MetaGame: The Awakening
MetaGame: The Awakening
Haven't read an MG newsletter in a while? Don't skip this one!
Hey psst!
After a year of quietly working on the revamp; stamping out the bugs & making MetaGame as simple to use as possible - we're waking it up. 👀
We’ve done things like:
Killed a shitton of bugs
Gotten rid of a bunch of pages
Simplified the navigation
Did a bit of a visual overhaul
Built The Academy
Rewrote the onboarding game & pretty much all other content
Made a new much-simplified landing page that gets you straight into action
Next, we’re:
Reactivating the community
Continuing to shill MetaGame & onboard new players
Onboarding many new DAOs - DM @petheth if interested in joining as a DAO
❗ Ready to play? ❗

Consider competing for beginner of the month

We'd still love to hear from you!
What have you been up to? Let us know here.

🐙 Realizing MetaGame
📜 Pre-History
Years ago, before the first DeFi & NFT summers, at a time when there were 5 active DAOs, Web3 wasn't seen as an MMO-RPG, metacrisis was unknown in Web3 & network states weren't in the zeitgeist - MetaGame was started.
The term "Massive Online Coordination Game" was coined to categorize MetaGame, to be built in 3 phases: A Decentralized Factory > A Web of Opportunity > A Web of Life
First goal was to build the connective tissue for the DAO space:
Streamline the process of joining the DAO space as a contributor
Help people build DAOs, find contributors & spread the word
🕰️ Fast Forward
2 cycles later, there are hundreds of active DAOs & DAO tools. DeFi & NFTs both bloomed & waned - whole new memes like ReFi, Degens, Regens, RWAs & DePIN, Network States & CoordiNations formed.
Tech matured, with L2s offering cheap & fast blockspace. Scaling is here, UX is better, tooling is better. It's now possible to use Web3 for building less corruptible socioeconomic infrastructure & ways of organizing societies.
MetaGame produced hundreds of newsletters, podcasts & events, built a strong community and a platform with decentralized ID, education protocol, quests etc.
So, 2 reasons our time has come:
The ecosystem & the memes have evolved 👉 the world is ready for MetaGame
We've grown, learned & revamped 👉 MetaGame is ready for the world
🤔 Now what?
Over the next weeks & months, we’ll be reactivating our existing community as well as onboarding many more new players & DAOs.
We’ll be stress-testing everything we’ve built so far, doing user interviews & start monetizing what we got, so we can start to wean MetaGame off the grants.
Our vision for the next phase is MetaGame as a network of service DAOs & projects, building & managing their own pieces & services - scaling MetaGame horizontally by onboarding & incubating more DAOs.
We were not ready for the last bullrun, but we’re not missing this one.
🐙 Onwards!
Next:
~12h from now, all of the remaining changes will be merged.
~17h from now, we’ll have a nice get-together at the townhall.
A few things you could do!
Much love ❤️,
