Here’s some more information about these 8 assets:

PEPE Pepe is a memecoin built on the Ethereum blockchain. Inspired by the well-known Pepe the Frog character, the token quickly gained traction after it launched in April 2023. Pepe positions itself as a people-oriented digital asset that aims to challenge the dominance of Inu-themed memecoins.

NEAR –  Near Protocol is a Layer 1 blockchain for developers to create and launch their own decentralized applications (dApps). NEAR Protocol leverages a sharding mechanism to achieve increased scalability and faster, cheaper transactions. NEAR holders can use their tokens to cover network transaction fees associated with using NEAR Protocol applications and participate in governing the network’s development.

SEISei is a Layer 1 blockchain developed on Cosmos that aims to provide a next-generation DeFi infrastructure. Utilizing central limit order books (CLOBs), Sei Network facilitates decentralized application (dApp) integration and access to liquidity within the Cosmos ecosystem. SEI validators can choose to accept other Cosmos ecosystem approved tokens for gas payment based on network governance. The SEI token allows users to pay for gas fees and also functions as the protocol’s governance token.

SHIBShiba Inu is an Ethereum-based memecoin inspired by Dogecoin (DOGE), launched in 2020 by an anonymous developer known as Ryoshi. They state that the project was created as a response to a single question: What would happen if a cryptocurrency project was 100% run by its community?
