PepeNode, a crypto mining game inspired by the strategy game Factorio, has successfully raised over $2.2 million in its initial coin offering (ICO). The game enables players to construct and optimize virtual mining systems to earn real cryptocurrency rewards, including PEPENODE tokens and popular memecoins like PEPE and FARTCOIN. Players can monitor their mining performance and compete on leaderboards, with upcoming features set to include virtual cooling systems and hardware upgrades. The PEPENODE token operates on a deflationary model, burning 70% of tokens used for upgrades. The project has completed a full smart contract audit by Coinsult, ensuring security and reliability.
