What is Kaiju Kingz? Exploring $100k donation to Ryan Trahan's 1 penny challenge
Ryan Trahan has been making waves in the YouTube community with his recent 1 penny 1 million meals challenge, especially because of big donors such as Kaiju Kingz.
A big reason why the series has gained such traction with netizens is that Ryan is taking the opportunity to raise money for the NGO Feeding America. It is an organization that provides relief to starving people through numerous food banks, soup kitchens, and shelters, and it operates throughout the country.
Many significant donations have been made towards the cause as Ryan travels from the West to the East Coast to deliver a penny to YouTube star MrBeast within a month. On June 16, the NFT collective Kaiju Kingz announced that they are donating 1 million meals to the cause with a whopping $100k donation.
But who are the Kaiju Kingz, and what is their deal? Let's dig deep into the world of tokenization and Ethereum Metaverse to look for some answers.
Briefly, Kaiju Kingz is a collection of more than 3000 item profile picture projects in the form of pixelated kaiju NFTs created by Augmented labs. According to official lore, the tokenized kaijus live on the Ethereum blockchain and, like kaijus in science fiction, protect their respective Metaverse.
Their donation of $100k came on Day 15 of Ryan's trip across America, and the YouTuber was overjoyed. When he set out, his target was to raise a hundred thousand dollars for charity, which would convert into a million meals, thus the name: 1 penny 1 million meals.
Feeding America pledges that they can provide ten meals per $1 donated. It was the end of another day in the challenge for Ryan, and it was time for him to look at the day's donations:
He was shocked when he checked the donations, which restored his energy.
