Pepe Unchained

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.&nbsp;  
$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.&nbsp;  
Although the project remains tight-lipped about which CEXs are in its crosshairs, it’s safe to assume they’re industry titans.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
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.

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).&nbsp;  
$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.&nbsp;  
<h2 id="h-pepe-unchained-is-about-to-face-off-with-og-pepe" class="wp-block-heading">Pepe Unchained: The Showdown With OG Pepe Begins</h2>  
The original Pepe (ticker: $PEPE) is the <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/meme-token" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">third-biggest meme coin</a> in crypto with a $11.2 billion market cap.&nbsp;  
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.&nbsp;  
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.&nbsp;  
However, the Boy’s Club family of meme coins has lacked functionality. Until now.&nbsp;  
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.&nbsp;  
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.&nbsp;  
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.&nbsp;
