How to Swap PEPE to ETH on Uniswap V3 (Step By Step)

Connecting Your Wallet to Uniswap V3

1. Open app.uniswap.org in a desktop or mobile browser compatible with Ethereum-based dApps.

2. Click the “Connect Wallet” button located in the top-right corner of the interface.

3. Select your preferred wallet—MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Coinbase Wallet are widely supported options.

4. Confirm the connection request inside your wallet extension or app; ensure your wallet is set to the Ethereum Mainnet network.

5. Once connected, your wallet address will appear in the top bar, and the interface will load available token balances.

Selecting PEPE and ETH for the Swap

1. On the swap interface, click the input token field and search for PEPE; select the ERC-20 version deployed on Ethereum Mainnet (contract: 0x6982508145454Ce325dDbd702D3bE700B3AaB12B).

2. Click the output token field and search for ETH; choose the native Ether option—not WETH—unless you specifically require wrapped ETH.

3. Verify that both tokens display correct contract addresses and decimals in the token detail pop-up.

4. Input the amount of PEPE you wish to swap; the interface will auto-calculate the estimated ETH output based on current pool liquidity and price.

5. Ensure the slippage tolerance is set appropriately—1.0% to 3.0% is typical for low-cap tokens like PEPE due to volatility and shallow liquidity.

Approving PEPE Spending Permission

1. If this is your first time swapping PEPE on Uniswap V3, a “Approve PEPE” button will appear below the input field.

2. Click “Approve PEPE”, then confirm the transaction in your wallet; this is a one-time authorization allowing Uniswap’s router to move your PEPE tokens.

3. Wait for the approval transaction to be confirmed on-chain; block confirmations typically take 10–30 seconds under normal network conditions.

4. After confirmation, the interface updates to show “You can now trade PEPE”, and the “Swap” button becomes active.

5. Do not proceed with the swap until this status appears—attempting to swap without approval will result in a reverted transaction.

Executing the Swap Transaction

1. Click “Swap” to open the transaction review modal containing exact input, minimum output, deadline, and fee breakdown.

2. Review the displayed ETH amount and compare it against real-time price feeds outside Uniswap to assess fairness of execution price.

3. Confirm the swap in your wallet; this initiates a single atomic transaction invoking exactInputSingle on the Uniswap V3 Router contract.

4. Monitor the transaction hash in your wallet; successful execution transfers PEPE from your address and deposits ETH directly to your wallet.

5. Upon confirmation, your wallet balance updates automatically—no manual refresh is required if your wallet supports real-time event polling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why does my PEPE swap show “Insufficient Liquidity”?That error occurs when no active Uniswap V3 pool exists for the PEPE/ETH pair at the selected fee tier—or when existing positions have been withdrawn. Check pool.uniswap.org to verify whether an initialized tick range exists for that pair.

Q: Can I swap PEPE to ETH using a hardware wallet?Yes—Ledger and Trezor devices integrated via MetaMask or Rainbow Wallet fully support Uniswap V3 swaps, provided the Ethereum app is open and the device is unlocked during signature prompts.

Q: Is it safe to approve unlimited PEPE spending?No—Uniswap V3 uses permit2 or standard ERC-20 approvals requiring explicit allowance. Always use the minimal required amount or revoke prior allowances via revoke.cash before re-approving.

Q: Why did my transaction revert with “Too Much Slippage”?This happens when the actual price movement between transaction submission and block inclusion exceeded your slippage setting. Lower volatility tokens tolerate tighter bounds; PEPE requires wider ranges due to rapid order book shifts and thin depth.
