I was part of the @grapeprotocol core team when we launched on @Raydium.
Soon after, with the boom of Hackerhouses, we decided to organize a HackerHouseX (x stands for community, not Foundation organized the event) which turned out to be the first @AthensDAOx, which is wildly considered one of the best HHx ever, organized by @deanmachine , @Whalesfriend @jahris_ and myself.
Can't even name all the OGs who showed up during the 4-day event, among them @SimkinStepan @multisig , @MonkeDAO, @TheOnlyNom before Bonk, Hubble (team before @kamino) and more.
That was the beginning of the path that led us to host our first @islanddao in Crete Greece a couple of years later.
Now, in a week or so, we open the doors for v5 in Brazil.
You can just do things, build and connect alongside the best of the best.

You can always follow @solana online.
@islanddao lets you step inside and experience the ecosystem for a few weeks.

The best Breakpoint conversations start before Breakpoint.
Imagine arriving in London with people you already know, a project you’ve already moved forward, and momentum built over weeks, not minutes.
That’s what @IslandDAO v5 in Brazil can give you ahead of @SolanaEvents Breakpoint.
Live and build alongside the Solana community in Florianópolis.
Meet, collaborate, and form real connections with @solana builders from @SuperteamBR, @SuperteamAR, and beyond.
Then bring that momentum to London.
IslandDAO gives you depth.
Breakpoint gives you scale.
Build in Brazil. Bring it to London. 🏝️→🇬🇧

Most people will look at the new Island Capital raise and think it’s just another on-chain fund.
I think it’s the beginning of a new ownership primitive.
1. This isn’t an investment. It’s a communal vault.
You can withdraw your share of the treasury at regular intervals.
That’s a subtle but important distinction.
Today, thanks to @MetaDAOProject, we have mechanisms where markets can decide whether an entire treasury should be liquidated.
But that’s an all-or-nothing decision.
If one person wants to leave, today they usually sell their tokens. They don’t take their proportional share of the treasury with them.
This is the first time I’m aware of where individuals can exit with their share of the treasury without requiring the project itself to wind down.
That would have fundamentally changed the outcome for projects like @fairscalexyz and @ranger_finance.
I think this becomes a new primitive that eventually extends beyond communal vaults to project raises themselves.
2. This is the most active form of DAO participation I’ve seen.
Most DAOs aren’t dead because governance is impossible.
They’re dead because participation is mostly symbolic.
A whale or the team proposes.
Everyone else reacts.
Here, every token holder can become a capital allocator.
In this vault, someone with $250 of tokens can direct a $2,500 treasury trade within predefined risk parameters.
If they’re right, they earn 25% of the profits.
Responsibility isn’t voted on. It’s earned.
3. This is only practical because of Solana’s composability.
Under the hood this combines @realms, @JupiterExchange and soon @perps into a single coordination mechanism.
This isn’t just about lower fees.
It’s about enabling an institutional design that simply wasn’t practical before.
4. Why participate?
I don’t expect this vault to outperform every memecoin.
That’s not the goal.
The goal is much bigger.
Imagine if Vanguard had been designed from day one so that every participant could help steer capital, and the people with the best judgment gradually earned more responsibility.
That’s the experiment.
I don’t know if this is the future.
But I think it’s worth finding out together.
Almost 24hrs into the IslandCapital raise.
48hrs left.
Not the momentum we were hoping for, but honestly it does not matter.
We will move forward no matter what.
One important distinction about IslandCapital 2.0:
This is NOT an investment raise.
This is NOT a launch of a new coin.
This IS an opportunity for you to experience an entirely new primitive that takes capital coordination to a different level of sophistication and potential.
For everyone participating (or consider participating), you get to hold, bet, call your conviction on assets via the amount of capital you put in AND you get to exit whenever you want during the frequent intervals we've set up.
I know this is not a concept folks are conditioned lately, especially with a million different things going on, to name a few from just the past 24hrs:
- @MetaDAOProject raise for @crediblefin
- @JupiterExchange Gacha launch
- heck, even @VelocityDEX beta launched yesterday
- @jtx_trade launching today
If anything, this proves that distribution is the undisputed grail that everyone is fighting for in this space.
Participating in IslandCapital 2.0 gets you access to one of the most exciting things in crypto rn.
And the best part is you can spectate (and reap any upside), participate, get heavily involved or just exit;
Name other set ups that give you access to a trading group of giga brains in a decentralized, permissionless way and so many levels of involvement
I know for many of you this means nothing, but you will not change my mind that this is the way for a future of crypto with any hope in fulfilling its cypherpunk promise.
I'm proud and pumped for our team and community for fighting tooth and nail to get @ridemarkets and @islanddao the attention they deserve.
And you know what, this will not get the attention of heavy hitters like @toly, @vibhu , @calilyliu @MacroMate8 or @ramzyyalii but i'm being loud anyway because I believe in what we are building.
We keep moving forward. This is the @solana way.
These are the two most exciting things I've ever worked on and it would make me beyond excited if you checked them out.
I'm always here to help and answer any of your questions. Can't shut me up whenever I start talking about the things I'm most passionate about.
Onwards and upwards.

Earlier this year, IslandCapital was the closed-end experiment that ran its course.
IslandCapital 2.0 raise goes live on Monday, 13 July, 20:00 UTC.
$50K cap. Raise will be open for 72 hours.
- open-ended. no lifespan lock.
- $USDC in. shares out.
- hold them. bet them or use them to place calls on @ridemarkets.
- revaluation windows for exit, size-up & new participants.
Less commitment. Same conviction.
Notifications on. 🏝️
