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.
The Journey
From Dean's List to IslandDAO
How a community of Web3 power users evolved from providing feedback services into one of Solana's most active DAOs and network states.
The Dean's List Era
Launched as a subDAO of Grape Protocol, bringing together Solana power users to provide rigorous feedback to emerging protocols.
Global Expansion
Regional teams formed in Nigeria and Brazil, creating local chapters to bring Web3 education and opportunities to their communities.
The Evolution Begins
We realized the strongest bonds and best ideas emerged when members came together in person. The first IslandDAO coworking events launched in Crete and Ko Samui.
Mykonos & Perks NFT
Hosted our third coworking event in Mykonos, Greece, launched the Perks NFT collection, and developed our own mobile app for on-chain event experiences.
IslandDAO 2026
Two major events this year: IslandDAO Thailand in June and IslandDAO Brazil in October-November. Continuing to grow our network state and bring builders together across the globe.
