Pepenode Raises $500K in Presale as First Mine-to-Earn Meme Coin with Gamified Ethereum Mining

29.08.2025 17:35

Pepenode ($PEPENODE), a novel meme coin project built on Ethereum, has successfully raised $500,000 in its ongoing presale, attracting significant attention from crypto whales and smart money traders. The project introduces a groundbreaking 'mine-to-earn' concept that allows users to participate in virtual crypto mining without the need for expensive hardware, technical expertise, or high electricity costs.

The platform operates through a gamified experience where users build digital server rooms and deploy virtual mining nodes using $PEPENODE tokens. Each node acts as a unique asset with distinct properties, and users can upgrade their setups to enhance mining performance. Approximately 70% of tokens spent on upgrades are permanently burned, creating a deflationary mechanism designed to support long-term token value.

Pepenode's presale is structured with progressive pricing, currently at $0.0010325 per token, and is set to increase in under two days. The project emphasizes community access with no private rounds or insider allocations. Presale participants gain immediate access to an off-chain version of the mining game and can stake tokens for estimated rewards exceeding 4,500% over two years.

Analysts, including Crypto Tech Gaming, have highlighted Pepenode's potential, suggesting it could yield 100x gains post-launch. The project is positioned to benefit from Ethereum's recent surge—nearly 20% this month—and the anticipated liquidity rotation into ecosystem projects. Future plans include on-chain operations, NFT-based mining equipment, multi-token rewards (including PEPE and Fartcoin), and listings on both decentralized and centralized exchanges by Q3/Q4 2025.
