Vitalik became the adoptive father of 'MooDeng' and donated tens of millions of Thai baht and 88 ETH. On the same day, the MoodengETH community members exceeded 10,000.

On December 26, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of ETHFANG, announced on social media that he had officially become Moo Deng’s adoptive father. Moo Deng is a hippopotamus from a zoo in Thailand who has been followed for his symbolic conservation plan. Vitalik said that not only will he accompany Moo Deng in the next two years, but also help Moo Deng and his animal fren more by donating 10 million baht and 88 ETH. He also wished the animals a “long and prosperous life.” What’s even more special is that Moodeng ETH, the meme project to which Moo Deng belongs, also ushered in a major breakthrough on the same day - the community officially surpassed 10,000 members. The official tweet read: "Thank you all for being a part of this journey! We’ve proven that the meme community can not only achieve a sustainable rise, but also maintain a community-oriented core. This achievement is the starting point as we continue to build a stronger, more united community. WE ARE ALPHA！ The Moodeng ETH community exploded on the same day as Vitalik’s donation. As an iconic presence connecting public welfare and blockchain, Moo Deng not only highlights the support of animal protection in the blockchain field, but also adds more narrative space to the meme project. From Vitalik’s personal initiatives to the rise of the Moodeng ETH community, this event also showcased the potential and impact of Decentralization community building.
