[Dimos @dimos851]

Sometimes you just gotta do the thing. See you soon friends @islanddao

[Dimos @dimos851]

@islanddao @Whalesfriend @solana Maaan no way

[Dimos @dimos851]

@DeFiTracer Easy to invest with other people’s money

[Dimos @dimos851]

@marclou Only obvious in retrospect. Could have turned out differently. Played it safe. That's a win

[Dimos @dimos851]

Well I just booked all 4 weeks. See you on the island frens! 💦🏝️

[IslandDAO 🏝️ @islanddao]

What started as an event, became a series of events, it became a movement.

Long before the events, Islanddao has been around since the early days of the Solana ecosystem.

A group of power users. A Service DAO. A Network State. A movement. 🏝️

With just three events in little more than a year, Islanddao has already cemented itself as one of the most prominent irl events and communities for builders.

It's only natural we're expanding.
New leaders emerge, new destinations, new tech.

2026 will be our most expansive year yet, with (at least) two destinations:

- Koh Samui, Thailand, 03-28 June 2026 🇹🇭
- Florianópolis, Brazil, October 2026 🇧🇷

@SuperteamBR will be leading the charge in Brazil and we are excited to pass the baton and grow. Together.

Two months of connecting, shipping, coordinating and putting amazing blockchain tech to actual use.
The NFT, the mobile app and more.

Scaling Keeping IslandDAO for the future

The Islanddao model has always been about hosting, empowering, connecting the best builders and founders in exceptional venues and locations all around the world, while expanding the movement to more and more countries.

We’re thankful about our incredible sponsors who’ve been supporting us over the years but in order to make Islanddaos sustainable, starting from v4, a paid ticket will be required in order to attend.

To ensure we can continue expanding to more countries and providing the world-class experience you’ve come to expect, we are evolving our model.

Starting with Islanddao v4 in Thailand, we are introducing a ticketed entry 🎟️

This isn't just a fee; it’s an investment in the community.
Each ticket covers a week of access to the event:
Five days in our premium co-working house, plus an exclusive weekend adventure.

Ticket sales for IslandDAO v4 Thailand are now live, and we’re doing things differently. 🇹🇭

Islanddao isn't just a physical location.
It’s a digital ecosystem.

At the heart of our hackerhouse is the Islanddao PERKS collection.
We’ve re-invented the NFT experience through our custom app, turning your onchain identity into the "operating system" for your time at the event.

Your PERK NFT is not just a collectible; it is essential infrastructure. It's your power to shape Islanddao!

Run the event onchain

Vote on house decisions and influence the event’s direction, including Launchathons and Hackathon participation and collective decision-making.

House Interactions

Your PERK is your key to the physical world—from entering trading competitions and signing up for workshops to completing location-based missions that trigger in-app rewards and surprises.

Here is how the v4 ticketing system works:
The Ticket & The NFT

Every IslandDAO ticket is anchored to an NFT.

This isn't just a digital collectible—it is the essential infrastructure that grants you access to all our on-chain events and the co-working house.

For the IslandDAO Family:
If you already hold a PERK NFT, our app makes it seamless to attach your ticket to your existing on-chain identity.

For New Builders:
Your journey starts by joining the wider IslandDAO family. Before securing your ticket, you’ll need to acquire an NFT from our PERKS collection.

This NFT is your essential onchain identity—once you have it, you're ready to purchase your ticket and unlock the full hackerhouse experience.

The Ultimate Perk: Free VIP Access

The "All 12 animals” legend is real.
We reward our most dedicated collectors who have powered this movement from the start:

Hold all 12 animals from the Perks collection?
You are eligible for a VIP Pass. This grants you full access to the entire event for free.

Ready to ship in Thailand?

Whether you are a long-time holder or joining us for the first time, your journey starts on-chain. Secure your spot for the week(s) you want to attend and experience the future of blockchain-integrated living.

@teller 👋
Any plans to support banks in Canada?

[Dimos @dimos851]

This has proven harder than expected but I got some really good feedback

I'm iterating on
- product
- pricing
- landing page

and will get that sale in 2026!

[Dimos @dimos851]

I’ve given myself until the end of the year to make 1 sale for wealthsync now that the MVP is finished

1 single sale

[Dimos @dimos851]

This tells me I need to find more subreddits around personal finance where I can post

I got some good feedback. I'll iterate for a few days and relaunch

This time I'll include Hacker News and maybe Product Hunt as well

[Dimos @dimos851]

Spent 10 days on Reddit

- 54,000 total views across 5 posts and 3 subreddits
- 400 unique visitors on wealthsync
- 13 signups
- $0 revenue

That's a 3.25% conversion rate from page view to signup

All 13 signups came from a single post on r/mintuit

[Dimos @dimos851]

I’ve been paying too much attention to subreddits like r/webdev and r/sideproject

But sharing in niche related ones is so much more powerful

Like everything else, pretty obvious in retrospect..

This is getting less eyes in comparison, but already brought in 2 signups

[Dimos @dimos851]

@klattkev @jonathan_wilke @nextjs localhost will actually be slower as routes aren’t prefetched

[Dimos @dimos851]

Launching on Reddit is cool but I think TikTok will have a much higher ROI. I should just build the mobile app and do TikTok

[Dimos @dimos851]

Built something else

A Macrodata Refinement simulator for my bank transactions

Curious to see how this markets

[Dimos @dimos851]

Launched this on r/webdev and r/SideProject, got a combined

Gotta keep trying

wealthsync is now a mindmap for your money 💸
