Lol I hear ya I think it’s a little bit more than your IDGAF portfolio you believe in it in some sort of way if you didn’t you would buy something stupid like penguins or something crazy lol I’m with you I believe in it I also believe in PEPE those two are my same coins that I hold it’s in my ID GAF cause I kind of believe in them. I believed in BONK at one point I swing traded it and got 500 million free coins stuck on the Ledger with my other crypto.

Nah, not this one. The OP is just confused because there are over 30 different PEPE cryptocurrencies. It's a legitimate question?

The official Pepecoin ticker is **$PEP** (available on **Kraken**). If you're investing in Pepecoin, make sure you own the native **Layer 1 blockchain coin — $PEP**, not a PEPE token. Value (market cap) could shift from PEPE tokens to the coin as adoption grows.

Yep. The main difference comes down to the underlying architecture. $PEPE is an Ethereum ERC-20 token, meaning it relies on Ethereum for security and network fees, while $PEP operates as its own independent Layer 1 PoW blockchain.
Pepe meme projects are now being built across many different ecosystems, each with different technical approaches and trade-offs.

Doge has its own chain. PEPE (the famous meme token) is basically a smart contract running on Ethereum

I see. But what I don't get is why people are confused about Pepe projects. From what I understand, $PEPE is actually an official Layer-1 coin with its own dedicated blockchain, just like Bitcoin. All those other versions running on Ethereum or Solana are just the standard tokens. So the original Pepe is definitely a coin, right?

There are two. $PEPE is an Ethereum ERC-20 token that requires ETH for network fees, whereas $PEP is an independent Layer 1 blockchain based on PoW.
