Why MonkeDAO was the obvious choice?

When we started thinking about Tramplin's first community partnership, we asked a simple question: who actually built something real on Solana?The answer kept coming back to the same name - @MonkeDAO.

What is MonkeDAO

MonkeDAO isn’t just another NFT collection - they’re Solana OGs.One of the earliest and most active communities in the ecosystem. They showed up when the network was still figuring itself out, and they never left.

While other communities came and went with the market cycles, MonkeDAO kept building.

They shipped infrastructure, funded projects, supported developers and maintained a culture that prioritised genuine participation over speculation.

That’s rare. And it’s exactly the kind of community Tramplin was built for.

Why this partnership makes sense

Tramplin is for people who want to participate in Solana's upside without putting everything on the line to do it.

> Long-term stakers and people who believe in the network.That’s MonkeDAO. They’ve been around long enough to see every cycle, every narrative, every overpromise and underdeliver.

Most importantly: They don't need convincing that Solana is worth building on, they already proved it with their time and capital years ago.That’s exactly why this partnership looks the way it does.

The bigger picture

This is the first of many collabs. But we wanted the first one to set a tone.We're here to build with communities that share the same values: long-term thinking and a genuine stake in Solana's future.MonkeDAO is that. More are coming...
