What is known about the project? The mascot of the project is the popular character Pepe the Frog, created by cartoonist Matt Furie. The developers are positioning the asset as a competitor of meme coins, whose mascot is a dog of the Shiba-Inu breed. They include Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Floki Inu (Floki).

“It’s time for the most recognizable meme in the world to take his reign as king of the memes,” the project’s developers write on their official website, stating that the community is already tired of “endless derivative ShibaCumGMElonKishuTurboAssFlokiMoon Inu coins” that “have had their day.”

The total token issue is 420,69 trillion PEPE. Meanwhile, 93,1% of all tokens have been sent to the liquidity pool and burned. The remaining 6,9% is stored in a multi-signature wallet and will be used on centralized exchanges (CEX), for bridges and liquidity pools.

After listing on the Binance crypto exchange’s Innovation Zone in March, Radiant Capital’s token appreciated 29,9% to $0,4486.
