Neiro is like the little sister to Doge and the heir to her legacy. Adopted by the same woman that once owned Kabosu (the dog behind the Doge meme), Neiro carries forward the true spirit of memecoins and internet culture.

Our Neiro was the first to deploy on Ethereum, and captured attention from Vitalik Buterin himself on August 4th, 2024, at 11:59:59pm UTC, the precise moment of the New Moon. A few days later, replying to a community-member-run X account, Vitalik confirmed that he had made a donation of more than $500k to an animal welfare fund. This marked the 2nd time ever that Vitalik has interacted with a memecoin, the first one being the SHIB token in 2021.

Originally abandoned by her owner and sent to a stray dog shelter for adoption, Neiro's journey is not unlike our own: after being rugged by the original dev, we decided to take over the project. Neiro is now 100% community-owned and managed.

With a strong commitment to giving back, we have already made a donation to the very shelter that once housed Neiro, with more charitable initiatives to come.
