  2. 2024

    Dawkoins launches on Solana (March 2024). Dawkins’ reaction on X, as widely reported: “I don’t even know what that means, but it sounds intriguing.”

  3. Now

    A community takeover, carried by holders and meme makers. Focused on where memes come from.

Richard Dawkins is alive and well. He does not endorse, own, or promote Dawkoins, and is not affiliated with it.
