SOLANA PROSPERA RECAP

We brought founders and Solana enthusiasts to Roatán. A paradise island in Honduras and a special economic zone where you can literally pay for your mortgage, taxes, or even morning coffee in crypto.

All of this happened inside @ProsperaGlobal, one of the most forward-thinking jurisdictions in the world.

Our mission?

To help founders recharge their bodies and minds, and to deepen their knowledge of @solana.

Over 29 days, we hosted:

• 60 wellness sessions: yoga, meditation, workouts, cold plunges, and running;

• 25 workshops: business, community, and longevity;

• 16 social activities: charity events, cacao ceremonies, healthy parties, and plogging.

And the results spoke for themselves:

✧ 80% joined wellness activities at least 4 times/week
✧ 100% reported higher energy, focus, and resilience
✧ 100% would recommend the program to a friend

Huge thanks to everyone who made this possible:

Hosting side: @_Lonis_, @andysz, @gabedelgadoa, @erickbrimen, @GeorgeColindres and whole Prospera team; @NiklasAnzinger, @bykaraisabella and @infinitacity fam;

Partners: @metaplex, @mew, @beincrypto, @nomadz_co, @triton_one, @LunarStrategy, @KumekaTeam, @Founder_Haus, @solus_group and Freedom Business Summit.

Core team: @ivan_nomadz, @tarasss13, @dimaforemnyi, @N4vigateCrypto, @bogdan_nomadz, @cryptoyavorskyi. @john_of_techno.

And of course, a massive thanks to all participants. It was a privilege to evolve together.

Part one is complete. Part two is loading…
