Solana's Largest Community-Run Coworking Meetup Takes Place in Salt Lake City

According to CoinDesk, Solana's largest community-run coworking meetup is currently taking place in Salt Lake City, with around 200 participants expected to attend. The event, hosted by Barrett, has transformed a WeWork location into the social center of the Solana ecosystem for the next three weeks. Attendees include NFT enthusiasts, market makers, crypto-payments experts, validator operators, decentralized governance philosophers, and developers working on Solana projects. The event, known as MtnDAO, has grown significantly compared to its past four editions, with the Solana Foundation providing $250,000 in sponsorship funding. Despite the increased support and officiality, Barrett remains in charge of the event, making decisions on catering and other logistics. CoinDesk will be providing regular updates from MtnDAO, including profiles of startups competing for the $150,000 prize awarded to the best project at the event.
