    Pepe (PEPE) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule

    The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Pepe (PEPE) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence PEPE price performance.

    Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.

    Tokenomics & Utility

    Pepe tokenomics at a glance

    • Total supply: 420,690,000,000,000 PEPE (420.69 trillion).
    • No presale, no token taxes, LP burned, contract renounced.
    • Launch allocation commonly summarized as ~93.1% to Uniswap liquidity and ~6.9% held for centralized‑exchange listings/bridges in multisig wallets.
      These points are repeated across official and exchange research pages. (pepe.vip)

    The design is intentionally simple: there are no built‑in rewards, reflections, or scheduled burns. The supply is fixed; there is no ongoing minting. Over time, top holder concentration can change as tokens move through exchanges and wallets. Exchange research has noted that large addresses (including exchanges) hold a noticeable share of supply, which is typical for popular ERC‑20 tokens. (mexc.com)

    What the token is used for

    PEPE is primarily used for trading, collecting, and participating in meme culture on‑chain. Because it is an ERC‑20, it plugs into Ethereum DeFi rails: liquidity pools on DEXs, cross‑chain bridges, and experimental community projects that may accept or wrap PEPE. Officially, however, the project positions PEPE as a culture coin rather than a utility or governance token. (pepe.vip)

    Assumptions

    • Genesis date set to 2023-04-14 (contract verification date on Etherscan); initial liquidity cliff dated at contract verification; trading commenced mid-April 2023.

      Etherscan shows contract source verified on 2023-04-14; multiple listings and launch references cite mid-April TGE.

    • Pre-incident (Apr 17–Aug 24, 2023) CEX/bridge distributions modeled linearly.

      Official communications indicate ~26T remained in multisig before Aug 24; therefore ~3.02761T had already been used for listings/bridges. Exact day-by-day usage not disclosed, so a linear monthly schedule is used for charting.

    • Burn events are excluded from ‘release to circulation’ unlocks.

      On 2023-10-24, 6.9T PEPE were burned from the multisig, which reduces supply rather than releasing tokens into circulation; therefore modeled as no release in this chart.

    • No ongoing issuance (no PoW/PoS/staking/inflation) for PEPE.

      PEPE is an ERC-20 with fixed supply; contract ownership renounced; no protocol-level emissions.

    Allocations

    How certain we are about this information
    391,662,390,000,000 tokens
    Cliff: Apr 14, 2023 — NaN% of allocation
    Entire initial liquidity allocation was sent to the Uniswap pool at launch; LP tokens burned; contract ownership renounced (no presale, no taxes).
    Team Reserve: CEX Listings, Bridges, and Liquidity (multisig distributions that entered circulation) 4.62%
    75%

    19,446,010,000,000 tokens
    Linear vesting: Apr 17, 2023 - Aug 24, 2023 (monthly)
    Estimated distributions from the 6.9% reserve used for early CEX listings/bridges before the Aug 24, 2023 multisig incident. Amount inferred as the difference between original 6.9% (29.02761T) and the 26T reported remaining in the multisig prior to the incident.
    Cliff: Aug 24, 2023 — NaN% of allocation
    Approximately 16T PEPE transferred from the multisig to exchanges during the Aug 24, 2023 incident and sold, moving these tokens into circulation.
    Cliff: Nov 20, 2023 — NaN% of allocation
    Additional deposit of ~418.4B PEPE from team wallet to Binance, increasing circulating supply.
