Why MonkeDAO?
Monkes are some of the most valuable NFTs of all-time.
MonkeDAO was originally founded as a community celebrating Solana Monkey Business, one of Solana’s first and most prominent NFT collections.
SMB was the first collection to reach over one million SOL in sales - this strong growth sparked Solana’s NFT bull market and culminated in the highest ever NFT sale in the history of the blockchain.
The collection’s value has held strong even in the bear market, and is frequently referred to as the ‘CryptoPunks of Solana’ due to its provenance and long-term potential.

We may all be Monkes on the internet, but nothing beats human interaction. One of MonkeDAO’s core community strategies is to promote and facilitate real life meetings for our members in order to strengthen interpersonal ties within the DAO network, and provide added value beyond the computer screen.
