Vitalien Buterin

Every chain has memes. ETH has an alien founder.

In January 2022, Vitalik Buterin asked the internet for the craziest and most unhinged criticisms about him, and one viral reply said he “looks like an alien crackhead.” Although the original tweet later disappeared from X, the screenshot and meme spread across crypto communities and became one of the origins of the legendary Vitalik Alien.

From that viral moment was born $VITALIEN 👽, the alien architect of Ethereum sent to decentralize Earth.
