Season V of the Pepu Project Voting has officially wrapped up, and it was our biggest season yet! From December 1 to December 31, 2025, the Pepu community pushed participation to new records. With more projects, more votes, and nonstop activity, the ecosystem has never been more vibrant.

And the results are in… 🏆

Votes: 810

Yashix takes the crown in Season V, continuing its steady rise as one of the strongest long-term plays on Pepu L2. This month was defined by aggressive market action, featuring two major buybacks (Buyback #9 and #10).

The team converted profits into strength by buying back over 2.19M tokens, burning more than 1.09M and sending the remainder to the treasury. With tens of millions of tokens now burned cumulatively, Yashix is effectively putting long-term deflation in motion. The roadmap remains the priority, with a focus on sustainable growth and utility-first execution.

Pepu Bank follows closely in second, further solidifying its role as the central hub for Pepu L2. The headline of the month was the relaunch of SuperBridge v2, which is now open to all users—not just holders. The upgrade features a streamlined UI and enhanced flexibility, including support for choosing different L1 wallets.

Beyond the bridge, the team shipped a massive wave of infrastructure upgrades:

• Analytics: Time-filtered BubbleMaps and improved token tables.

• Trading: Redesigned swap interfaces, limit orders, and a reworked Trading Vault page.

• Recognition: Pepu Bank was officially named a Round 2 FwB Grant winner, a major signal of ecosystem validation.

Votes: 796

In an incredibly tight race, Pepu Vault secured third place, closing out 2025 with a powerful momentum. The project distributed millions of PEPU to the community and launched a new investment cycle with CHAD as a reward partner—including a 10M CHAD distribution for loyal holders.

Like Pepu Bank, Pepu Vault was announced as a Round 2 FwB Grant winner, joining the ranks of top-tier projects like TOSH and HoRa. Looking ahead to February 2026, the Vault is preparing to expand its capital deployment to Base and Ethereum L1, unlocking diversified yield strategies while keeping Pepe Unchained as its primary investment hub.

• Top Performer: Legendary Bobby with 487 votes (up from 238).

• Top Newcomer: Nexaris (NXS) with 119 votes (first appearance on 2025-12-07).

Season V delivered record-breaking participation and one of the closest podium races in our history. Congratulations to Yashix, Pepu Bank, and Pepu Vault, and a huge thank you to every project and voter who contributed to this historic month.

Don't forget that advertising slots on the Pepu VoteBot are now live! Every HoRa token used for ads is locked for five years via ToshLock, ensuring that ecosystem growth directly supports long-term supply reduction.

Projects can now purchase advertising slots directly through the Pepu VoteBot. These placements can be booked via holderradar.com/ads.

When projects acquire HoRa tokens for advertising purposes, the purchased HoRa is permanently locked for five years using ToshLock. This mechanism introduces long-term supply reduction pressure and ensures that advertising demand directly benefits long-term holders and the broader Pepu L2 ecosystem.
