• Waddles created the $MIRA token and donated 50% of the token supply to Chen for the cause
• Other prominent crypto leaders also joined in the donation drive, uniting the Solana and ai16Z communities
• Chen has since donated $1 million from his liquidated $MIRA tokens to a lab that focuses on rare brain tumor research
