"Owning a monke should be akin to owning a passport to a sovereign nation, a self-sustaining ecosystem where members are given access to opportunities within."
We’re the first community-owned and operated NFT DAO on Solana
As the first NFT DAO on Solana, MonkeDAO sets the standard for decentralized governance and innovation. From grassroots origins to becoming a pioneering force in Web3, explore our journey through key milestones, challenges, and transformative achievements.
We’ve built one of the most engaged and professional organizations in Web3.0
Our vision is to be the Premier Web3 Country Club, bringing a network of crypto curious & builders alike together through our curated online & offline experiences.
Inclusive Governance
Our governance model is the de facto standard for DAOs across Solana — open to all members while Gen2 holders cast the final on-chain vote on proposals.
Decentralized Leadership
Our leadership team is globally distributed, with the Lead Executive and Board Members elected annually to uphold decentralized governance.
Community First
Our greatest strength is our community. We’re committed to keeping our focus community-first, always. It’s this unwavering dedication that sets us apart from any other community.
We champion the Solana ecosystem while contributing to the broader crypto landscape.
As the premier Web3.0 community, our mission is to expand the MonkeDAO ecosystem by incubating, investing, and working alongside the most promising and ambitious Web3.0 teams to further drive innovation and adoption.
Our Team
Meet the MonkeDAO leadership. The team is made up of a Lead Executive, along with 4 appointed executives, 5 board of directors members, a treasurer, in-house council, and an observer.
Every year (known as an epoch), a DAO-wide election is held, where members are encouraged to nominate themselves and vote on who will lead the DAO.
There are 5 total executive positions, and each member is expected to serve the vision of the community, put voted proposals and surveys into action, incorporate and maintain MonkeDAO as an entity, and serve on DAO committees as a representative of the community.
