Pepe

Pepe is a deflationary memecoin that operates on the Ethereum blockchain.

It was developed as a tribute to the Pepe the Frog internet meme, which gained popularity in the early 2000s. 

The project aims to leverage the popularity of meme coins and position itself as a notable meme-based digital asset.
