@MonkeDAO @solana Happy 5th monkes!

[MonkeDAO🍌 @MonkeDAO]

Happy 5th Anniversary, Monkes! ���💛

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, we’ve 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, we’re still here - connected by friendships that began behind a PFP, shared memories, and a global community that slowly became home.

Did you really think we’d let this anniversary pass quietly?

Not a chance 👀

So today, we’re looking back at how it all began, how far we’ve 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.

Here’s to five years of @SolanaMBS, five years of @MonkeDAO, and everything still ahead of us. 🍌

Kinda crazy the @DriftProtocol multisig was 2/5 while the @MonkeDAO Strategic Monke Reserve multisig requires 4 of 9 signers.

Jpegs more secure than $250M+.

Longing at numeric meme levels at meme timestamps for the culture.

Been v quiet bc day job consumes most of my free time

But

Still love @MonkeDAO @SolanaMBS

Still love @solana

Dig my day job, don’t see myself leaving voluntarily, but if I do ever get “exited” I would def look for my next gig in the SOL eco

SOL culture is still undefeated

[kridian @kridian_]

Good vibes at the Solana Summer House LA, thx for making it happen @solanaspaces @spenders_club and all the projects filling the space

[kridian @kridian_]

@xNFTpat @MonkeDAO LMK if you ever make it out here, will def show you around!

[kridian @kridian_]

Awesome hangs with some LA monkes to ring in 4 years of @MonkeDAO!

[supersimon @supersimon77]

Los Angeles Monkes turned up to celebrate 4 years of @MonkeDAO and @SolanaMBS 🐒🏖️

[kridian @kridian_]

@xNFTpat @MonkeDAO Hopefully can link in person one day! Been too long since my last London visit

[kridian @kridian_]

@supersimon77 @MonkeDAO Likewise Simon! Always enjoy getting to meet and chat with OG SMBs 😎

[kridian @kridian_]

Cracked my last @SolanaMBS Gen3 barrel just to feel something real (and the mint window is closing in ~24hrs due to @Truffle_HQ shutting down)

Stoked to get a headset monke, one of my all-time favorite attributes across Gen2 + Gen3!

Long live @MonkeDAO! Happy 4th bday SMB!

[kridian @kridian_]

Excited to participate in @mtndao's mtnCapital fund, an experiment in futarchy governace with @MetaDAOProject.

Forward we go 👉

side note: its pretty cool seeing the funds come in: https://t.co/YCpcr2rSzu

[kridian @kridian_]

Life got in the way and I didn’t make it to @mtndao last month but this yet more signal that it’s one of the best parts of the Solana scene in specific, and the tech scene in general. Been going to hackathons and meetups for decades and mtndao is top tier. Forward we go 👉

[mtndao 🗻 @mtndao]

1/ For years, mtndao's startup summits have seen perhaps the highest density of talent in our generation of the internet.

Limitless value, but no way to capture it.

That changes today.

Introducing mtnCapital, a @MetaDAOProject futarchy DAO on @solana powered by $MTN.

@blockiosaurus @metaplex @MetaplexFndn Thank you for everything you’ve contributed, for real 🙌 inspirational

[kridian @kridian_]

@redacted_j Whether it’s price action or dev ex I’ll take my Solana trauma bonding where I can get it

[kridian @kridian_]

@_nighthawk69_ Best of luck, you got this 💪

[kridian @kridian_]

Like many I got fully rekt by the FTX debacle

For many stretches of the past 2.5 years @sunil_trades was the main source of quality info about the bankruptcy estate and ongoing proceedings

Thank you for everything 🙌

[Sunil (FTX Creditor Champion) @sunil_trades]

Many FTX creditors successfully received their claims

It has been a long and difficult 2.5yrs with suicides, depression, divorces - Nov 22 everything was lost

I am grateful and it has been a privilege to fight and represent FTX customers

Truly gave my all to fight for you

I hope I have been able to bring light to your lives when you needed it most

Please stay in touch as will continue to fight for FTX customers outside the bankruptcy with projects/equity airdrops

Can sign up with one here:

Love you all

@0x_seniorxavier @MonkeDAO @SolanaMBS Thx! Dope bandana you got there 🐒

[kridian @kridian_]

Very excited to join the Gen2 Monke fam with this guy! Gen3 holds a special place in my heart as my intro to @MonkeDAO and web3 community in general but it felt like the right time to level up. Looking forward to keeping the vibes going with @SolanaMBS 🐒
