A reminder of what CryptoPepes actually is.
1,100 genesis NFTs. Minted in 2018.
Obtained only by mining DPEP and burning it to mint.
No allowlist. No presale. Proof of work.
Breeding later expanded supply to 5,496.
Then it stopped. The cap is fixed.
Predates ERC-721 norms.
Predates $PEPE.
Predates most of what people call "early NFTs."
The $PEPE memecoin made a lot of people rich.
CryptoPepes was here in 2018, pre-token, pre-trend.
Different timeline. Same frog.
Breeding two CryptoPepes produced offspring with mixed traits.
1,100 genesis became 5,496 total.
Then breeding was discontinued. The cap stuck.
When CryptoPepes minted in October 2018, OpenSea was less than a year old.
That's the era we're talking about.
Most "OG" NFT collections aren't actually old enough to be OG.
If it shipped after 2020, it's just early.
$DPEP was the mining token.
You mined it. Then you burned it to mint a pepe.
No mint button. No mint price in ETH. Just work.
Something new is almost ready.
A proper home for the collection — the history, the art, the wrapper, all in one place.
Soon.
Heads down for a while. Building.
The first Pepe PFP collection deserves better infrastructure. Soon. 🐸
People value OG’s and there is no collection with more history than the first ever Pepe NFT collection 🐸
Why do people value antiquities?
Why do first editions always hold a premium?
Why did Cryptopunks pump?
Age and Scarcity always equals value
Study @NFT_Relics
Nobody loves frogs more than the OG Pepe NFT 🐸
