Pepe Unchained ($PEPU), one of the year’s biggest crypto presales, has just hit a major milestone by surprassing $20 million in funding.
The team has released major developments regarding the project’s future and developer grants opportunity to celebrate this achievement.
Pepe Unchained is the world’s first meme coin with its own blockchain. They’re creating an Ethereum layer 2 network as a new home for meme coins that will be much faster and cheaper than the Ethereum main network.
The Pepe Unchained presale has now reached new heights in terms of attention.
With over $20 million raised, it’s now one of the most successful ICOs of 2024.
Investors have been putting in about $1m per week over the past couple of months, with FOMO rising as the token’s price rises throughout the various presale stages.
The current Pepe Unchained presale price is $0.0103, but this will rise in just over one day.
Investors can purchase the presale using ETH, USDT, BNB, and bank card.
There is also the option to stake tokens after participating in the presale. The staking feature is live and currently offers a 110% APY.
As investors pile into the presale, the project’s social media accounts are growing fast.
For example, its X account has just crossed the revered 50K follower mark. Meanwhile, the project’s Telegram channel has just hit 10K members.
Pepe Unchained’s social media stats are closing the gap on some of the world’s largest meme coins. For example, Mog Coin, which is worth $800 million, has 85K followers on X.
Pepe Unchained team reveals new ecosystem portal and launches developer grants
Investors can get a sneak peek into what it’ll be like to use the ‘Pepe Chain’ with the project’s newly launched ecosystem portal page.
The team will add new features to the page as they launch, making it easy for users to access all the ecosystem mechanisms from a single hub.
According to its website, the Pepe Chain will include a decentralized exchange, an Ethereum bridge, and a block explorer. It also revealed that four new features are launching soon.
The team also announce the start of the much-awaited developer grants program.
It’s called Pepe Frens With Benefits, and it will pay blockchain builders to launch applications and tokens inside the Pepe Unchained ecosystem.
This is a great way of fast-tracking ecosystem growth and ensuring the long-term success of the Pepe Chain.
Developers will submit their application forms, which the Pepe Council will review and contact successful applicants. Then, developers will receive their grants and can start building.
The concept has generated massive excitement. Not just investors, but also smart money traders are being drawn to the project.
Analyst ClayBro has Pepe Unchained high on his list of meme coins that could explode. He nodded to the bullish meme coin environment, which he believes positions $PEPU for rapid growth.
Pepe Unchained could be huge if the “meme coin supercycle” is really here
Meme coins have continually outperformed other cryptos in bullish periods this year, a phenomenon that coined the term “meme coin supercycle.”
According to analysts like Murad Mahmudov, speculation has always been the primary driver of altcoin prices – altcoins did not warrant sky-high valuations based on utility.
Murad argues that people are waking up to this fact, which is why meme coins (the unapologetically speculative crypto assets) are attracting the most investment.
Murad and many other experts believe that meme coins will continue to outperform throughout this market cycle and that the gains witnessed in 2025 will be unlike anything we’ve seen before.
If this does occur, then the first meme coin with its own blockchain, Pepe Unchained, could be in for an exciting ride next year.
The Pepe Unchained community has already soared to over 50K people, with hopes high that this could be one of the most successful meme coin launches in recent memory.
