It’s Unclear Whether or not MonkeDAO Will Settle for The New Solana Monkey Enterprise House owners
The challenge creators have had points with NFT house owners, who proceeded to kind a MonkeDAO (Decentralized Autonomous Group). Their intention was to additional the SMB challenge and increase its ecosystem.
One of many key points was getting these creators to acknowledge and fund DAO initiatives. And when the creators appeared to not be eager to acknowledge and assist the DAO, the NFT house owners threatened to wrap their NFTs, thus turning them into new belongings. By doing this, they might do away with creators’ secondary sale royalties, which is how creators generate income, and redirect these funds into the DAO.

Whether or not the DAO embraces the brand new Solana Monkey Enterprise house owners or branches out by itself stays to be seen.
