Happy 5th Anniversary, Monkes! ๐๐
Five years ago, the one and only Solana Monkey Business was born on @solana.
None of us knew then that these pixelated Monkes would bring so many people together, or that the community around them would eventually become @MonkeDAO.
Since then, weโve shared the highs, weathered the lows, laughed through more chaos than we could ever fit into one post, and watched Solana grow as we grew alongside it.
Five years later, weโre still here - connected by friendships that began behind a PFP, shared memories, and a global community that slowly became home.
Did you really think weโd let this anniversary pass quietly?
Not a chance ๐
So today, weโre looking back at how it all began, how far weโve come, and the journey that made @MonkeDAO what it is today.
This is for those who were there from Day 1, those who joined us along the way, and everyone who helped shape the story we now share.
Hereโs to five years of @SolanaMBS, five years of @MonkeDAO, and everything still ahead of us. ๐

First 10 days of ONyc and PT-ONyc loops (with USDT incentives) on @Loopscale . 14-16% buffer. Great numbers for a bear market. 19 and 49% APY respectively.
I've survived 3 bear markets for this moment
I'm joining @SolanaFndn as Head of Product Marketing
I've been in this space long enough to know the difference between another cycle and a real shift
This is a shift
Stablecoins have processed $21.5 trillion in onchain transfer volume since January with Solana hitting $650B in stablecoin volume last month - more than any chain ever
Stablecoin volume on Solana overtook Ethereum in December and Real World Assets on just hit an ATH crossing $2B
Visa, PayPal, Worldpay, SoFi and the world's biggest financial players are building on the network
And this is just the first wave
The path for real adoption of onchain finance is finally becoming clear
And Solana is where it's happening
The most transactions processed, the most active addresses, the most developers
It's Solana's time
I'm joining to help the whole ecosystem grow by helping more businesses and people understand and use the network for payments, trading, finance, and whatever comes next
In my career I've marketed to 250M+ users, built institutional brands from scratch, developed growth programs that scale, managed global campaigns, and brought communities and builders together across the world
Everything I've learned goes toward one thing now
Making Solana win
Let's cook
