Inspired by Pepe - Ethereum L2 Layer Brett Hits $700K In Presale

4 min read

Dubai, UAE, August 20th, 2025, Chainwire

Layer Brett, a new Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain inspired by the meme coin character dubbed “Pepe’s brother,” has officially surpassed $700,000 in presale commitments.

The move to change Brett into an Ethereum L2 chain marks a clean break from Brett’s early days on Base. What started as just a dank meme is now shaping into something with actual legs; a working network focused on speed, staking, and scale. 

Boasting 10 billion tokens in circulation and a strong community ready for the long haul, the next phase is less about internet jokes and more about building something people might actually use.

How a meme token became an Ethereum L2 powerhouse

Layer Brett started life as “Brett”, a meme-based token on Coinbase’s Base network, built around Brett, developed as Pepe the Frog’s cousin. It gained a following, but beyond the cultural nods and meme momentum, Brett didn’t have much room to move. There were limits—technical ones mostly—that made it hard to scale or do anything practical.

Rather than stay boxed in, the team behind Brett decided to make the jump to a dedicated Ethereum L2 chain. That shift unlocked faster transactions, lower gas fees, and native staking features—everything the original version lacked. It’s still the same character at the core, but now with infrastructure that’s built for something more than just laughs.

Presale mechanics and token allocation explained

Layer Brett’s presale has already surpassed $700,000 in contributions, with early supporters able to purchase and optionally stake LBRETT directly through the project’s website. 30% of Layer Brett’s tokens are set aside for the presale. Another 25% is earmarked for staking rewards, while the rest of the pie is split across development, liquidity, marketing, and a 2.5% allocation for the team—locked away for 24 months. 

ETH, USDT, and BNB are all accepted during the presale, with wallet support for both MetaMask and Trust Wallet. Everything from purchase to staking happens directly on-chain, with a full rollout lined up once the presale wraps.

What Layer Brett offers beyond the meme

Layer Brett positions itself as more than just a meme-era project. As an Ethereum L 2, the chain is designed to optimize both user experience and network efficiency, while also crucially lowering fees.  

And for anyone staking their tokens, those lower costs feed directly into better rewards.

Key features of Layer Brett include:

  • Faster transaction throughput via off-chain processing
  • Reduced gas fees compared to Layer 1 Ethereum
  • Enhanced staking rewards from lower operational overhead
  • Support for MetaMask and Trust Wallet integrations
  • On-chain purchase and staking interface via the official site

These capabilities are intended to provide practical utility while retaining the project’s meme-based roots.

What’s next on the Layer Brett roadmap

Layer Brett has launched its core presale and staking functions as an Ethereum L2. Upcoming development items include adjustments to staking rewards, the introduction of NFTs, and features that incorporate basic game mechanics. These are intended to extend platform functionality and encourage continued interaction with the network.

The team’s also planning to roll out cross-chain functionality, making it easier to move assets between Layer Brett and other networks. It’s all aimed at giving the project more reach—and giving users more to do.

Positioning Layer Brett in the Ethereum L2 landscape

Ethereum L2 projects have been gaining ground lately, and Layer Brett is one of a few trying to take meme culture somewhere more practical. By integrating staking rewards and scaling technology, it aims to be more than just a familiar face with a token attached.

It’s still early days, but between the presale traction and what’s laid out on the roadmap, the direction looks clear enough: build something that lasts, and give the community something they can actually use.

About Layer Brett

Layer Brett is an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain project developed as an evolution of the original Brett meme coin. Built for scalability, staking, and user rewards, it combines Layer 2 performance benefits with a community-driven ecosystem and a fixed token supply of 10 billion LBRETT.

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban

The post How The ByteDance App Survived Trump And A US Ban appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 13: Participants hold signs in support of TikTok outside the U.S. Capitol Building on March 13, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Getty Images From President Trump’s first ban attempt to a near-blackout earlier this year, TikTok’s five-year roller coaster ride looks like it’s finally slowing down now that Trump has unveiled a deal framework to keep the ByteDance app alive in the U.S. A look back at the saga around TikTok starting in 2020, however, shows just how close the app came to being shut out of the US – how it narrowly averted a ban and forced sale that found rare bipartisan backing in Washington. Recapping TikTok’s dramatic five-year battle When I interviewed Brendan Carr back in 2022, for example, the future FCC chairman was already certain at that point that TikTok’s days were numbered. For a litany of perceived sins — everything from the too-cozy relationship of the app’s parent company with China’s ruling regime to the app’s repeated floating of user privacy — Carr was already convinced, at least during his conversation with me, that: “The tide is going out on TikTok.” It was, in fact, one of the few issues that Washington lawmakers seemed to agree on. Even then-President Biden was on board, having resurrected Trump’s aborted TikTok ban from his first term and signed it into law. “It feels different now than it did two years ago at the end of the Trump administration, when concerns were first raised,” Carr told me then, in August of 2022. “I think, like a lot of things in the Trump era, people sort of picked sides on the issue based on the fact that it was Trump.” One thing led to another, though, and it looked like Carr was probably…
