Part one of a 🧵 series on the history of the DAO and how we came to be, who we are, and a preview of what we've accomplished to date. 🍌↓

We are the OG Solana community. The first Solana NFT DAO. The original Buildoors.

@MonkeDAO coalesced independently in the Summer of 2021. Formed by technologists, devs, crypto natives, and the crypto curious alike - they all simply loved their @SolanaMBS PFPs. ↓

</aside>

@MonkeDAO drove value directly to Solana Monkey Business, propelling it to become the 1st collection to reach over one million $SOL in sales, culminating in the highest-ever NFT sale in the history of the blockchain. ↓

Organically, the DAO and its leadership have fostered one of the most active communities across any blockchain driving value directly to the membership.

Today we have 1,700+ members in a thriving, global community of super-active, passionately engaged, and highly influential Monkes! ↓

We value IRL social interaction, it enhances Web3. At Breakpoint 2022, @MonkeDAO hosted 9 events. 🍻

It had 20 pages of coverage in our Banana Split Newsletter! 🤯↓

A special Breakpoint Tweet from one of MD's co-founders @jemmmyjemm - Monkes love to network, eat, and imbibe! ↓

Even after 9 official events lined up for Breakpoint, our monkes still took the initiative to organize side events like this Korean BBQ to bring fellow monkes together!

Great time over authentic KBBQ and soju bombs!🇵🇹

Our Monkes truly are Buildoors and have shipped products to the broader Solana and Web3 ecosystems since our inception.

Below are just a few notable examples. ↓

The Alpha Team continues to thrive and provides WL & presale opportunities to the best upcoming projects to our Monkes.

From being judges at Solana Hackathons to speaking on panels, and even launching our own @DaoPool - bolstering the ecosystem and providing direct support to our network where most of our Monkes live and play. ↓

Each SOL staked in the pool is distributed to the @solana communities' validators, with the goal of further decentralizing the network while also supporting all DAOs.

Open to everyone, we're stewards to all! ↓

Today, MonkeDAO is excited to announce our #BuildWithMonkes Grant Program!

This will be open to ALL in our BuildwithMonkeDAO Discord 👉 discord.gg/2AGJBrwQJ7

This is made possible in part by collaborating with the @SolanaFndn to build more together!

Recently we had a proposal pass with incredible "voter turnout", good enough to rival any other active NFT DAO! 🐒↓

@nounsdao has probably the most active governance participation around, and their average voter turnout is 34.8% over its last 100 completed proposals

Currently there are 604 Nouns and 1811 MonkeDAO members twitter.com/MonkeDAO/statu… twitter.com/MonkeDAO/status/1623396950493040648
