Mira

MIRA is a meme token created on Solana by an anonymous user on December 26, 2024 to fund research for a four-year-old child diagnosed with a rare brain tumor, adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma. The creator sent half of the total supply to the father's public wallet, and the value of that holding rose into the tens of millions of dollars within hours of launch, with the token's market cap briefly passing 80 million US dollars.

The father sold 5% of the supply and donated the 49,263 US dollars in proceeds to the Hankinson Lab at the University of Colorado, the North American team focused on pediatric craniopharyngioma, where the child is also a volunteer in a drug clinical trial; every subsequent sale has been announced in advance. MIRA is therefore cited in decentralized science discussions as a case study, and BIO Protocol publicly commented that it reflected the reach of that field.
