Solana Meme Coin DARE Developer Suffers Severe Burns Live Streaming Token Pump

Solana meme coin DARE developer Mikol has reportedly suffered third-degree burns after dousing himself in alcohol and lighting fireworks during a live-streamed token pump. Mikol, the developer behind Solana's token, attempted to pump the token by setting himself on fire in what appears to have been a staged event. The incident occurred during an online event that was live-streamed to the DARE community. According to Decrypt, Mikol suffered "severe burns over 35% of his body." He was immediately rushed to Miami's Ryder Trauma Center where he is currently receiving treatment. The extent of his injuries is unknown, but sources tell Decrypt that they may have been life-threatening. This is not the first time that a DARE developer has been injured in a stunt. In 2021, another developer was injured after attempting to eat a live scorpion. The developer suffered severe burns on his face and throat, but was eventually able to recover. The DARE community has reacted with shock and disbelief to the news of Mikol's injuries. Several members of the community have expressed concern for his well-being and have offered their support during this difficult time. The incident has also raised questions about the safety of live-streamed token pumps and other risky stunts that have become popular in the cryptocurrency community.
