PEPE coin, a popular ERC-20 meme token on Ethereum, launched in April 2023 with a fixed maximum and total supply of 420,690,000,000,000 tokens, reflecting its meme-inspired theme. The developers burned over 90% of the initial supply by sending it to dead wallets and renounced contract ownership to promote decentralization, though burns don't alter the hardcoded max supply. Ongoing community burns, like 6.9 trillion tokens in December 2024, have gradually reduced the circulating supply to around 413.77 trillion as of early 2026.
Key Supply Events
Initial Burn (April 2023): 50% (210 trillion tokens) removed from circulation to create scarcity.
LP Token Burn: 93% of supply sent to liquidity pools, with LP tokens burned.
Recent Burns: Additional reductions, including 6.9T in late 2024, lowering circulating supply below total.
Current Status
Circulating supply stands at approximately 413.77 trillion PEPE, with total supply now effectively lower due to burns but max supply unchanged at 420.69 trillion. This deflationary mechanism aims to support value through scarcity amid high trading volume.
