End-of-Month Ecosystem Update: PumpPad Progress, Old Layer 2 token liquidity framework, PEPU Claim deadline, and HoRa × Pepu Christmas Giveaway

As the year draws to a close, this end-of-month update outlines the latest developments across the Pepu ecosystem. The focus this month is on PumpPad improvements, outstanding technical work, the L2 liquidity compensation framework, PEPU Claim deadline, and a seasonal community initiative in collaboration with HoRa.


PumpPad Updates

PumpPad continues to be refined as the primary launch and bonding layer within the Pepu ecosystem. Several meaningful upgrades have now been implemented.

Updated Bonding Requirement

Bonding now requires 3,000,000 $PEPU, reinforcing alignment with long-term ecosystem participation and discouraging short-term, low-commitment launches.

Interface Stability Improvements

The previously reported flickering and instability affecting the top and bottom banners has been fully resolved. The interface now renders smoothly and consistently.

Unique Token Names Enforced

All new tokens launched via PumpPad must now have unique names. Duplicate token names are no longer permitted, improving discoverability, reducing user confusion, and strengthening on-chain clarity.

Improved MAX Function

Clicking MAX now automatically accounts for gas and dust, removing the need for users to manually subtract balances before confirming transactions.


Bug Fixes and Known Issues

Some issues remain under active development.

L2 Pepu Liquidity Compensation

As previously communicated, the legacy PEPU L2 snapshot has fully re-synced, restoring data accuracy and long-term integrity across the ecosystem. To preserve correctness and avoid distribution errors, the originally planned November/December update was postponed while final validation checks were completed.

With these checks now concluded, the L2 Liquidity Compensation rollout is scheduled for early Q1 2026, with the confirmed date to be communicated within the first two weeks of January.

After extensive review, it became clear that re-seeding projects was not the optimal path forward. Re-seeding would have resulted in duplicated liquidity, incentivized users to race to the bottom by selling legacy tokens to acquire $PEPU, and introduced unnecessary market distortion.

The compensation approach ultimately adopted was selected in the best long-term interest of the community, prioritizing fairness, market stability, and ecosystem integrity.


Snapshot & Eligibility

  • Eligibility is based on the top-10 most liquid tokens, ranked by WPEPU pool depth.

  • Snapshot taken at block #6,203,280
    (2025-04-24 23:59:59 UTC)

In addition to the top-10 most liquid tokens, the snapshot also includes projects that:
