Let the Games Begin: The DAO Olympics is Underway

Rally your champions and compete for Realms token allocation

We're thrilled to declare that the DAO Olympics has officially started on Realms v2.

This is the moment where Solana DAOs showcase their coordination, participation, and governance prowess. With the qualifiers in full swing, communities are opting in, selecting their champions, and gearing up for the games that will determine a portion of the Realms token allocation in Q1 2026.

As the home of over 4,000 onchain communities, we're turning governance into an engaging competition to reward the most active and effective DAOs.

"Let the games begin!"

What is the DAO Olympics?

The DAO Olympics is a competitive event for Solana DAOs to earn points through collective actions and challenges.

• Opt in via a governance proposal to join the arena.
• Select your DAO champions who will represent and lead your community in the games.
• Participate in various games designed to test coordination, voting efficiency, proposal quality, and overall engagement.
• Points accumulated will influence your DAO's share of the Realms token distribution.

The timeline is tight: Qualifiers are ongoing, with opt-in and champion selection deadline approaching on February 1, 2026. The main games will follow, featuring a series of challenges that highlight real onchain activity.

This builds on our leaderboards by emphasizing group efforts and creating a fun way to boost participation across the ecosystem.

How to Join the DAO Olympics (Qualifiers Ending Soon)

2. Select Champions: Discuss and vote on community members who will serve as your DAO's representatives and leaders in the competition.

Why We're Building This

We want to make governance exciting and rewarding. The DAO Olympics encourages better coordination, higher participation, and demonstrates the power of onchain communities.

It aligns incentives for long-term engagement, reduces noise, and ensures tokens go to DAOs that prove their value through actions. As more groups join, the Solana ecosystem becomes stronger and more collaborative.

With champions leading the charge, this is a chance for DAOs to separate themselves from casual groups and establish themselves as big league players.
