How to buy PEPE (Pepe) on Ethereum
Pepe (PEPE) is a meme coin on Ethereum, with its main pool created on 2023-04-14 (3.6 years ago). This guide is generated from MemeSwap's live token data on 2026-11-01: what the token is, where its liquidity sits, the risk flags the security scan raised, and the steps to buy it with your own wallet.
What PEPE is
Pepe trades under the symbol PEPE on Ethereum. Its main venue is Uniswap on Ethereum, an open pool venue. Its main pool was created on 2023-04-14, so it is 3.6 years old at the time of writing. It has 597,470 holders, a market capitalisation of $2.04B, and $3.39M of trading volume in the last 24 hours across 806 buys and 558 sells. The price moved down 2.2% over that day.
The contract address is 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933. That address, not the name, is the only unique identifier: copies of a popular symbol appear within minutes of a launch. How to verify a token contract explains the check. The chain explorer for Ethereum is etherscan.io.
Where the liquidity sits
The main pool holds $31.56M on Uniswap on Ethereum (pool 0xA43fe16908251ee70EF74718545e4FE6C5cCEc9f). That depth decides what a trade costs: a $100 buy is less than 0.01% of the pool and a $1,000 buy is less than 0.01%, and price impact grows with that share. Swaps through MemeSwap are routed by the KyberSwap aggregator, which quotes across every pool it knows and shows the price impact before you sign. Market cap is 65x the liquidity: the headline valuation is far larger than the money that can actually leave the pool, which is normal for meme coins and is why the last price is not a price you could sell the whole supply at.

Buying PEPE in MemeSwap, step by step
- Open the token page. Go to memeswap.fun/t/ethereum/0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933. The page is built from the contract address, so what you see is PEPE at 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933 and not a token that merely shares the name. Check the address against the project's own channels once.
- Connect a wallet. Tap Buy and connect an EVM wallet (a browser extension, WalletConnect, or the MemeSwap wallet app). MemeSwap is non-custodial: the server builds an unsigned transaction and your wallet signs it; nothing leaves your wallet without your signature, and MemeSwap never sees your seed phrase.
- Pick the chain and fund it. PEPE lives on Ethereum, so the wallet needs ETH on Ethereum: the amount you want to spend plus gas. If your funds sit on another chain, use the bridge view first (Swap, then choose the source and destination chains) and wait for the bridge to complete before buying.
- Review the route. The review shows the provider (the KyberSwap aggregator), the quoted PEPE output, the minimum you will receive at your slippage setting, the price impact against the $31.56M pool, and MemeSwap's 85 bps fee as its own line. If the minimum received is far below the quote, lower the amount or raise slippage deliberately; see what slippage really costs.
- Sign and confirm. Your wallet displays the same transaction. Confirm the recipient, the asset and the amounts match the review, then sign. The token page updates once the transaction is included; a failed transaction can still consume gas.
The MemeSwap fee is 85 basis points (0.85%) of the quoted value on every chain, shown as its own line in the review; network gas, the provider's costs and any token tax are separate and also visible before you sign. Details on the fees page.
Risk flags, in plain words
These come from the security scan and on-chain data MemeSwap holds for PEPE as of 2026-11-01. They are point-in-time automated checks, not a safety rating; the token page shows the current values.
- Honeypot check passed at scan time: a sell path existed when the scan ran. That can change if the contract has privileged functions.
- Liquidity is reported safe (99.4% of the LP), which limits the classic pull-the-pool rug.
- The top five wallets hold 28.1% of supply, the top twenty 7.5%.
- Listed on Coinbase, Robinhood, Kraken, Binance, which means it has passed an exchange listing review far more expensive than an automated screen.
Whatever the flags say, decide before you buy what you would sell at, what you would cut at, and what you are willing to lose entirely. Most meme coins lose most of their value; why meme coins go to zero shows the four ways it happens.
Common questions
- How do I buy PEPE on Ethereum?
- Open the PEPE token page on MemeSwap, connect an EVM wallet (a browser extension, WalletConnect, or the MemeSwap wallet app), make sure the wallet holds ETH on Ethereum for the purchase and gas, enter the amount, review the route (quoted output, minimum received, price impact and the 0.85% MemeSwap fee), then sign the transaction in your wallet.
- What is the PEPE contract address?
- 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933 on Ethereum. Names and symbols are not unique, so paste the address rather than searching by name; the MemeSwap token page and the chain explorer both show it.
- Is PEPE safe to buy?
- No meme coin is safe. At the last scan: Honeypot check passed at scan time: a sell path existed when the scan ran. That can change if the contract has privileged functions. Liquidity is reported safe (99.4% of the LP), which limits the classic pull-the-pool rug. The top five wallets hold 28.1% of supply, the top twenty 7.5%. Only buy what you can afford to lose entirely.
