The presale for Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), a new Pepe-themed meme coin operating on its own Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, has surpassed an impressive milestone by raising $15 million.
Launched this summer, Pepe Unchained generated significant excitement among meme coin enthusiasts, drawn by its enticing staking rewards, reduced transaction fees, and speeds 100 times faster than other leading ERC-20 meme coins.
With just over a day left to purchase $PEPU at the current presale price of $0.00985, the opportunity to buy at this rate is closing. The next round will see the price increase to $0.00986, making early buyers poised for greater rewards.
Ecosystem Roadmap and Development
The Pepe Unchained team recently released an extensive roadmap on X, outlining plans for a custom Layer 2 decentralized exchange (DEX). This DEX will enable low-cost token swaps between $PEPU and other supported tokens. Additionally, the Pepe Foundation aims to fund a robust ecosystem with contributions from top developers in the crypto space.
The Layer 2 solution of Pepe Unchained will facilitate greater scalability and faster transactions, setting the project apart from competitors.
Upcoming Exchange Listings
Beyond the presale, $PEPU is expected to list on major exchanges, potentially driving further appreciation in value. For those interested, an investment of $100 can secure over 10,000 $PEPU tokens.
Pepe Unchained’s Unique Features
The original Pepe ($PEPE) meme coin, with a market cap of $3.5 billion, has a rich history dating back to its origins in the webcomic Boy’s Club by Max Furie. Pepe Unchained differentiates itself from its predecessors with unique features designed to encourage long-term holding (HODLing).
Unlike earlier Pepe coins that spiked in price and were often sold quickly, Pepe Unchained is structured for sustained growth and rewards.
Pepe Unchained’s Layer 2 Capabilities and Tokenomics
As the first Pepe coin to operate on its proprietary Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, Pepe Unchained offers enhanced speed and lower costs. While Ethereum processes around 15 transactions per second (tps), Layer 2 solutions like Pepe Unchained significantly boost transaction efficiency.
Layer 2 protocols process transactions off-chain before recording them on Ethereum’s main blockchain, reducing congestion and fees. Notably, Pepe Unchained offers stakers an impressive 139% APY, far surpassing other Layer 1 meme coins.
The project includes a block explorer for transaction transparency and seamless bridging between Pepe Unchained and Ethereum’s Layer 1.
Token Distribution and Supply
Out of 8 billion $PEPU tokens, 3.2 billion are allocated to the presale. Staking accounts for 30% of the supply, with 10% earmarked for marketing. The remaining tokens are distributed between DEX liquidity, project development, and the Layer 2 treasury.
