Good evening to all members of the MemeHive and the Pepe communities! This curation contest is the 31st week but the first in 2026.

18 hours ago, @pepetoken sent me 200,000 PEPE to reward last week's winners, and the remaining fund will be reserved for this week's curation contest. So no worries, this account is the one responsible for sending the three reward tokens for this week's event.

So far, in our 31 weeks in existence on Hive, the total rewards distributed by our sponsors are as follows:

• 807,804 MEME from @greywarden100

• 740,000 PAY from @antisocialist, and

• 2,290,000 PEPE from @pepetoken

I think our sponsors will continue funding this weekly activity for this year. In case there is any development in our community event, I will try my best to update you.

The reduction in the curation reward confused me. I am really clueless about how this thing works.

PEPE Rewards for Last Week

They say, "It's better late than never." I think the saying applies to PEPE rewards, and so here are the transactions proving that the winners last week received their PEPE prizes:
