what's mtnDAO?
mtnDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization centered on the Solana ecosystem, renowned for hosting intensive developer retreats and startup summits in mountainous regions like Utah. These events gather top crypto talent for month-long collaborations, hackathons, and networking, fostering breakthroughs in Solana-based projects through in-person energy that virtual settings can't replicate. Sponsors like the Solana Foundation support unlimited amenities, emphasizing community-driven innovation. mtnDAO has evolved to launch mtnCapital, a futarchy-powered investment DAO on Solana governed by the $MTN token. This experimental fund uses prediction markets for decision-making, aiming to capture value from summit networks via tokenized governance and investments in crypto startups.
