Happy 5th Anniversary, Monkes! 🐒💛
Five years ago, the one and only Solana Monkey Business was born on @solana.
None of us knew then that these pixelated Monkes would bring so many people together, or that the community around them would eventually become @MonkeDAO.
Since then, we’ve shared the highs, weathered the lows, laughed through more chaos than we could ever fit into one post, and watched Solana grow as we grew alongside it.
Five years later, we’re still here - connected by friendships that began behind a PFP, shared memories, and a global community that slowly became home.
Did you really think we’d let this anniversary pass quietly?
Not a chance 👀
So today, we’re looking back at how it all began, how far we’ve come, and the journey that made @MonkeDAO what it is today.
This is for those who were there from Day 1, those who joined us along the way, and everyone who helped shape the story we now share.
Here’s to five years of @SolanaMBS, five years of @MonkeDAO, and everything still ahead of us. 🍌

revived memecoins, defi, NFTs & bottomed bitcoin all at the same time 🐂🀄️
I'm honestly at a loss for words.
Our first Bull King auction just closed for 275 SOL.
To me, this is proof that @blknoiz06 has sparked a genuine cultural shift on CT with $ANSEM.
The Ansem name has become one of the stickiest brands to emerge from Web3 - something that's been built over years, not weeks.
Attention compounds into culture. Culture compounds into loyalty.
We're watching that flywheel accelerate in real time.
And by the way… we’ve been cooking something that we believe will bring NFT season back in full force. Big picture, ecosystem wide type of vibe..
Bulls are going to lead the way. 🐂
