Welcome to IslandDAO!

We are IslandDAO — a community-first decentralized autonomous organization built to empower builders, creators, and founders worldwide.
Our premise is simple: when everyone takes initiative, collective intelligence and real-world impact follow.
We operate through transparent governance, open participation, and shared ownership.

We are building toward a Network State — a global, digital-first community that also establishes physical nodes of collaboration and infrastructure.
In alignment with the concept introduced by Balaji Srinivasan:

“A highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition.”

Our vision is to fuse on-chain governance, real-world spaces, and global community into one ecosystem that lives both online and offline.


We live by the DAO principle: anyone can propose, anyone can contribute, anyone can lead.
Our governance is bottom-up — members initiate projects, vote on treasury allocations, build partnerships, and create value.
The community is the engine; citizens are stakeholders and co-creators shaping IslandDAO’s direction through on-chain decision-making.

Our network-state model is both global and distributed.
Digitally, we connect through governance platforms and community channels, enabling seamless coordination and participation.
Physically, we manifest through co-living and co-working hubs, retreats, and shared infrastructure that bring builders together across the world.

Our mission is to enable builders everywhere to access community, infrastructure, capital, and governance — empowering them to launch ventures, collaborate globally, and live the values of decentralization.

To achieve this, we:

  • Build and support a global network of aligned creators
  • Provide on-chain governance, grant funding, and shared resources
  • Develop real-world collaboration nodes through events and residencies
  • Sustain a treasury model and membership utility that keeps value cycling within the community

IslandDAO is a living experiment — an evolving effort to prove that a truly decentralized community can organize, govern, and build together across both digital and physical frontiers.
