How Memecoin $MIRA Helped Raise Over a Million Dollars for Charity

Charitable memecoin $MIRA captured the crypto community's attention, raising over $1 million for rare brain tumor research.

The Story Behind $MIRA

In September 2024, Siqi Chen, founder of Runway, revealed a personal tragedy: his daughter Mira was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, craniopharyngioma. After successful surgery, Chen aimed to support children's brain tumor research, leading to the creation of the $MIRA memecoin on the Solana blockchain.

How $MIRA Took Off

Anonymous user Waddles created the $MIRA token on Solana, donating half of its supply to Chen. This sparked community involvement. The token gained popularity, and Chen committed to donating 100% of the proceeds to research at the Hankinson Lab, adopting a transparent approach by liquidating 1% of his holdings daily and sharing updates on social media.

The Aftermath

$MIRA peaked at an $80 million market cap, surpassing $100 million in trading volumes. Despite its subsequent drop, the memecoin raised over $1 million for rare disease research, nearing the GoFundMe campaign goal. The initiative was celebrated for demonstrating how memecoins can be used for significant social impact.

Despite the token's decline in value, the $MIRA project highlighted how digital assets can achieve meaningful support for research and goals.
