Frequently asked questions

Your own page with your links, your picture and a tip button for Pepecoin (PEP). Fans scan a QR code or tap a button and send PEP straight to your wallet. Think of it like a link-in-bio page that also gets you paid.

Yes. Creating a page is free and we don’t take a cut of your tips. The only cost is the tiny Pepecoin network fee, and the person sending the tip pays it.

No. You don’t need a real name, an ID or a bank account. Email is optional too: you can sign up with just a name and a password. If you add an email, it’s only used to help you get back in if you forget your password, and it’s never shown on your page.

Just a Pepecoin address to receive tips. You get one from a wallet app, for example Coinomi on your phone: add Pepecoin (PEP), tap “Receive” and copy the address that starts with a P. Paste it under “My page → Profile”.

About a minute. Pick your name, set a password, add your Pepecoin address. Pictures, links and colours can come later.

Never. Every tip goes directly from the sender’s wallet to your own address on the blockchain. This site never touches, stores or forwards any Pepecoin, so there’s nothing to withdraw and nothing we could freeze.

Usually within a few minutes. A tip shows up on your page as soon as the network has confirmed it.

Those last decimal places are a small fingerprint. They tell us which payment belongs to which name and message, so the tip can show up on the page with the right note. Please send exactly the amount shown.

No. Crypto payments can’t be reversed, by us or anyone else. Double-check the amount before you send.

We don’t ask for your identity, and supporters can tip without leaving a name. But keep in mind that Pepecoin, like most cryptocurrencies, runs on a public blockchain: anyone who knows an address can see the payments to it. So it’s anonymous towards us and private if you keep your wallet separate from your real identity, but it isn’t invisible. Using a fresh receiving address just for your page helps.

That depends on where you live. In many countries, crypto income can be taxable. We can’t give tax advice, so please check your local rules.

Yes, under “My page → Profile”. Old links keep redirecting to your page, so nothing you’ve already shared breaks.

Your page works and can be shared right away. To keep out spam and scams, an admin takes a quick look before a page appears in Explore and in the creator gallery.

The blue verified badge means an admin has checked that the page really belongs to the person or project it claims to be. The green Supporter badge means the person has paid a project fee and helps pay for this site.

Yes. Under “My page → Share & embed” you’ll find a button with a pop-up, a tip card, a badge for forums and email signatures, and a banner for your GitHub README. Copy the code and paste it where you want it.

Yes. Under “My page → Campaigns” you set a title and a goal in PEP, and a progress bar appears on your page. Use a separate address for each campaign to count every payment from the start.

If you added an email, or if you can prove the page is yours, message the admins on Discord and they’ll reset it. Since we don’t send emails, there’s no automatic reset link.

Under “My page → Account”. Your page, links and campaigns are deleted. The Pepecoin on your address stays yours, of course.

A way for the community to fund ideas that move Pepecoin forward, like events, apps, merch or videos. You pitch a project, it gets its own page with a goal and a deadline, and backers send PEP straight to the project’s address. There’s no vote: once your project is live, you can start collecting.

Create a free, anonymous account (no email needed), then go to Pitch a project. Describe your idea, set a goal in PEP, pick a funding period and add a fresh Pepecoin address just for this project.

Each project costs a one-time fee of 500 PEP. It keeps spam bots and fake pitches out, and it helps pay for running this site (hosting, domain, development). The fee isn’t refunded if you end your project early or it gets stopped for breaking the rules.

Anyone who has paid the pitch fee helps pay for this site, so their page gets a green Supporter badge. It’s different from the blue verified badge: blue means an admin checked that a page really belongs to who it claims to be. Green means the person supports the site. It says nothing about whether a project is trustworthy.

As soon as your fee payment has been confirmed on the blockchain, usually within a few minutes. You can close the payment page and come back later: your pitch stays saved under “My projects”.

Just as anonymous as any Pepecoin payment. The blockchain is public, so anyone can see that an address sent the fee, but not who is behind it, unless you link your name to that address somewhere else.

Every contribution goes straight to the project’s address, so the PEP raised stays with the project even if the goal isn’t reached. There are no automatic refunds, because we never hold any money.

Not before they go live. Admins stop projects that are reported as scams, spam or offensive. That’s not a guarantee: read the description, look at who’s behind it and the discussion link, and only back projects you trust.

Printable stickers with a QR code that lead curious people to Pepecoin, or straight to your own tip page. You can download them as a ready-to-print PDF.

A card with a Pepecoin address and its private key, so you can give real PEP as a gift. Whoever holds the card can take the coins.

The keys are created in your browser and never leave your device. Still, use it at your own risk: test with one card and a small amount first, and keep your seed phrase offline and away from the cards.

A Ribbit is the smallest unit of a Pepecoin.

0.00000001 PEP = 1 Ribbit

Pepecoin addresses start with a P. Here are a few examples:

Please do not send Pepecoin to these addresses.

The Ᵽ character (also known as “P with stroke”) is the official currency symbol for Pepecoin.

Pepecoin was created by two developers, Dogecoin shibes and brothers, Zordiak and Karzo.

Since launch, many members of the community have stepped up to join the team and help make the vision for Pepecoin a reality.

Pepecoin is truly a community cryptocurrency. We wouldn’t be where we are without the community.

There are two basic types of cryptocurrencies: coins and tokens. Tokens exist as smart contracts on a parent network like Ethereum or Solana. Coins, on the other hand, have their own blockchain. Some blockchains use Proof-of-Work (e.g. Bitcoin), while others use Proof-of-Stake (e.g. Ethereum). Ethereum is a coin; Tether is a token created via a smart contract on Ethereum.

Pepecoin is a coin with its own blockchain. It uses Proof-of-Work, just like Bitcoin. You can think of Pepecoin as “Bitcoin with a frog logo”.

There are many Pepe cryptocurrencies, and nearly all of them are tokens. While some of these tokens have seen massive success, a truly great cryptocurrency needs its own blockchain. Quite simply, Pepecoin was created because we have a much bigger vision for a Pepe cryptocurrency, one that can only be achieved with Pepe on his own blockchain.

We believe cryptocurrencies should be more than a price on a chart. Pepecoin transaction fees are extremely low, often fractions of a penny. That makes it a great choice for sending money to friends and family, donating to your favourite charity or buying a cup of coffee.

Twitch streamers, YouTubers, influencers and anyone with a social media following can accept Pepecoin from anyone, all over the world, simply by sharing their address with their followers.

We think that’s pretty cool.

Pepecoin was fairly launched on January 30, 2024.

No. Pepecoin is trustless: no one owns or controls it. It is completely decentralised, just like Bitcoin.

Yes.

All Pepecoin Core releases are cryptographically proven to be built from source. Before each release, the Pepecoin Core binaries are built deterministically by multiple developers from the community. The binaries are then “fingerprinted” with a hash function, and the fingerprints from each developer are compared to make sure they match. If a developer changed even a single character of the code, their fingerprint wouldn’t match the others. Pepecoin Core is only released once all fingerprints match.

This process ensures nothing has been tampered with and that the next release is safe to download and install.

Each block rewards miners with new Pepecoin. Here are all the block rewards:

After block 600,000, the block reward stays at 10,000 Pepecoin forever. This ensures that miners have a reliable stream of coins to mine.

It’s easier than ever to create a token these days. Anyone can make a logo and launch one.

Like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, Pepecoin isn’t compatible with Web3 services.

There is no contract address for Pepecoin. It runs on its own blockchain.

No. Pepecoin was created to be the best option for a Pepe cryptocurrency. It was fairly launched, has extremely low fees, can be merge-mined with Litecoin and Dogecoin, and runs on its own blockchain.

No. Pepecoin is not affiliated with any other Pepe cryptocurrency. It was fairly launched on January 30, 2024.

Check the address. It should start with the letter P. If your address starts with 0x, it’s not Pepecoin.

Pepecoin doesn’t use smart contracts. If what you bought has a contract address, it’s not Pepecoin.

The Doge meme has a single coin and community: r/Dogecoin. We believe the Pepe meme should also have a single coin and community: r/Pepecoin. From the start, we set out to build the best coin possible and bring everyone together into one massive community for Pepe.

Come join the community. We’d love to meet you!

Pepecoin is a code fork of Dogecoin. This means the Dogecoin code was used as a starting point. Dogecoin was chosen for its long-standing reliability, merged-mining support, developer familiarity and existing ecosystem.

No. A hard fork usually happens when holders of an existing cryptocurrency automatically receive the same balance in a new, separate cryptocurrency. Bitcoin Cash, for example, was created this way: Bitcoin holders received an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash. That doesn’t apply to Pepecoin. It is not a hard fork of Dogecoin.

No. Pepecoin is not a revived chain. It’s a brand-new chain, launched at block height 0.

Open the page, scroll down and use “Report this page”. Admins review every report and suspend pages that scam people or impersonate someone.

Never. Nobody from this site, the admins or the DAO will ever ask for them. Anyone who does is trying to steal your coins.
