NEKO is NEAR Protocol's first meme coin. Its original team built what they set out to build, delivered their roadmap, and then stepped back. Now the community is taking the reins: the holders who are still here, carrying NEKO into its next chapter together.
NEKO was born in early 2022 as the first meme coin on NEAR Protocol, built to be a key community support node for the ecosystem: a crypto content creation hub and an AI app developer. The Neko community formed during the toughest market NEAR has ever seen. When the chips were down, it grew stronger, showing up every day to create educational crypto content.

Content, not hype
A crypto content creation hub and AI app developer, with holders publishing educational content every day.
The handover
Roadmap delivered. Reins handed over.
01
The team delivered
The original developers shipped what they promised: the token, the Felines NFT collections and staking. With the roadmap complete, they stepped back from day-to-day development.
02
The cat kept trading
NEKO has stayed live on-chain with real liquidity the whole time. That's the community holding the line.
03
The community takes the reins
Holders are now building the tools, looking after what the team left behind, and deciding together what comes next.
