POPEcoin is a Rome, Italy-based memecoin developer that frames its token around the 1809 imprisonment of Pope Pius VII under Napoleon. Led by CEO Giovanni Sierra, the project distributes $POPE instantly to buyers, with tokens automatically staked so holders begin earning rewards immediately. The team plans a dedicated staking dApp after the presale to allow users to claim both their tokens and earned yield. POPEcoin is building a native bridge to enable asset movement across Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, and Base, and is developing POPEchain, a Bitcoin Layer 2 infrastructure with an alpha testnet scheduled for release post-presale. The company is also preparing NFT Relics—digital artifacts that fuse historical lore with on-chain identity—and a gamified VaticanVerse experience. POPEcoin raised $1.5M and intends to use the funds to expand operations and accelerate development.
