We started with quick intros around the table. Just each Monke sharing what they do, what they’re building, and how they ended up in this corner of @solana ecosystem.

- @validotxyz, a digital nomad, also a member of
@creatorarchq - bet you've been seeing him everywhere in @MonkeDAO community

- @qbuttonphd & @nftbutton: the digital nomad married couple. They're running @lifeoutofthebox which shares their lifestyle, travel adventures and tips for living abroad.

- @bytesbybree, the Indie Contributor @SuperteamMY. I also watched her moderating one of the best lightning debate at W3BS

- Leo @sqrdao_intern, @DoFaros, and @kaitlynthewitch from @sqrDAO, the main organizers of W3BS. Amazed to know that they've been Monke holders since 2024.

- @wizardoffloz, former @save_finance, the lending protocol on Solana. He's now helping projects to discover and set foot in the Solana ecosystem 🙏

- @hominh95 gtm at @0xProject. I know he's wearing a Pudgy and he's operating on Ethereum but can confirm that he's strongholding Monke and has been active in the community

- @harrybui31, Analyst at @harrybui31. The only VC guy being at Monke meetup so got a chance to ask a lot of questions about his view on the current capital market.

- @faynguyen071, Creator of @gaian_hq, the Stablecoin-powered neobank building payment infrastructure for cross-border transactions in APAC.

- @nntruonghan wagie at @dwarvesf, the Vietnamese software engineering company founded in 2015, specializing in product development and R&D.

GM. Week 1 at @ns in Forest City.

Living in a “startup city” for the next month surrounded by builders working on AI, crypto, & emerging tech.

We’ve spent years exploring how place + community shape what gets built.

Now we get to live inside that experiment.

@SuperteamMY has honestly been one of the most welcoming builder communities I’ve experienced in Southeast Asia.

Not hype. Not noise.

Just real people building on Solana.

[Button @nftbutton]

If you’re living in Malaysia and curious about Solana, just go to one meetup.

You don’t need to be an expert.
You don’t need permission.

Just show up.

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment on @refikanadol
They asked whether AI art can really be art.
To me, that’s not even a real debate.
@qbuttonphd and I are honored to own multiple pieces of his work.
