An EVM-compatible blockchain tailored to the Pepe ecosystem, delivering low-fee, fast transactions with PEPU as the native gas for meme-centric dApps and trading.
Pepe Unchained is an EVM-compatible mainnet (chain ID 97741) that uses PEPU as the native gas token, built to deliver ultra-low-cost, fast transactions for the PEPE ecosystem. Primary use cases include bridging assets to/from Ethereum, high-volume memecoin trading, NFT minting, on-chain games, and DeFi/staking that benefit from quick finality and cheap gas. For benchmarking, check the network explorer for average gas cost (in PEPU), block time/speed, realized TPS, and current daily transaction/activity data.
Pepe Unchained is unique in that fees are denominated in PEPU and the chain is purpose-built for the PEPE community while retaining full EVM tooling compatibility (e.g., MetaMask, thirdweb, standard RPCs). Its dedicated bridge and appchain design prioritize low fees and fast settlement for meme-native workloads, and it’s live on mainnet with chain ID 97741 for straightforward integration. When comparing to other networks, focus on its live metrics—avg gas cost in PEPU, block speed, TPS, and on-chain activity—which are typically lower-cost and faster than L1 Ethereum but vary over time.
Pepe Unchained uses PEPU as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain PEPU by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
