Little Pepe Raises $16.3M in Presale for Meme Coin Layer 2 Blockchain

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) has raised over $16 million across multiple presale stages as it develops what it claims to be the first Layer 2 blockchain specifically built for meme coins. The project is not just launching a token but constructing a blockchain infrastructure that aims to address key limitations of existing platforms like Ethereum and Solana, including high gas fees, slow transaction speeds, and vulnerability to bot manipulation [1].

The project has progressed through nine presale stages, with the price of tokens increasing progressively from $0.001 in Stage 1 to $0.0019 as of Stage 9. To date, the presale has raised $16.3 million, reflecting strong community interest and growing confidence in the project’s vision. Tokenomics are also designed with long-term sustainability in mind, with over 26% of the supply allocated to the presale and an additional 30% reserved for on-chain liquidity [1].

Little Pepe’s Layer 2 blockchain is designed to offer ultra-low gas fees, fast transaction finality, and built-in bot protection. These features are intended to make the platform more accessible to retail investors and more secure for project creators. The chain is also EVM-compatible, allowing existing decentralized applications and token contracts to migrate seamlessly [1].

At the core of the ecosystem is the Pepe’s Pump Pad, a user-friendly launchpad that enables creators to deploy new meme coins without technical expertise. The platform supports one-click token creation, automatic liquidity locking, and default smart contract security measures. It also integrates bot protection and allows for rapid deployment on the high-speed Layer 2 network [1].

Looking ahead, Little Pepe’s development roadmap is divided into three phases: Pregnancy, Birth, and Growth. The Pregnancy phase, which is currently underway, focuses on presale fundraising and community building. The Birth phase will include initial exchange listings, primarily on decentralized exchanges, followed by centralized platforms. It will also see an expanded marketing campaign. The final Growth phase will involve the full launch of the Layer 2 blockchain and the introduction of ecosystem tools and partner integrations [1].

To further drive engagement, Little Pepe has launched a $777,000 giveaway, offering 10 winners $77,000 each in $LILPEPE tokens. Participation requires a minimum $100 presale purchase and completion of social media tasks on platforms like X and Telegram. The more tasks a participant completes, the higher their chances of winning a prize [1].

Little Pepe enforces a zero-tax policy, meaning there are no fees for buying or selling tokens. This approach is intended to encourage frequent and frictionless on-chain activity, distinguishing the project from many other meme coins that impose high transaction costs [1].

The project is positioning itself as a foundational infrastructure for the future of meme coin creation, combining virality with technical innovation. With over $16 million raised and presale prices still under $0.0020, the project is generating significant attention in the cryptocurrency space [1].
