Llamao Team Journey I wanna share a bit about the journey of the Llamao Team. Back in 2020, @johunvn and I joined the market together. We started by building a Vietnamese crypto community focused on sharing knowledge and bringing Solana’s community culture to Vietnam (Solana was extremely early back then, with only SPL wallets and the Serum DEX). Later, we were lucky to meet @AngiePyra, a talented core team member who has stayed with us ever since. From there, we decided to pivot our community into a fully NFT-focused one thanks to the 2021-2022 NFT wave. As a result, 3 of us gained experience in building an NFT community. At the same time, we were running a marketing agency, helping web3 projects with community building and creating GTM plans to enter the Vietnamese market. Working with major Solana clients back then taught us a lot: how to build a team, narrative building, marketing execution, GTM strategy, and what it really takes to grow a strong web3 project. Later, we launched our own NFT collection for our community. Our goal was already the same as it is now: to build a globally recognized web3 IP brand. We were lucky to get support from the top 1 ecosystem in Vietnam. But choosing Polygon instead of Solana turned out to be a big mistake. It limited our global reach when no one actually cared about NFTs on Polygon at the time. So we accepted that the project would remain local and focused on building membership-style utilities like WL collabs, private alpha, private investment opportunities, and more, similar to an Alpha DAO. Thankfully, the market was easier back then, and with our network and experience, we were still able to bring great value to our holders. Deep down, we always kept the dream of building a global web3 IP brand, something with real products and real-world impact. That’s how @llamao_ was born. After the pain of choosing the wrong chain, we became much more careful. We passed on Aptos, SUI, Sei, Berachain, and most ETH L2s (I’m sure you remember the Blast wave). When we finally dug into Monad, we were fully convinced. Its community culture reminded us of Solana’s early days. Then we gradually found the rest of our team members: @arnldngo @Bloc_ko55 @gelutt9 @UnyilLNB @Emma0x5h @sunking85735 @_0xyung_ @jasonphan_real From day one, we focused on being different. We gave Llamao the iconic cross-eye look and built the lore and character content you see today. Then came Llamaoism, a philosophy that shapes our entire thesis. In Vietnam, most people grow up around Buddhism, and I personally believe in logical Buddhism ( @Naval is also a follower ). Those principles inspired us to create Llamaoism. It’s something that helped us survive the ups and downs of this market, especially with investing. To invest well, emotional control matters far more than pure investment knowledge. You can enter private rounds at amazing prices, but if greed takes over, you can still lose. If you panic too easily, you’ll also lose. That’s how many people end up leaving the market in frustration. Llamaoism was created to bring real social value, not just a shiny narrative. From Llamaoism, we started shaping a long-term vision around the Wellness economy, especially mental health. The crypto market seriously lacks strong consumer apps, and through our research, we saw a big chance to find PMF not just through philosophy, but through product as well. The next phase is simple: focus completely on achieving PMF and creating real revenue. Only real revenue can generate real value for Llamao holders. It’s been a long journey, almost two years of Llamao. We wouldn’t have reached this point without our early supporters. Thank you so much. Now it’s time for all of us to push together toward the most important launch. See you all on 25th November

@palma_nt I'm afraid we can't never see this price again

@yoyopyra Can we get O.015 ? Will go all in at that price

If you wanna accumulate $MON, which price range are you waiting for?

@RanaDedar Gmao

@yoyopyra gmao

@GweiIntern Good strategy. Loading a bag for betting on new L1 category

@yoyopyra not waiting, just dca-ing. price discovery on a new l1 with this much traction doesn't stay patient for long gmonad

@lambezii Gmao bro

Market context - Apr 16, 2026 - Trump signals end of Iran ops. 72% in May, 83% in June - SPX at ATH. Velocity is extreme (bottom to ATH in ~15 days) - Liquidity still expanding: Stablecoins up, M2 up - Market pricing ~60% chance of at least 1 Fed cut in 2026 - BTC holding strong at current range, despite recent negative headlines -> We can bet on the mini pump here, but SL is mandatory because the US-Iran conflict is the biggest unknown. Moreover, if we think the bottom of BTC is around Q4/2026, then we should set a small position around here.

@hanjaycrypto @MadLads The outsiders are trying to make content on this event lol. If Mad Lads holders didn't sell at peak, then it's their fault for not understanding the narrative shifting. It's 2026, not 2023 anymore

flaw statement I, as a @MadLads holder myself, have got a bunch of airdrops since 2024 way before $BP. The total airdrop value at peak was way above the amount of money used to get the Mad Lads. Mad Lads holders don't complain. if you aren't a holder, no need to do it.

It's complicated but here are some thoughts: - the Monad Community was and is one of the genuine communities in crypto - airdrop speculation attracted a lot of additional people who were motivated by the airdrop. It was very difficult to protect the existing community without getting called lots of names for being "gated" etc. IMO, the Community Team did a great job balancing this, but of course the team was not perfect. Lots of people gave a lot of themselves, building friendships, taking on leadership roles, organizing events, etc. It was on the team to evaluate all contributions (while trying to build as many tools to decentralize the decisionmaking). When there's money involved, there can be jealousy or envy. - there was also the problem of people who were not really in the community at all, claiming that they were a part of the community, complaining about being shafted, posting screenshots to "prove" they were "one of the 5500" or whatever. It is a similar problem to random NFT projects deploying on Monad, failing to mint out, complaining about not receiving support, and spreading negativity. There's nothing you can really say or do to appease these folks, and when community members respond it also generates more negative messaging and noise. - the negativity gets picked up by people looking for engagement, who post screenshots and hot takes. In a bear market, where lots of people are down bad, there is a desire to tear others down. I guess the solution would be to not airdrop at all, and to make that super clear as early as possible. But that would also be wrong (in my opinion) since we do feel that the community members were and are a big part of Monad's success. Some other projects have taken the approach of letting whitelisted people buy at discounted prices - I understand the logic but I think it unfairly discriminates against those who have no money at all. And also what if the "low price" you choose is actually not low enough in a severe market downturn? (We are seeing that now with a lot of other projects.) I also don't begrudge anyone who was very active in the Monad Community, but has since moved on to some other pre-TGE community. Everyone is entitled to their own choices. TGE was a rite of passage. Things have become a lot clearer since then. The community that continues to be active is truly special. It is clear that these are the folks who were true Monad supporters. 100 such people are more important to the success of the project than thousands before mainnet. To the folks that are still here, supporting the project and the builders, I am extremely grateful, and certain that we will make you proud. Nothing is easy, but we are not afraid of the challenge.

monad and its community is one of the best things that ever happened to me. i made real friends in the 2.5 years Ive been here, found work in the ecosystem, travelled because of it, even hosted the monad team in turkey. for a long time it felt closer than my own family. somewhere during testnet that changed completely. boredom, pressure, whatever it was, things got weird and hostile. people stopped backing each other and started picking at each other. after the rocky launch it only got worse. there are now people i used to talk to daily that i haven’t spoken to in months or people who have suddenly become extremely toxic i’m not part of the megaeth culture. all i knew for a long time was the back and forth between our communities. i now own a few WCN and spoke a bit with washi. from the outside at least, even with their own launch issues and similar outside fud crusade, i don’t see the same cannibalistic energy over there. i’m still a monad maxi first. i believe in the team and the tech and the moltiverse hackathon and nitro initiatives prove me right. but the og community needs a wake up call. i hear thailand meetup was great and free of drama. so it can still be the crazy monad community that was so famous back in the day when people touch grass together. no reason those vibes can’t exist when everyone is back home

Are you accumulating $MON, or still waiting?

@nambitdefi Tầm này thả neo dần cũng được rồi đó anh. Nhưng mà nên chia dài ra hơn nữa

Giá này là đi chợ ngon luôn chưa ae nhỉ, btc giờ có giá bằng cách đây 5 năm trc rồi.

@Cybermike @solana We have built Llamao since 2023 on Monad. So basically, it's hard to say Solana or Monad. We still choose to stay with the chain where we were born.

@yoyopyra Why Monad over @solana ?

Fun fact: most NFTs on Monad follow an all-or-nothing model. Most OG NFTs were launched around 2023–2024, when the NFT context was very different. The old playbook once worked: create artwork and NFT traits, build a dream team, generate hype with WLs, leverage OG community networks -> mint first, then figure out what’s next. Everyone believed in first-mover advantage. Add $MON FOMO into the mix, and winners gained bargaining power to deliver value to holders. But the market surprised everyone. The gears no longer aligned. From now on, problem framing, adaptability, and team mindset matter more than ever. - Some projects stop when the playbook fails. - Some bet on becoming “the face of Monad.” - Some focus on perks for NFT holders. @llamao_ is different. We enter the normie zone. In the future, NFT, crypto, or Monad are just terms beneath the iceberg. Normie won't need to care about it. Normies only need to genuinely like Llamao for what it is. They engage and collect because of pure real value: fun, entertainment, and collectibility. Llamao’s thesis: NFT value is maximized when a project’s intangible value grows. Llamao does not aim to be the face of Monad. It does not position itself as an NFT-category project. And it does not seek to drive value by stacking holder perks. Llamao is a unique IP built to compete in the era of interest social media and become part of popular culture.
