We’ll support you to meet the humans behind the jpegs.
On the internet, we may just be Monke JPEGs, but nothing beats in-person human interactions. One of MonkeDAO’s core community strategies is to promote and facilitate real-life meetings for our members in order to strengthen interpersonal ties within the DAO network, and provide added value beyond the computer screen. We support our members in organising their own local chapter meetups through our community grants.
MonkeDAO has hosted sold out community events alongside the largest web 3.0 gatherings in over 28 cities around the world.
