IslandDAO Today

IslandDAO is a network state. Our citizens span the globe, coming together both online and at in-person events to build, collaborate, and shape our collective future.

What is a Network State?

A network state is a digitally-native community with shared identity, governance, and purpose. Unlike traditional organizations bound by borders, network states exist wherever their citizens are. IslandDAO citizens live and work around the world, connected through on-chain governance and united by periodic gatherings at our coworking events.

Global Events

Month-long coworking experiences bringing builders together in paradise locations around the world.

On-Chain Governance

Community-driven decisions using token-based voting, innovative governance experiments, and transparent treasury management.

Citizen Community

A global network of Web3 builders, developers, and contributors committed to collaboration and growth.

Shared Mission

Building the future of decentralized organizations through real-world collaboration and governance innovation.
