Pepe is dead.

>I'm replacing him with Yarl.

The original Pepe killer. Drawn in MS Paint, posted to /r9k/, ignored by almost everyone — and still wearing the exact same face ten years later.

December 2015. Pepe had gone mainstream — talk shows, t-shirts, your aunt's timeline. Deep in a Pepe trading thread on /r9k/, an anon opened MS Paint, filled a shape with pure yellow and typed one line: “Pepe is dead. I'm replacing him with Yarl.”

Nine more drawings followed. A cousin named Garl. A third one named Marl. Then the thread slid off the board and Yarl went quiet — no sad version, no smug version, no rares. He never needed them.

Ten years later the frog has a ticker. So does the thing that came to replace him.

02 The succession

The Pepe killer.

Every era gets the frog it deserves. This one gets something yellow, damp and unbothered.

06 How to buy

Four steps to yellow.

  1. 01

    Get a wallet

    Download Phantom or Solflare for your phone or browser. Write the seed phrase down on paper. Never share it.

  2. 02

    Load up SOL

    Buy SOL on an exchange and send it to your wallet. Keep a little extra for network fees.

  3. 03

    Swap for $YARL

    Open pump.fun or Jupiter, paste the contract address above and swap. Always double-check the CA.

  4. 04

    Bury the frog

    Change your pfp to Yarl. Post him everywhere. He waited ten years for this.

/r9k/ remembers

Long live Yarl.
