About PEPEPOW
A Journey of Resilience and Growth
Building the future of decentralized finance through community, mining, and adaptation.
PEPEPOW launched its Genesis Block on May 12, 2023, inspired by meme culture and the principles of decentralized currency. What began as a small blockchain experiment has continued to evolve through community participation, technical upgrades, DAO governance, mining infrastructure, and practical development focused on long-term resilience.
What Is PEPEPOW?
PEPEPOW is a community-driven cryptocurrency ecosystem built around Proof-of-Work participation, masternode support, decentralized governance, and continuous adaptation. It was originally adapted from Dash-inspired technology and later evolved through multiple algorithm and network upgrades.
The network has moved from its early Memehash phase to XelisV2-pepew and then into the HooHash V110 era. This transition created a new mining phase and required updated wallet, mining, pool, and node software.
Proof-of-Work Mining
Miners help secure the network and receive 65% of each block reward. Current mining belongs to the HooHash V110 era, with mining tools and pool infrastructure continuing to improve.
Masternodes and Governance
Masternodes receive 35% of block rewards and help support governance, transaction services, and network stability. A masternode requires 10,000,000 PEPEW collateral.
DAO-Based Development
PEPEPOW uses DAO-oriented governance through branches such as adminDAO, miningDAO, nodeDAO, marketDAO, and devDAO. Community discussion and transparent decision-making remain central to the ecosystem.
DevFee for Growth
From wallet version v2.4.4.2, a 5% DevFee was implemented: 1% for main developers and 4% for DAO escrow participants to support project development and integrations.
The Journey So Far
PEPEPOW’s early days were marked by strong community interest, active mining, and rapid experimentation. The project also faced serious challenges, including chain instability, the end of original developer maintenance, and security incidents affecting community communication channels.
Instead of disappearing, community contributors stepped in to maintain wallets, restore momentum, improve infrastructure, update documentation, support miners and node operators, and continue development. This history shaped PEPEPOW into a practical community experiment in persistence, recovery, and decentralized contribution.
Looking Ahead
The future of PEPEPOW depends on practical infrastructure, reliable wallets, mining participation, transparent governance, liquidity access, and clear community education. The roadmap may be adjusted over time based on contributor availability, technical feasibility, funding, and community consensus.
Core Infrastructure
API server, ElectrumX server, explorers, monitoring dashboards, and masternode tools to support wallets, applications, and node operators.
Wallet Access
Non-custodial web wallet, mobile wallet direction, Telegram mini wallet bot, and safer user onboarding tools.
Developer Tools
JS/TS SDK, PepewPay payment link / POS PWA, PEPEW inscriptions, and Unity Game Kit experiments.
Liquidity and Expansion
Wrapped PEPEW, liquidity pools, oracle gateway development, and possible DEX aggregator integration.
AI-Assisted Development and Community Support
PEPEPOW is a small community project, so AI-assisted workflows can help expand development capacity. AI tools may support code review, debugging, log analysis, monitoring scripts, documentation, FAQ systems, mining guides, wallet guides, and multilingual community support.
AI assistance does not replace human responsibility. Security-sensitive changes, wallet releases, protocol upgrades, treasury operations, payout handling, and public announcements should still be reviewed by experienced community members.
Visual Identity and Community Media
PEPEPOW’s visual identity reflects effort, persistence, construction, and forward movement. Community artists and AI-assisted creators are encouraged to explore different styles while keeping the spirit constructive, contribution-oriented, and optimistic.
- Proof-of-Work as effort, persistence, and accumulated contribution.
- Community collaboration, decentralization, and infrastructure building.
- Pepe-inspired mascot concepts, miner helmets, nodes, digital energy, and creative crypto-themed visuals.
- Open artistic freedom, including futuristic, cinematic, painterly, minimalist, technical, or abstract styles.

A1: PepePow is a decentralized blockchain project that leverages the Pepe meme culture to create a platform for community collaboration, skill development, and global connections.
A2: PepePow uses the XelisV2-pepew proof-of-work algorithm, which is designed to be optimized for CPU mining.
A3: PepePow uses a dual reward system where 65% of the block reward goes to miners and 35% goes to masternode operators.
A4: The total supply of PepePow is capped at 90 billion coins.
A5: Superblocks are special blocks that occur every 1000 blocks and offer 2-5 times higher rewards than standard blocks.
A6: After the 90 billion supply cap is reached, only superblocks will provide block rewards to help replenish lost coins and dead wallets.
A7: PepePow will initially be governed by an intermediary organization that is obligated to fulfill prescribed objectives based on decentralization principles. Masternode holders can participate in governance through voting.
A8: Masternodes help govern the network, vote on proposals, and receive a share of the block rewards for their services.
A9: PepePow aims to drive adoption through strategic partnerships, marketing, and a bounty reward system based on the PEPEW coin.
A10: PepePow seeks to fill a gap by providing guidance and resources to promising ideas, enabling them to move from conception to implementation. It aims to create a collaborative ecosystem that outlives any single participant.
A1: The document serves as a guideline for the current representatives of the organization, outlining the DAO’s objectives, management strategies, and operational policies.
A2: The main objectives are ensuring fair practices, operational transparency, maintaining network security, upholding the vision outlined in the PEPEPOW whitepaper, and actively encouraging community growth.
A3: The DAO aims to minimize overheads by employing automated governance techniques, which can reduce human error, offer administrative redundancy, discourage the centralization of power, and improve operational sustainability.
A4: Votes must allocate sufficient time before expiration, be clear and concise, avoid ambiguous language, address new subjects descriptively, and accommodate simple majority outcomes by presenting topics with various options.
A5: Expenditures will be funded entirely by community members’ donations, either through direct funding or indirect initiatives such as partnerships or mining to the official community pool.
A6: The main categories are Grants (10%), Network Infrastructure (20%), Reserve Fund (30%), and Marketing (40%).
A7: The Grants category is aimed at funding collaborations and projects that broaden the PEPEPOW ecosystem, such as social media initiatives, layer 2 protocols, DEX integrations, and business-level infrastructure.
A8: The Network Infrastructure category covers costs associated with fair compensation for work done by immediate DAO members and community members who actively contribute to the project, including administration, paid bounties, core development, and project-related service providers.
A9: The Reserve Fund is aimed at project rescue, emergencies, and providing a hedge against capital losses or total abandonment. It can be implemented through alternate asset accumulation or allocating funds to a PEPEPOW masternode.
A10: Until further notice, votes will only be accepted for consideration via direct participation on the official Discord server.
