What is Purple Pepe?
Purple Pepe (PURPE) is a community-led Pepe-themed memecoin on Solana that was deployed in July 2023 and uses the "Make Solana Great Again" motto.
Purple Pepe is a memecoin on Solana built around a purple version of the Pepe the Frog meme. It positions itself as Solana's "purple" answer to the "green" Pepe associated with Ethereum, and it has no product, roadmap, or utility beyond the meme and its community.
The project describes itself as community-led, with no team allocation or presale at launch, meaning the supply was distributed publicly. Its tagline is "Make Solana Great Again."
