Another month, another dose of everything that happened inside MetaGame & the MetaAlliance, served with a portion of Meta: news & posts curated from the wider DAO & Web3 space as well as the wider webs of the world beyond!

First-time reader? Watch a video intro on MetaGame and see what it’s all about.

The main news this month:

🏆 Player of the Month (February) 🏆

You read all about Alec’s tech accomplishments in the previous MetaNews, but we’ll give you a recap anyway:

  • Worked on switching MetaOS from legacy Ceramic to the new ComposeDB tool

  • Organised beta testing of a ComposeDB-powered MetaOS

  • Set up a working demo of MetaOS × ComposeDB for ComposeDB builders 3Box Labs to show in use at ETHDenver

  • And also found time for code reviews, bug fixes, and Dework board bounty management

Just four bullet points, but a whole lot of work.

Props to Alec, the MetaGame player of the month for February!
