Metagood is a Web3 technology company founded in 2021 that develops and distributes digital assets, focusing on innovative NFTs and blockchain infrastructure to empower communities for positive collective action.[1][2][3] It builds products like the OnChainMonkey (OCM) NFT collection—pioneering on-chain profile pictures on Ethereum and Bitcoin Ordinals—and the Osura marketplace for premium Bitcoin art, serving creators, communities, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and digital art industries.[1][3][4] Metagood solves challenges in blending technology, art, and social impact by enabling on-chain economies, modular programming on Bitcoin (e.g., recursive inscriptions with p5.js and Three.js libraries), and directing NFT proceeds to causes like Afghan evacuations, Ukraine aid, and coral reef conservation, earning recognition in Fast Company’s 2022 Best World Changing Ideas Awards.[3][4] With $10.04M raised, including a $5M round in late 2023, the company shows seed-stage momentum amid Bitcoin innovation.[1][4]
Metagood was founded in 2021 in Redmond, Washington, by a team with deep crypto roots: CEO Danny Yang, a veteran who built Maicoin (Taiwan's largest crypto exchange since 2013) and Blockseer (blockchain analytics sold in 2018 to U.S. agencies like the FBI), and Chairman Bill Tai, a pioneer investor in Zoom, Canva, Dapper Labs, and 23 public companies.[3][4] The idea emerged from harnessing Web3 for social good, launching OnChainMonkey (OCM) as the first fully on-chain NFT profile picture collection in a single Ethereum transaction to demonstrate community-driven impact.[2][3] Early traction included Ethereum innovations in 2021, pivoting to Bitcoin Ordinals in 2023 with OCM Dimensions and Genesis—introducing code libraries and recursive inscriptions—while funding real-world causes, solidifying its evolution from NFT art to Bitcoin infrastructure.[3][4]
Metagood rides the Bitcoin Ordinals and inscriptions wave, unlocking programmability and art on Bitcoin post-2023 protocol advances, timed perfectly before the 2024 halving to capitalize on scarcity and network effects.[3][4] It addresses market forces like Ethereum's high fees and Bitcoin's untapped creative potential, influencing the ecosystem by democratizing modular tools (e.g., fee-saving inscriptions) and proving NFTs' real-world utility beyond speculation.[1][3] By bridging art, community, and impact—via OCM and Osura—Metagood accelerates Web3's shift to on-chain assets, tokenizing cultural/financial value freely, and sets standards for "social good" in blockchain amid rising DeFi, NFTs, and RWA trends.[2][4][5]
Metagood's blend of technical innovation, Bitcoin focus, and proven impact positions it to lead premium digital artifacts as Ordinals mature and Bitcoin evolves post-halving. Expect expansions in Osura partnerships, RWA tokenization, and community tools, shaped by trends like modular Bitcoin apps and impact-driven Web3. Its influence could grow by inspiring more "for-good" NFT models, evolving from art pioneer to infrastructure powerhouse—empowering the open on-chain economy it set out to build.[3][4][5]
Metagood has raised $5.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $5.0M Seed in December 2022.
