Well folks, that's the show.

mtndao X is a wrap. 🏔️

This iconic 10th iteration embodied everything mtndao has always stood for:

Push your velocity.
Meet others who are doing the same.

Capped off by a @Solana Demo Day that was somehow even better than the last one, take a deep dive at what it was like to be here this August:

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

Are you missing the energy yet?

Fall rages on.
The leaves are turning.

But the mountain?
It doesn’t sleep.

MTNeers are around the world right now:

Seoul.
Singaore.
And soon:

London.

Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone.

A REAL iPhone, not a simulator.

Enormous congrats to longtime MTNeer @tj_littlejohn & the team 🏔️

Introducing Tapkit

Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone. Tell it to do anything and it can use your phone to do it.

We've been iterating on Tapkit over the last few months with our earliest users and finally feel like it's ready for general use. Today it is easy to use, supports any agent, and can even use multiple iPhones at the same time.

There are so many great things that we can do with this new primitive, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it with you.

Try it now: https://t.co/fKqCxlYo0G

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

mtndao X was a music video.

1 month.
14,000 square feet.
A 24/7 pressure cooker that launched mtndao's most impressive Demo Day yet.

But before there was demo day, there was a month packed with velocity and heart.

Relive August with us and get ready for February:

[Awetu Magege @AwetuMagege]

very excited for the future of @theprophetfun!! much more to come we got big plans for the future of agentic predictions

bare w me on a quick appreciate post this my first one lol

first off this project was a direct culmination of getting more involved in the @solana eco. we've had the idea of a prediction agent for awhile at @TradeLeagueHQ

but then I got to @mtndao and everything changed - I was exposed to all the different ways founders are building and growing their projects - and that's where we first started thinking about building this out

there are plenty of AI forecasters and even a few that are tokenized - but what if there was one that could learn from the crowd and compile their collective insights into trade theses? what if it could actually execute these theses? what if you could allow retail access to those trades and even execute pm trades on their behalf? what if you could have more than a stake in the agent and actually use the token to steer it's decisions?

3 weeks later @theprophetfun was born. huge s/o to @mtndao for providing the melting pot to mold this idea. much love to the @SP3NDdotshop boys @jpsychedelic369 @kenton_cooley for inspiring us to do this and @agentheights for giving us the confidence to pull the trigger! and ofc none of this would be possible wo/ @HajiMagege who went from zero to MVP in less than 10 days 💪

we're just getting started got a lot more to build! oh and if you think we forgot about @TradeLeagueHQ you're trippin

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

Did you watch long enough to catch the flying hot dog?

mtndao X was incredible.

10 mtndaos.
5 years.

One relentlessly fired up month.

Relive August with us through the @skyrisecreative Week 2 highlight reel, and get ready for February:

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

@SolanaEvents @superteam @colosseum @islanddao @cstldao @SolanaSkyline @solanaspaces @MeteoraEco interesting

[SKYRISE | Creative Agency @skyrisecreative]

We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to capture @mtndao without changing the way it feels.

Hearing @edgarpavlovsky say this means a lot.

[Pavan @pavankat]

1/ I did a Space with the founders of @LevMnyc
• They're building calls and puts on prediction markets, on Solana
• Nobody has shipped this yet. Here's what I learned:

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

@iarlacrewe @edgarpavlovsky @barrett_io LONG LIVE THE MTN 🔥

[iarla @iarlacrewe]

Still thinking about how good mtndao was, even on its 10th iteration, even in the bear market.

Hard to find that concentration of talent and craic anywhere else on Earth.

@edgarpavlovsky, @barrett_io, and team doing an unreal job as always.

Roll on v11.

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

mtndao was a BLAST.

10 mtndaos.
5 years.
Our first year of Demo Day, produced by @solana.

So much action in between, and this summer was no different.

Still thinking about this @skyrisecreative intro from the Week 1 hype reel:

[TradeLeague 🏆 @TradeLeagueHQ]

"Trading has always been social. Being able to really put your money where your mouth is though... that's new."

@edgarpavlovsky and @barrett_io get it. Do you? 🗻

[Norswap 🏴‍☠️✨ @norswap]

I had the chance to attend the latest mtndao, and it was genuinely a blast! I'll be back!

[Jacob Creech @jacobvcreech]

MtnDAO brings the most senior talent on Solana each year together in one place

A place where talent can thrive, build new ideas, and create something longer lasting

I'll see you in the Mtn next time 🫡

[winston @stablewinston]

Earlier this year at @mtndao v9, @trystable introduced tokenized mortgages on @solana. Since then we spent every day with brokers, lenders, and teams making them real. At MtnDAO X we introduced Stable's blockchain mortgage suite, now in closed beta for lenders.

What it targets:
➡ Loan funding in 15 minutes, 24/7/365
➡ Same-day liquidity in the secondary market

Each of those changes the game for trillions of dollars of newly originated assets a year, that until now took days to get funded and weeks to find liquidity.

To make that happen we built something new: Baum Review, our AI agent for mortgage document review and management. It runs inside the lender suite to speed transactions along. Blockchain + stablecoins + AI onchain.

If you are a mortgage lender, reach out! We have liquidity for you.

mtnDAO is the GOAT🐐

[SKYRISE | Creative Agency @skyrisecreative]

A month on the mountain, somehow squeezed into four minutes.

We spent August capturing the people, the work, and everything that happened in between.

mtndao X, that’s a wrap.

“Prime brokerage is one of the holy grails of on-chain finance.” @edgarpavlovsky

Big shoutout to @mtndao & @SolanaEvents for putting it all together! 🙌
