Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, has made headlines with his generous donation of 10 million Thai baht (approximately $300,000) to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand.

This contribution aims to enhance the zoo’s operations and establish a dedicated habitat for Moo Deng, a five-month-old pygmy hippo who has captured the hearts of many. Buterin’s announcement, shared on X, highlights his commitment to supporting Moo Deng as her “adoptive father” during her growth over the next two years.

The donation is a gesture of gratitude for the warm hospitality Buterin experienced during the Ethereum developer conference held in Thailand in November. He expressed his desire to give back to the country through a meaningful Christmas gift to Moo Deng, who has become a beloved figure in Thailand and gained international attention. The pygmy hippo has not only charmed locals but also inspired a viral internet meme, further solidifying her status as a cultural icon.
