MYRO is a Solana meme coin named after the pet dog of Solana co founder Raj Gokal, and one of the leading dog coins of the 2023 to 2024 Solana revival.
MYRO is a dog themed meme coin on Solana, named after Myro, the real pet dog of Solana co founder Raj Gokal. Launched in November 2023, it belongs to the first generation of the Solana meme coin revival, the cohort that formed around ecosystem mascots and founder adjacent lore in the months after bonk proved the chain could still produce winners.
Origin
The token's contract went live on November 8, 2023, according to CoinLore, in the same week that Silly Dragon and other mascot coins were minted and days before dogwifhat. The premise followed the pattern set by Ethereum's Kabosu derived dog coins: attach a token to a dog with genuine proximity to the chain's story. Myro the dog belonged to Gokal, who had no formal role in the project; the coin was community created and traded on that association rather than on any endorsement. A self styled team built marketing and community programs around the dog through late 2023, positioning MYRO as Solana's friendly, approachable dog coin against the more absurdist tokens of the era.
Market history
MYRO climbed through the winter of 2023 and exploded in the broader Solana meme run of early 2024, at one point ranking among the top three Solana meme coins by market value according to CoinGape. Techopedia recorded a roughly 540 percent surge over thirty days into March 2024, helped by a Binance futures listing that paired it with dogwifhat in the exchange's first wave of Solana meme derivatives. CoinGecko records the all time high at about 0.44 dollars on March 8, 2024, which against a circulating supply near one billion implied a peak market value around 440 million dollars. The token then bled with the rest of the first wave as attention rotated to pump.fun launches; by 2026 it traded more than 99 percent below the peak, with a market capitalization around 2 million dollars.
Cultural impact
MYRO codified the founder's dog trade on Solana. Together with fellow November 2023 launches it demonstrated that the chain's meme economy could support multiple large dog coins at once, and its Binance listing in March 2024 marked one of the first times the centralized exchange tier reached down into Solana's native meme cohort. In the trenches MYRO is remembered as a defining first wave coin that never handed off to a second act: unlike bonk, which kept reinventing itself, MYRO's identity stayed pinned to its March 2024 peak, and its long decline is often cited in debates about whether mascot coins without continual reinvention can survive attention rotation.
