Pika Protocol PIKA

What PIKA actually is on-chain

Pika Protocol is an ERC-20 deployed on Optimism, at contract address 0x9a601c5bb360811d96a23689066af316a30c3027. That address, not the ticker PIKA, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself PIKA, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against optimistic.etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Optimism, PIKA is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in PIKA itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Velodrome and Uniswap pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

2 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker PIKA: Pikaboss (Ethereum, 0xa9d5…ccfd); PIKA to PIKO ピカとピコ (another network). The asset on this page is specifically the Optimism deployment at 0x9a60…3027. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For PIKA the project publishes an active account as @PikaProtocol. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where PIKA sits in the market

Ranked #1467, Pika Protocol falls in the middle of the small-cap band. The order book absorbs size poorly at this depth: one meaningful market order can reprice the tape by several percent before it retraces minutes later. A lone static price target therefore fires on noise, and what you want is a condition built to survive that wick. Venue coverage is narrow, which makes volume-based delisting a concrete risk rather than a theoretical one.

We are not currently receiving a live PIKA order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. PIKA is a Optimism asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Velodrome and Uniswap pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

PIKA against its all-time high

Pika Protocol's record high is $1.26, set on 2024-09-30. That high sits in a range where whole-cent and whole-unit levels are genuinely traded, which makes them usable as alert thresholds if a quote returns. It was set roughly 2 years ago, so it belongs to the current cycle but not to current conditions. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live PIKA price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

PIKA across its historical range

PIKA has traded across a 368x range, between $0.00342553 and $1.26. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.00342553 was printed on 2025-02-04 — roughly 2 years ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

PIKA supply and valuation data

Pika Protocol sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for PIKA but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $37.7 million as of 2026-05-12. That places it in the top 10% by fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one optimistic.etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset PIKA is

Pika Protocol is a decentralised exchange token. The economics are unusually legible for crypto: the protocol generates fees from trading volume, and the token's value proposition rests on whether it captures any of them. Volume on the underlying venue, the fee switch status and competitive pressure from other venues are the variables that actually matter — and DEX volume is itself highly cyclical, so revenue is not a stable base.

CoinGecko files PIKA under 4 categories, including Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Derivatives, Perpetuals, Optimism Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Optimism (125 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.
