RARE PEPE

The first meme token deployed on the Ethereum blockchain was Rare Pepes, introduced in 2016. This project centered around the "Pepe the Frog" meme and involved a collective of artists contributing their works into a curated directory. Rare Pepes were initially created on the Bitcoin blockchain through the Counterparty protocol and later migrated to Ethereum, marking one of the earliest instances of meme tokens on the Ethereum network.
