The CryptoPepes Foundation firmly believes that the CryptoPepes 2018 collection is one of the most beautifully created NFT Collection sets ever and aims to educate the world about this cold hard fact. They aspire for CryptoPepes to receive the same OG status as similar collections issued during the 2017 tot 2019 period.
Pepe is a happy meme and some people hijacked this meme to spread hate. We believe that pepe is complete goodness and we don't have any bad intentions whatsoever.
One of the original creators of the CryptoPepes 2018 collection, CR, also known as PepeToshi, along with a group of individuals from the poker and crypto community, boasting over 20 years of experience in poker and more than a decade in the crypto space.

The largest holder had over 1000 CryptoPepes. The Foundation approached this holder, persuaded him to retain only 100 and he then sold the remaining pepes to the Foundation.
The Foundation plans to sell a large part of the pepes over the next two years, limiting sales to one CryptoPepe per person to promote distribution over more unique holders (not just unique Ethereum addresses, but unique persons).
All profits generated from CryptoPepes sales will be reinvested into developing the CryptoPepes Ecosystem; the CryptoPepes Foundation website, tools, games, marketing, and various other usecases for CryptoPepe holders. Updates will be announced on our Twitter account. The Foundation will utilize the proceeds from CryptoPepes sales for extensive marketing efforts aimed at educating the crypto community about the significance of CryptoPepes 2018 as one of the most remarkable NFT collections.
Like stated above, all proceeds from sales will remain in the Foundation to further develop the ecosystem and community, so therefore yes the Foundation is a Non-Profit. The CryptoPepes Foundation reserves the right to payout salaries in the future.
We are currently in the progress of selecting a jurisdiction to base our Foundation. Our foundation currently has the status IN FORMATION.
Here is an overview of things that we have in mind to promote the collection.
  • The CryptoPepes Foundation website will go live
  • Starting from March, frequent updates are expected, facilitated by an in-house team working on the social media, ensuring almost daily updates.
  • Free hoodies will be distributed to selected poker players participating in WSOP/EPT/WPT and Triton events in exchange for promoting CryptoPepes via their social media channels.
Because until May 2023 CryptoPepes wasn't available on any NFT Platform because the smart contract wasn't compatible with OpenSea and any other NFT Platforms. Now with the wrapper in place and the CryptoPepes Foundation launched and operational, it's our mission to re-establish the OG Status of the CryptoPepes 2018 Collection.
Until recently, CryptoPepes wasn't listed on OpenSea or any other NFT platform. This was because the smart contract of CryptoPepes 2018 is so old (from 2018) that it isn't compatible with OpenSea. For this reason a wrapper contract was made in May 2023 that enabled listing on NFT Platforms. Unwrapped pepes can be wrapped on this address: cryptopepes.wtf. After wrapping a pepe it becomes immediately available in OpenSea.
When CryptoPepes launched in 2018, they launched with a Proof of Work Period in which miners could point their hashrate towards towards the CryptoPepes mining contract. Each 16th block a miner would get rewarded with DPEP (pepe dust token). The Pepe Dust Token could be used to mint a GEN-0 CryptoPepe (100 DPEP = 1 CPEP).
The CryptoPepes Foundation gave the order to rescue about 700 pepes that were locked in an auction contract of which the online auction marketplace had already gone offline. The Foundation fully funded the gas costs of this operation.
You can see the GEN-0 (generation 0) Pepes as the top of the family tree. They only have offspring no parents or grandparents. Back in 2018 GEN-0's could start breeding and create children that would use the DNA of the parents to create a new look, those children would then be GEN-1's. During the mining period there were only 1100 GEN-0's available, the rest of the available supply is all generated through breeding.
This is an overview of the different tokens in the CryptoPepes project
  • CPEP: The token that represents our beloved CryptoPepes. The original CPEP contract was published at 0x84ac...89ad6e4, but this one was not compatible with OpenSea and other platforms, so the community created a wrapper at 0xE59B...8F11c89 in 2023 that enabled publication.
  • DPEP: The CryptoPepes mining contract 0xd4dd6...7cd5e609 would award a certain amount of DPEP (Pepe Dust) tokens each 16th block. Those DPEP Tokens could be used to mint a GEN-0 CPEP (A gen-0 cryptopepe). Each 100 DPEP could mint 1 CPEP.
  • PEP: The PEP token 0xbb0ef...b4d3ec77f was an ERC-20 token that was released as a side token with some initial plans to create utility. This token is currently not used anymore.
