Guide
The words that keep coming up around PEP, each in a sentence or two, with a link to where this site goes deeper. The green line under each one is the frog’s translation. It’s a joke, the sentence above it is the definition.
Twenty terms. Tap one to jump.
Auxiliary proof of work. One piece of mining work counts on several chains that use the same algorithm, and each chain pays its own reward. PEP has used it with Litecoin and Dogecoin since block 42,000.
🐸 One shovel, three holes, three treasures.
A batch of transactions added to the chain. Pepecoin aims for one block every 60 seconds.
🐸 A new page in the frog diary, about once a minute.
A website that shows blocks, transactions and address balances, such as PepeBlocks or Pepeplorer for PEP.
🐸 Where you stalk your own transaction until it confirms.
The new coins paid to whoever mines a block. 10,000 PEP since block 600,000.
🐸 The miner’s snack for finding a block.
A wallet whose keys stay off internet-connected computers, such as a Tangem card.
🐸 Your PEP, chilling offline.
Someone else, usually an exchange, holds the keys and the coins for you.
🐸 Not your keys, not your frog.
How hard it is to find a valid block. It adjusts so blocks keep arriving about once a minute.
🐸 The chain’s “git gud” setting.
The token standard on Ethereum. PEPE and PEPECOIN are ERC-20 tokens; PEP is not.
🐸 The other frogs’ passport. PEP doesn’t have one, it has its own country.
A start with no premine, presale or team allocation, where every coin comes from mining. PEP launched this way.
🐸 Everyone started at the same lily pad.
Software that downloads and checks every block itself, such as Pepecoin Core.
🐸 Trust nobody, check everything. Very frog.
A cut of the block reward by half. PEP's reward halved every 100,000 blocks until block 600,000 and has stayed at 10,000 since.
🐸 Snack size cut in half, until it stopped at 10,000.
The total computing power mining a chain, in hashes per second. PEP's was about 2.9 PH/s in October 2026.
🐸 How hard the miners are digging.
New coins per year divided by the coins that exist. For PEP about 5% in 2026, falling every year.
🐸 Same harvest, bigger barn, smaller percentage.
Price times supply. Useful for comparing the size of two coins.
🐸 How big the frog is, not how high it jumps.
A service where many miners combine their work and share the rewards.
🐸 Frens digging together and splitting the loot.
Coins created for insiders at launch, outside normal mining. PEP had none.
🐸 Insiders grabbing coins before the doors open. PEP: nope.
Security through computing work: miners compete to find the next block, and changing history would mean redoing that work.
🐸 Sweat equity, but for computers.
A list of words that backs up a wallet’s keys. Whoever has it can spend the coins.
🐸 Never type it into a website. Never read it to “support”.
The hashing function behind Litecoin, Dogecoin and Pepecoin, published by Colin Percival in 2009. It needs more memory than Bitcoin’s SHA-256.
🐸 The secret sauce Litecoin, Dogecoin and PEP all use.
Unspent transaction output. Coins exist as outputs that can each be spent once. Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Pepecoin work this way; Ethereum tokens keep balances instead.
🐸 Coins as little envelopes you spend once.
