Take good care of this Pepe family tree, in case the "frog market" comes one day.
Author: Deep Tide TechFlow
As BTC stops falling, the Meme sector, which has been quiet for a while, has finally started to rebound. The first to rebound is the top Memecoin $Pepe, but this time, many "family members" have also rebounded along with $Pepe.
This year, the heat of Memecoin continues to spread. A single Pepe is no longer enough to satisfy the market speculation, so various small frogs that were previously not subdivided and collectively referred to as Pepe have been individually selected by the market and transformed into various new Memecoins.
Deep Tide TechFlow has listed the current popular Pepe family member tokens in the market, taking you deep into the original frog Meme culture system.
Take good care of this Pepe family tree, in case the "frog market" comes one day.
PS: Due to the lack of consensus on the image of the Pepe family in the market, the article introduces the most popular project Twitter accounts for each Meme image.

Pepe
Official Twitter: https://x.com/pepecoineth
Contract Address: 0x6982508145454Ce325dDbE47a25d4ec3d2311933
As the most classic character in frog Meme culture, $Pepe is also the earliest frog Memecoin to become popular in the coin circle, and to be honest, it has even exceeded the expectations of most people. The wealth story of Pepecoin does not need to be elaborated. Tracing back from the background of Meme culture, Pepe is the earliest character image of the frog family, created by cartoonist Matt Furie. Pepe first appeared in Furie's comic "Boy's Club" in 2005, and then was loved by users of the 4chan forum, gradually becoming a widely spread Meme on 4chan.
Now, Pepe has become a well-known IP that cannot be ignored in the crypto world. From its birth to becoming the overlord of Memecoin, the much-anticipated $Pepe has only taken less than a year.
Same-name token Pepecoin
Official Twitter: https://x.com/pepecoins
Contract Address: 0xA9E8aCf069C58aEc8825542845Fd754e41a9489A
In addition, after the explosion of $Pepe last year, many same-name tokens that followed the trend appeared. Among them, $Pepecoin seems to be more than just following the trend. In its official article, the team mentioned that as early as 2016, they planned to launch a virtual currency with the Pepe image, but for various reasons, they were unable to implement it successfully. It was not until 2023 that the outburst of $Pepe reignited the team's enthusiasm, and the team also followed suit to issue coins after $Pepe became popular again. There seems to have been ongoing controversy over the "legitimacy" of the right to issue coins for the "frog Pepe" IP.
According to the investigation by the author, the pool of $Pepecoin is relatively large. When $Pepe surged at the beginning of the year, $Pepecoin also surged along with it, and it has not yet returned to zero (but has been halved).
However, it is obvious that the market is no longer satisfied with speculating on a single frog Meme. The wealth effect and IP influence brought by $Pepe have already spread to other frog Meme images.
Smug Pepe
It is worth mentioning that due to the slow penetration of frog Meme culture compared to the speculative speed of the crypto market, Sumg Pepe has always been regarded as the icon of $Pepe tokens. Even now, the official Twitter of Pepecoin still uses the avatar of Sumg Pepe, which also reflects that most people are not so concerned about the subdivided frog culture. The specific frog image is not the focus of the speculative market.
After searching around, the author found that there is still no unified consensus in the market on the speculation of the Smug Pepe image. The existing Smug Pepe-related Twitter accounts are diverse, and the liquidity of Memecoin pools is low, so there is a high risk of participation. Interested readers can delve into it and stay tuned.
MonkaS
Project Twitter: https://x.com/MonkasErc20
Contract Address: 0xdc7ac5d5d4a9c3b5d8f3183058a92776dc12f4f3
MonkaS originally came from Twitch TV and is a derivative emoticon symbol based on the Pepe image. Its meaning is "shocked and sweating Pepe," and it is usually used in tense moments during game live streams.
As an image closest to Pepe, MonkaS has also been used for independent IP speculation for a long time. The author also learned that it was not the same image as the original Pepe in terms of Meme culture only after seeing someone CX MonkaS. (It can also be considered as a manifestation of Memecoin's dissemination of Meme culture.)
Apustaja (Apu)
Project Twitter: https://x.com/ApusCoin
Contract Address: 0x594daad7d77592a2b97b725a7ad59d7e188b5bfa
The crudely drawn young frog Apustaja is also a popular frog Meme image. Since its debut in 2016, it has been extremely popular (the author also likes it very much). The internet has gradually spawned many Meme pictures of the Apustaja image, and people are happy to project real-life situations onto the Apustaja image. Many crypto projects also favor making Meme with Apustaja as the theme image.
Currently, $Apu has been listed on the Bybit exchange.
Ashbie
Project Twitter: https://x.com/ashbiemooncoinx
Contract Address: 0x789E29153A3c5E6598368716f8C146B5eBEfF969
When mentioning Apu, it is necessary to introduce Apu's girlfriend, Ashbie. At some point, netizens arranged a cute girlfriend, Ashbie, for the popular character Apu. Various memes of Apu and Ashbie dating began to appear on the internet. This slightly contrasting combination did not make people feel uncomfortable, but rather unexpectedly suitable. Apu and Ashbie were also once regarded by netizens as the representative image of the "This could be us" pure love meme.
It is worth mentioning that before the launch of $Ashbie token, the Dev team airdropped it for free to users who left their addresses in the comments on Twitter. At the highest point of the token price, the airdrop value for a single account was close to $2500.
Peepo
Project Twitter: https://x.com/PEEPOCOIN_ARMY
Contract Address: 0xaada04204e9e1099daf67cf3d5d137e84e41cf41
Peepo is also a member of the Pepe family, one of the young frogs. Most people's awareness of Peepo probably comes from the various emojis in WeChat (?).
As a member of the frog IP, the community's enthusiasm for the $Peepo token has been good since its launch, and the project team is relatively active on Twitter.
Currently, $Peepo has been listed on the Bitget exchange.
Groyper
Project Twitter: https://x.com/GroyperOnETH
Contract Address: 0x6942806d1b2d5886d95ce2f04314ece8eb825833
The Groyper image first appeared on the 4chan forum, and the specific reasons and references are yet to be determined (it just caught fire as it spread). It is worth mentioning that this frog image with its hand under its chin is rarely used to represent "wisdom" and is more often used by far-right and new right-wing groups or individuals on social media as a profile picture.
While speculation is good, protecting the principal is more important
After clarifying the differences between the members of the Pepe family, there will no longer be a messy feeling of "not feeling like it, but not being able to specify where it doesn't feel like it" when encountering various Pepe emojis in the future.
However, most conceptual tokens of the Pepe family are still in the initial speculative stage, with insufficient consensus and poor liquidity, and there is a certain risk of rug pull, so please participate with caution.
Perhaps there are still more frog family Memecoins waiting to be discovered.
