IslandDAO event. In his thread, he describes it as their most ambitious project yet, aimed at accelerating the fusion of in-real-life (IRL) events with onchain applications. For those new to the term, onchain apps are decentralized applications that run directly on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and security without relying on central servers.

The post highlights how last year's event produced over a dozen hackathon winners, and this year, they're stepping it up by hosting their own "launchathon"—a clever twist on hackathon, focusing on launching projects. Takisoul teases more details next week, but it's clear the goal is to refine the flywheel of innovation, where ideas turn into real products faster through community collaboration.

A big reveal in the thread is the upcoming IslandDAO app, led by CTO Tony Boyle and championed by Whalesfriend. This app promises to enhance IRL event experiences on Solana and beyond. Imagine attending conferences like Solana Conf or hacker houses, where you can interact seamlessly with onchain features—think voting on sessions via tokens or minting NFTs as event badges. It's a must-have tool for events worldwide, supercharging them with Solana's high-speed, low-cost blockchain tech.

Takisoul emphasizes how this aligns with the broader "network state" vision, a concept popularized by thinkers like Balaji Srinivasan, where digital communities evolve into coordinated entities with real-world impact. He calls it "proof of coordination," essential for internet-native capital markets. In the meme token world, this could mean better-organized communities rallying around viral projects, turning hype into sustainable ecosystems.

The thread shouts out several powerhouses joining the event:

• ​Metaplex​: An ecosystem for creators to build and integrate NFTs, perfect for meme token artists and collectors.
• ​SolBlaze​: A DeFi leader focused on decentralization, offering tools for liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and more—handy for meme projects looking to add yield mechanics.
• ​Triton​: Providing free RPC services for builders, ensuring smooth development without infrastructure headaches.
• ​Solflare​: Making its island debut, a user-friendly wallet that's key for accessing meme tokens on Solana.
• ​Superteam​ affiliates from various regions, bringing global builders together.

Even fitness gets a nod, with Titan Maker and Solana at DAO offering workouts to keep participants sharp—because in crypto, you need to ship hard and stay fit.

Replies to the post show enthusiasm, with Solflare's marketing lead calling it a "vibe" and others expressing excitement in Greek, hinting at the event's location.

For meme token enthusiasts, IslandDAO represents a fertile ground. Solana's meme scene thrives on community events, where viral ideas spark during meetups and get coded onchain. By bridging IRL and digital, initiatives like this could amplify meme adoption, helping tokens evolve from jokes to utility-driven assets. If you're into Solana memes, keep an eye on IslandDAO—it might just be where the next big pump starts.

As Takisoul wraps up: "The sky is the limit. I'll be there, hbu?" If you're a builder or crypto curious, this could be your invite to join the future of decentralized coordination.
