Well folks, that's the show.
mtndao X is a wrap. 🏔️
This iconic 10th iteration embodied everything mtndao has always stood for:
Push your velocity.
Meet others who are doing the same.
Capped off by a @Solana Demo Day that was somehow even better than the last one, take a deep dive at what it was like to be here this August:
Are you ready to build an empire?
@ImperialPerps just revamped their Points system, and there's an entire quest behind it now:
1) Start as a freeman (0)
2) Grow through becoming a merchant (500), Patrician (10k) and a Senator (25k) all the way to ruling as Emperor (50k)
Qualify through trading volume, hold time and OI.
Nuanced gamification and sophisticated playstyle backed by a robust rules system.
You love to see it.

twice a year, @barrett_io and i host an entrepreneurship summit that brings hundreds of founders from around the world to the mountains.
every time we run it, i'm consistently stunned by what people build out of MTN HQ.
97 days until february
Breakpoint is coming - you can feel it in the air. 🇬🇧
You know what comes after Breakpoint.. right?
As @solana prepares for its pinnacle conference, and the London city winds begin to blow, feel your adventurous soul pull you to new MTN summits.
UNDER 100 DAYS TO FEBRUARY

Some of the best things to come out of @solanaturbine happened @mtndao. One of biggest paradigm shifting ideas was unearthed at mtndao. little something here about institutions and co op models that was unearthed nearly a year and a half ago at mtndao finally getting set into motion this year

.@aikidoapp founder Dus on how they plan to compete with OpenAI and Anthropic, and why better open-source models are good for them:
"The wonderful part is, as Hermes gets better, as these open-source models get better, we inherently get better, because we're not directly competing with these. We're building around these harnesses and these models."
"So when Kimi K4, K5 comes out, amazing, that's great for us. We can still arbitrage and add some margin on these models."
"Every time they release a new model, people keep complaining that, oh yeah, I'm running out of usage. I have a prediction, and it's not just a prediction. I think we already see it happening."
"I think they're going to move away from subscription-based pricing to API-based pricing. In Codex, I think you can add credits. In Claude, you can add more credits."
"They're going to make it normal that you pay $500 subscriptions, or even add 150 bucks, because it brings so much value."
"I think for Aikido, since we're based around open-source models, our cost is basically the inference cost. So we might be able to compete with that kind of pricing, because right now, with Codex and Claude Code, with these $200 plans, I don't know if they're making money on these plans."

Can't wait till my 5th straight @mtndao in February! 🗻🏂 – at Sunnyvale, CA
Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone.
A REAL iPhone, not a simulator.
Enormous congrats to longtime MTNeer @tj_littlejohn & the team 🏔️
Introducing Tapkit
Tapkit is a Mac app that lets your agents use your iPhone. Tell it to do anything and it can use your phone to do it.
We've been iterating on Tapkit over the last few months with our earliest users and finally feel like it's ready for general use. Today it is easy to use, supports any agent, and can even use multiple iPhones at the same time.
There are so many great things that we can do with this new primitive, but I didn't want to wait any longer to share it with you.
Try it now: tapkit.ai

very excited for the future of @theprophetfun!! much more to come we got big plans for the future of agentic predictions
bare w me on a quick appreciate post this my first one lol
first off this project was a direct culmination of getting more involved in the @solana eco. we've had the idea of a prediction agent for awhile at @TradeLeagueHQ
but then I got to @mtndao and everything changed - I was exposed to all the different ways founders are building and growing their projects - and that's where we first started thinking about building this out
there are plenty of AI forecasters and even a few that are tokenized - but what if there was one that could learn from the crowd and compile their collective insights into trade theses? what if it could actually execute these theses? what if you could allow retail access to those trades and even execute pm trades on their behalf? what if you could have more than a stake in the agent and actually use the token to steer it's decisions?
3 weeks later @theprophetfun was born. huge s/o to @mtndao for providing the melting pot to mold this idea. much love to the @SP3NDdotshop boys @jpsychedelic369 @kenton_cooley for inspiring us to do this and @agentheights for giving us the confidence to pull the trigger! and ofc none of this would be possible wo/ @HajiMagege who went from zero to MVP in less than 10 days 💪
we're just getting started got a lot more to build! oh and if you think we forgot about @TradeLeagueHQ you're trippin

We’ve spent a lot of time figuring out how to capture @mtndao without changing the way it feels.
Hearing @edgarpavlovsky say this means a lot.

1/ I did a Space with the founders of @LevMnyc
• They're building calls and puts on prediction markets, on Solana
• Nobody has shipped this yet. Here's what I learned:

Still thinking about how good mtndao was, even on its 10th iteration, even in the bear market.
Hard to find that concentration of talent and craic anywhere else on Earth.
@edgarpavlovsky, @barrett_io, and team doing an unreal job as always.
Roll on v11.
Well folks, that's the show.

mtndao was a BLAST.

Our first year of Demo Day, produced by @solana.
So much action in between, and this summer was no different.
Still thinking about this @skyrisecreative intro from the Week 1 hype reel:

"Trading has always been social. Being able to really put your money where your mouth is though... that's new."
@edgarpavlovsky and @barrett_io get it. Do you? 🗻
