Understanding Pepecoin
A Ribbit is the smallest unit of Pepecoin:
- 0.00000001 Pepecoin = 1 Ribbit
Pepecoin addresses always begin with "P". Example addresses:

The Ᵽ symbol (P with Stroke) is Pepecoin’s official currency sign.
Origins and Development
Created by brothers Zordiak and Karzo (Dogecoin Shibes alumni), Pepecoin has evolved into a community-driven project. Unlike tokens on Ethereum or Solana, Pepecoin is a standalone coin with its own Proof-of-Work blockchain, akin to Bitcoin but with a frog-themed twist.
🔹 Why its own blockchain?
- Enables broader utility beyond smart contracts.
- Ensures decentralization and low fees (fractions of a penny per transaction).
