The past few weeks have been full of momentum, progress, and steady community support. While some challenges remain, the ecosystem keeps moving forward with exciting developments across products, partnerships, and community initiatives.

At the beginning of September, we shared that resolving the L2 token issue was our top priority. While we anticipated closing this out quickly, the snapshot analysis has taken longer than expected.

The devs are actively working through this, and although timelines have shifted, clearing this properly is essential for long-term stability. We’ll keep you updated as progress continues.

We’re excited to announce that the Pepu Merch Store is now live!

The Pepu Genesis Collection features limited-edition, high quality, premium items designed with the culture of Pepe Unchained in mind. Each piece has been created with durability, detail, and style at its core.

All proceeds from the merch store will go directly toward future community seasonal rewards, starting this October.

Beginning in October, we’ll launch seasonal rewards to recognize and engage our community.

• Powered by Galxe: We’ll use Galxe.com as the backbone of our rewards program, not only to track points and seasonal quests, but also as a powerful tool for onboarding new members into the Pepu ecosystem.

• Growth Expectations: By leveraging Galxe, we anticipate generating 40–50k organic unique hits per day, exposing Pepe Unchained to a much wider audience.

• Rewards: Seasonal prizes and community benefits will be funded through merch proceeds and ecosystem growth.

More details on quests, points, and prizes will be shared soon.

We’ve updated PepuSwap, our native DEX, to now include bonded tokens. This upgrade improves trading flexibility and deepens functionality within the Pepu ecosystem.

Over the last month, we built and deployed the Pepu Stats API, ensuring accurate and up-to-date supply metrics. This will help synchronize Pepu data across 3rd party platforms. We’ve already reached out to listing sites and are awaiting their approvals.

Our community developers continue to drive innovation on L2, with several standout updates:

• Degen Time: degentime.io – integrated into PumpPad to help users track metrics more effectively.

• Tosh Roadmap: toshtech.xyz/roadmap – major rollouts expanding utility and features.

• HoRa Season 1: A successful launch celebrating community-chosen projects. Read the recap here.

• PepuNS x PENK Debit Cards: A new milestone in real-world use cases. View announcement.

• PENK MARKET: Allowing users to buy PENK, SPRING and PEPU (L2) direct from layer 1 using ETH, USD or PEPU (L1). View announcement

As September wraps up, our focus is clear:

• Finalize the L2 snapshot analysis.

• Continue to roll out fundimental updates.

• Kick off seasonal rewards in October, leveraging Galxe to bring 40–50k organic daily hits and onboard new community members.

We’re building Pepe Unchained with the community, for the community. Thank you for being part of the journey.
