Bigger office.
Livestream studio.
MTN validator. (🧐)
130 @autonomous_labs desks and @secretlabchairs in a 24/7 workspace powered by 20GB wifi and pure @solana fuel.
50 days after @SolanaConf, the world-class startup experience is back for its 5th year:
----
@mtndao -- the renowned startup summit that gathers @solana’s top builders from around the world — is hosting its 9th iteration. mtndao v9 runs from February 1-28, 2026 in downtown Salt Lake City.
Like always, mtndao is invite-only. Last year’s February mtndao was heavily over capacity, so this year we’re implementing a smarter system to manage day-to-day access. (application below)
The mtndao you know
@mtndao is Solana’s birthplace for globally renowned startups and talent. While Solana focused, everybody comes to the MTN:
· Founders
· Developers
· Marketing
· BD
· Investors
We’re proud of the infrastructure we provide. Expect:
• A spacious, beautiful, 24/7 workspace
• 130 @autonomous_labs desks, @secretlabchairs, and 4k 32” monitors at every desk.
• 20GB entreprise-grade wifi with 7 independent electricity circuits to handle upwards of 400 devices simultaneously.
An upgraded funding model
mtndao has always been free to attend, made possible by an incredible list of sponsors we've worked with over the years. We'd love to see this continue.
This year, we're giving Solana ecosystem teams a new option to sponsor mtndao by staking to our upcoming MTN validator, which we expect to unveil in the new year and will release more information on in the coming weeks.
The MTN validator — in addition to contributing towards Solana's mainnet — will have an exceptionally simple, community-focused purpose: to help fund mtnDAO.
Bring your gear
We’re excited to welcome builders from all over to the greatest mountains in the world.
Reminder: you must apply and be accepted to mtndao v9 to be allowed entry. Link below.
See you on the MTN.
