meme coin sector. Pepe, alongside Brett ($BRETT) and Pepe Coin ($PEPECOIN), have delivered profits of anywhere between 10X and 100X for their diamond-handed holders.
However, the Boy’s Club family of meme coins has lacked functionality. Until now.
You see, Pepe Unchained is more of an ecosystem than a meme coin made purely for speculation. Central to the project is of course its very own proprietary Layer 2 blockchain. This will house a DEX that facilitates cheap swaps between $PEPU and supported tokens.
Additionally, Pepe Unchained features a dedicated block explorer to see all transactions on the Layer 2, along with a bridge for instant and low-cost bridging between Pepe Unchained and Ethereum’s Layer 1.
Finally, Pepe Unchained is aiming for longevity. The team will achieve this through the Pepe Foundation, which will fund community-verified projects with a developers’ grant, in order to build “an entire ecosystem with the best developers in the space contributing,” according to the tweeted announcement.
The project’s smart contract is fully audited by SolidProof and $PEPU can be easily bought with ETH, USDT or bank card.
