Hermans is not about the past, is about the future. First mainstream collection to mint on Metaplex Core, most successful blinks presale campaign to date, unique curation approach with innovative tech, and this is just the beginning. 21 types of fur, 58 pieces of clothing, 19

This actually happened a few weeks ago but I decided to join @okaybears after their recent updates in NYC. When I buy into a project it's for the long run and it feels like OKB is one of the strongest bets in that horizon. Also, joining @ukaybears will 100x the experience!

NFTs are dead, long live NFTs!. so @MonkeDAO is about to sell out 100 rooms in 3 different hotels for @SolanaConf in September. Communities will always be fundamental to the growth of web3 and NFTs are the glue that keep people together. MonkeDAO was one of the pioneers in this

Seems like today we're back to bashing on @MonkeDAO!. If you've been around for long, you know we'll see a lot more of this type of posts as we get into the elections. But there's an important question in here: Why would someone join MonkeDAO?. The answer is in the details. 🧵.
for those that aren't currently in the discord, do you still aspire to join monkeDAO?.

This is the first time I do anything like this but I honestly feel like this one of those moments when MonkeDAO really needs its members to step up and play an active role towards the future of the DAO. If you're curious, this is my application:

Alright seems like it's Degen season so it seemed appropriate to be repping my @DegenApeAcademy for now. This was actually my first buy of 2023 (Jan 1st at 3pm) and it felt like a great way to start the year. Will we see DAA reclaiming that #1 spot by the end of this year?

Really really excited to take on this role in the core @BuildWithMonkes team! . @MonkeDAO has always been the OG community for builders and with the BWMD program we can effectively support the people shaping the future of web3 🚀. Find me in Dubai during next week and I'm more.
It's with great pleasure we get to announce @0xDistro_ is joining the BuildWithMonkeDAO core team!. Lets get to know Distro a little better! 🐒 👇

So Charlie and Beanie make some great points here but let me add a bit of an insiders (SOL maxi) perspective. What if there was a specific category primed to bring back those juicy 100x returns that changed so many people's lives?. Here's my bullish thesis for Solana NFTs 🐂👇.
Kept this post from Beanie because it touched interesting points that I wanted to circle back to. So much so that I can agree with a lot of those. Here's my rationale and why the TL;DR for now is you should probably pay attention to @TheHermansClub launch tomorrow (1/10)

It's important to note, specially if you're not used to Solana's composition, that 99% of what you need to build on chain is already available to use. Unless you're working in that 1%, you will never need to deploy a new program. Been building for 3 years in Solana and never.

Streaks have been one of the hallmarks of the OKB brand in the last couple of months but is that really positive for the brand long term?. Let's look at some of the positive and negative effects behind streaks and what can be a better option for long term engagement. Buckle up!🧵.
Since we've launched Badges and Streaks on we have seen the Bears dominate the timeline with GMs, winning NFTs, merch, & now we have broken our previous record for the number of OkB PFPs on Twitter!. How many impressions did we gather?. Over 25 million.

A long way to go until Hermans can achieve the same status as these legends. This is just the aspiration, the vision, the north star. We've had a rough start, but it's time to create our own path towards that future. Everyone loves a good underdog story after all 🧡.

One of the most bullish things about @okaybears is the amount of smaller communities that are moving the project forward independently from the main team. Wish to see more of this in other projects!. Grateful to be part of @OKBparents @UkayBears @OKBRDAO #WAGBO💚

Had a few people reaching out to me about using blinks in the latest Hermans campaign so I thought it would be a great opportunity to share a bit of the experience building actions/blinks and some of the main takeaways from it. Before I start let me just say that even though
Hermans have raised a record-breaking 1600 SOL via blinks!. 40% of the collection now SOLD OUT. The 7060 applicants who didn't get approved for presale - You will be WL. Now it's time for mint. DATE ANNOUNCEMENT ON MONDAY🔔

It's election time at @MonkeDAO!. This week I'm going to be reflecting on my journey as exec and talk about some of the hot topics for the future. Let's start with a simple one: can MonkeDAO ever find an operational structure that works?. Maybe not so simple after all. 😅

@nigeleccles I think that's the end game for Base and others tbh, even though they will never say that. The main argument is "security" and whatnot but in reality we've seen that people don't actually care about any of that and if Coinbase can "secure" their own chain and give enough.

So this is awesome and it's great to see a web3 brand getting closer to "mainstream" adoption, but for me this is one of the most bullish events for Solana in a long time. Sounds weird?. Let's look at how projects can build similar experiences today for a fraction of the cost 👇.

The moment has arrived. The Only Possible on Solana (OPOS) Hackathon is now live. TL;DR — pick from over 25 tracks from Solana's finest teams, build cool things, get paid, make a name for yourself, and drive change. Build the future of crypto and Solana. 👇

That's right, @TheHermansClub is minting tomorrow and I think this will be one of those defining moments for the future of Solana NFTs. Yes it's a bit of grand statement and I'm super biased for obvious reasons but let me try to break down why I'm so bullish on this project. ⭐.

MonkeDAO members have also been shaping the Solana ecosystem since the very beginning. From @jnwng at the @SolanaFndn to @rawfalafel at @orca_so to @blockiosaurus at @metaplex, and the list goes on and on. The network effect at @MonkeDAO is real and that shows!.
MonkeDAO is taking the Solana ecosystem by storm! We've always had a very active role in shaping the future of Solana, and now we're bringing the famous monke vibes to @SolanaConf with an EPIC lineup of speakers. Check out the schedule and show some love for our fellow monkes!

First of all this is exactly what makes @MonkeDAO what it is!. If no one cared, if there was no fud, if no one would use it for engagement I'd be very worried. This is very bullish for the future of DAO as each election helps shaping the focus for the next months.

So here it is, my journey from $23 in ETH to $7.6 in SOL!. All of this really makes me appreciate even more what we have in the Solana ecosystem and every day I'm more confident of one thing. The next billion will not get to web3 through EVM chains #OPOS.

Highly recommend everyone building in web3 to look at the replies because they are full of great insights. @R89Capital is raising a great point and it's very important to always question what we're really building here. But there's a lot more to it. time for a "little" story! 🧵.

Great to see the @Sonarwatch team getting a shout out from SBB!. Here's a fun fact for you: if you've been through the application process for @TheHermansClub, all of the DeFi data was gathered using Sonar's APIs and plugged into the unique scoring system so even if you didn't.
Huge shoutout to @Sonarwatch. Have found so much $$ I had forgotten about from my heavy SOL Defi usage back in 2021. I highly recommend if you were playing with a ton of protocols back in the day to pop your addresses into their Portfolio tool to see if anything pops up.

But that's not enough!. In fact @MonkeDAO has a very particular value prop that is often disregarded: it's a fully incorporated DAO, one of the only ones in the entire crypto ecosystem. That means that @SolanaMBS is one of the only NFT projects to be owned by a DAO. .

The answer is quite simple actually, it's the people. @MonkeDAO's focus has always been the people. From the discord "degenacy" to the epic events, MonkeDAO has always been the place for networking, making meaningful connections or just vibing.
There's a reason why @MonkeDAO is just built different. Hype is temporary, but SMB is forever 💎. Today we celebrate Solana by spreading the monke vibes everywhere!. Here's a new banger from @_monkemusic dropping tomorrow, exclusively on Banana Stand and @vaultmusichq 🎧

This is a great example of that. I do agree that we can make it even easier for devs that aren't as familiar with Solana or blockchain development in general and that's why we're building @GetGlazedHQ with a specific focus on consumer experiences.
a big difference between Solana and Ethereum dev is that Solana reduces the need to write onchain programs. there are a bunch of master programs for tokens, staking, NFTs, etc that you can simply plug in to via JavaScript and ship something

But the question remains, why would someone want to join @MonkeDAO?. Let's start with the basics and ask a more relevant question:. How is @SolanaMBS consistently in the top3 of Solana NFT projects for the last 2.5 years with no fixed team, no roadmap, no airdrops, no tokens?.
