Learn how to claim your new Pepe Unchained ($PEPU) tokens in Best Wallet once the token fully launches.
If you’ve participated in the $PEPU pre-launch sale through Best Wallet's Upcoming Token tab, claiming your tokens is the next step to accessing and trading them in your wallet.
This article explains the simple process of claiming your tokens, potential challenges, and helpful tips to ensure a smooth experience. This includes troubleshooting advice if you encounter issues like high gas fees or app glitches.
Steps to claim your $PEPU tokens in-app
You can claim your Pepe Unchained tokens directly in Best Wallet.
Step 1: Going to the Upcoming Tokens tab
Open the Best Wallet app and go to the Upcoming Tokens tab in your purchasing wallet.
Here, you’ll find a list of all upcoming projects, including those in their claim periods, like Pepe Unchained.
Step 2: Selecting Pepe Unchained
Next, you will have to scroll down to reach the "Claim Live" section of Upcoming Tokens.
Tap on Pepe Unchained to start the claim process.
Tapping Pepe Unchained will open an in-app browser, taking you directly to the Pepe Unchained claim website.
Note: The in-app browser for Pepe Unchained may be temperamental, especially with so many users trying to access the Pepe Unchained website. If you encounter issues, close Best Wallet and re-open it. If the problem persists, visit the Pepe Unchained website directly either on a mobile or desktop browser, connect your wallet, and complete your $PEPU claim there.
Step 3: Connecting your wallet
To proceed, connect your wallet by tapping on 'Connect Best Wallet'.
Please double-check you are connecting the wallet you purchased $PEPU with, then tap "Connect".
Once you've approved, the pop-up will slide down and you should now see your $PEPU token balance.
Step 4: Selecting how to claim
There will be two options to claim your tokens: "Claim and Stake" and "Claim $PEPU".
If you choose "Claim $PEPU", you will get your Pepe Unchained tokens in your wallet directly and you will be able to access and trade them.
Alternatively, if you choose "Claim and Stake", you claim your $PEPU tokens but then lock them in a staking pool, meaning they will earn you passive income in $PEPU but you will not be able to access or trade them.
Step 5: Approving the transaction
If you decide to just claim your $PEPU, tap the button “Claim $PEPU”.
You will then be prompted to approve your claim transaction in a pop-up.
Before confirming, you will need to ensure you've got enough ETH to pay the gas fees in your wallet.
What are gas fees?
When claiming your $PEPU tokens, you will need to pay a gas fee to process and confirm your claim transaction.
The gas fee for claiming $PEPU will be payable in ETH, the native token of Ethereum.
Read our comprehensive guide on gas fees.
If you don't have crypto to pay the gas fees, you can add gas fee tokens to your wallet by buying, swapping, or depositing from another wallet or an exchange.
Note: Gas fees often spike during periods of high network activity, which may happen during the Pepe Unchained claim. This is because there will be many $PEPU holders trying to claim their new tokens at the same time.
Ensure your wallet has enough ETH to cover any spike in gas fees. Whilst gas fees on Ethereum are usually around $15-20 per transaction, we recommend having at least $50-100 in ETH in your wallet.
If the claiming fee seems too high, consider waiting for a less congested time to claim.
Step 6: Confirming and completing your $PEPU claim
After approving the transaction, the blockchain will process it. This may take a few minutes to reflect in your wallet's balance. Your new Pepe Unchained tokens should automatically show up in your wallet's token list.
If you don't see your new tokens, you may have to import the Pepe Unchained token address into your wallet — don't worry, your tokens are still yours and remain secure, just not viewable in your wallet yet.
Step 7: Managing your new tokens
You can now securely hold, access, and trade your Pepe Unchained tokens in Best Wallet.
Tips for a smooth claiming experience
Monitor Gas Fees: Use a gas tracker like Etherscan to choose optimal times for claiming to avoid high fees.
Stay Updated: Follow the Pepe Unchained X account to stay in the loop about the claim status and further project developments. Best Wallet is not responsible and does not manage Pepe Unchained or its claim period.
Enable Notifications: Best Wallet sends real-time alerts for claiming periods and token updates. Ensure these are enabled in your Best Wallet's Settings so you never miss important deadlines.
Verify Token Details: Claim directly through Best Wallet to avoid connecting to unauthorised or scam pages.
