The PEPENODE presale successfully reached its milestones as investors joined its innovative virtual mining ecosystem. Here is everything we know about the official launch and what comes next for the project.
PEPENODE is a new meme coin that allows holders to set up and upgrade digital mining rigs to earn rewards. Integrating multiple nodes to build your virtual mining rig grants you attractive bonus payouts in meme coins such as PEPE, FARTCOIN, and the project’s own PEPENODE.
The presale has now ended, and PEPENODE successfully raised over $2.49M during that phase, likely thanks to its combination of interactive utility and viral memes. Early participants were able to stake tokens, buy nodes, and earn rewards even before the token went fully on-chain.
With the Token Generation Event (TGE) completed, all PEPENODE tokens are now live on-chain. Mining, staking, and leaderboard rewards are fully functional, and the token is expected to list soon on major exchanges, further improving its liquidity and tradability.
As can be expected, the community has shifted focus from presale milestones to current token activity and ongoing rewards. In this post, we will tell you all we know about the PEPENODE launch date, its post-presale status, pricing, and other key project information.
The presale phase for PEPENODE started on August 5th, 2025. The whitepaper published by the team said the total supply is 210 billion PEPENODE tokens, with each token initially valued at $0.001.
During the presale, the price gradually increased at each stage, giving early investors a better cost basis. By the end of the presale, the token value reached around , which marked significant growth since the start.
When the presale concluded on January 8th, 2026, PEPENODE officially fully launched. Now, holders can access the token on supported exchanges and start participating in staking, mining, and other ecosystem features.
The PEPENODE presale officially ended in January 2026.
The presale is now over, so tokens are no longer available at the presale pricing.
PEPENODE is now fully launched and tradable on exchanges like Uniswap.
Participants who purchased during the presale can claim their tokens and start using them within the ecosystem. If you are looking to acquire PEPENODE now, you will need to buy it on supported decentralized or centralized exchanges rather than on the presale website.
Optional: If you participated in the presale, you can stake your tokens to earn passive rewards. This is now an available option that allows holders to continue to earn APY and benefit from their virtual mining rigs.
There are four different stages in the development of PEPENODE, starting with the presale stage.
In phase two (Q4 2025), the entire platform was activated, and the formal Token Generation Event (TGE) took place in early January 2026. This phase opened full access to mining functions and the virtual server room builder.
Following the TGE, the team moved forward with its plans to list PEPENODE on decentralized exchanges and began applying for listings on major centralized exchanges.
In phase three (early 2026), all mining activities are moved from off-chain to the blockchain in order to provide total transparency. Mining equipment is being introduced as NFT-based assets owned by users, while top performers are rewarded by leaderboard systems.
Looking ahead, the final development stage focuses on expanding multi-token rewards. Through the virtual mining operations, users will be able to earn established meme coins such as PEPE and FARTCOIN. In addition, mobile-friendly mining management is planned via dedicated applications.
Like most new cryptocurrencies, PEPENODE was initially launched on decentralized exchanges after the presale ended. The token was added to a Uniswap liquidity pool on January 8, 2026, shortly after the Token Generation Event (TGE). Trading has been active there since then.
PEPENODE has allocated 7.5% of its supply to exchange listings and growth, which is the same percentage allocated for node rewards. Other aspects of the coin’s tokenomics are depicted in the image below.

According to the project whitepaper, PEPENODE planned a launch on centralized exchanges alongside decentralized exchanges like Uniswap. However, there is no mention of any specific centralized exchanges in the project documentation yet.
As of now, no centralized exchange listings have been officially confirmed. Listing on major centralized exchanges typically depends on post-launch traction, liquidity, and the exchange review process.
Now that PEPENODE has launched and begun trading, we can look at the core features the project introduced at launch and continues to build on.
Participants can purchase miner nodes to build their own virtual mining rig. This can then be used to simulate real-time crypto mining activities in a digital environment with a rich visual dashboard. This will allow users to easily track rewards, leaderboards, energy usage, hashrates, and more.
Before launch, the virtual mining gameplay was conducted off-chain. Following the Token Generation Event (TGE), mining operations are transitioning on-chain to improve transparency. Early participants from the off-chain phase are eligible for leaderboard perks and bonus rewards.
Every time you purchase nodes to upgrade your virtual mining rig, 70% of the PEPENODE tokens spent will be burned (permanently removed from the token supply). This will introduce natural scarcity over the long run, potentially driving the coin’s value up.
Early participants who staked tokens during the presale were able to secure boosted mining rewards at launch. Staking continues to play a role in incentivizing long-term participation.
PEPENODE launched with a referral rewards system to drive organic growth. When a user refers PEPENODE to other users, they earn a bonus of 2% from the total mined rewards of the invitees, ensuring viral growth and fostering a strong community.
PEPENODE confirmed that its presale ended in January 2026, followed by the project’s official Token Generation Event (TGE).
Early documentation suggested the possibility of an earlier launch if fundraising targets were met, but the presale ultimately ran through its planned timeline before it concluded.
Now that the presale ended and the token is live, the best way to keep track of the PEPENODE launch date is to follow its official X and Telegram accounts to receive all major updates from the team.
