what's rare pepes?
Rare Pepes are early digital collectibles and NFTs built on the Bitcoin blockchain using the Counterparty protocol from 2016 to 2018. They consist of unique Pepe the Frog meme variations issued as provably scarce assets. The project pioneered crypto art and meme-based tokens, with community tools for trading, wallets, and directories available on sites like rarepepes.com. Specific cards, like the "Nakamoto card," represent high-value individual assets within the collection. The ecosystem emphasizes historical scarcity and cultural significance in the NFT space.
Rare Pepes Directory's ten-year anniversary is scheduled for fall 2026.
