Pepeto, a presale meme coin building an AI security scanner, has raised more than $11.3 million, TechBullion reported. The token sells at $0.0000001906 while the scanner is in development. The project says testing is open only to community members and big investors, who get access privately.
How Pepeto's AI Scanner Tests a Token
Pepeto is building the scanner into its exchange. The tool reads a contract and live chain data with 42 detectors, then simulates a buy and a sale on a copy of the chain before the real order goes through. In a sample report, a token scored 6 and failed its sale test as a honeypot, so the trade was blocked and a $2,815 order stayed in the buyer's wallet. The platform is also building a 0.00% fee swap and a free bridge. SolidProof audited the project and completed its KYC, and the token is a meme coin built with the original Pepe's cofounder on the team. Pepeto says its Binance listing is approaching.
Pepeto's Earlier Presale Milestones
On November 6, openPR.com reported that Pepeto had raised over $11.2 million for a $0 bridge between chains. That same day, openPR.com reported the presale offered a locked 160% APY staking rate, also with over $11.2 million raised. On November 5, openPR.com reported a Pepeto presale offering a 200x return, with a Binance listing pending.
Wallet Thefts and Fraud Warnings Across the Sector
Theft and fraud warnings have appeared across the sector. Theta Capital said Binance replaced 98% of funds stolen in the $6.3 billion October 29 hack within days, The future of trading reported on November 6. FINRA warned investors in September 2026 about a scheme in which callers claim to protect retirement savings and pressure them to withdraw funds, Business & Financial reported on November 6. Coincheck froze crypto withdrawals after an external on-chain analysis service failed, Cryptopolitan reported on November 5.
What Comes Next for Pepeto
Pepeto says its expected Binance listing will separate wallets holding the token at stage prices from readers who learn about it after the open market sets a price. Until then, the project says every stage costs more than the stage before it.
