When it comes to charity, you have to see whether it’s genuine or just for show. Some projects talk a big game but don’t actually spend a cent. Kabuto is different—the dev directly put the first-gen NFT collectibles up for auction and donated all proceeds to the Children’s Academy. At least that’s a real, concrete move.

I really like these types of MEMEs with a storyline. It’s not just about hyping up an emoji; there’s potential for charity topics and community culture behind it. $kabuto took quite a hit recently, but it seems to have stabilized lately. Projects that back up their words with real actions like this are worth watching to see if there’s more to come.
