OP Matching on Giveth is OP! 😱
OP Matching on Giveth is OP! 😱
Did you know they have crazy high matching?! Here's why & what to support 🙃
🐙 WTF is MetaGame?
MetaGame is a massive online coordination game in the making; a mash-up of an educational, social & freelancing platform and an MMO-RPG, using Web3 to build a new game of life & stick it to Moloch.
We are DAOists & Regens; producing content, organizing events & building a platform for people who want to work in Web3, build things & make an impact:
Teaching people about the true potential & good uses of Web3
Helping people join the space as builders rather than degens
Connecting builders to projects & projects to users
In its full form with Web3 ubiquitous, MetaGame is about helping people self-actualize, leverage latest technologies, find the others & make a positive impact.
A fully fledged alternative socioeconomic system/network state, optimized for social & ecological impact rather than value extraction & profit maximization.
🙏 Support us on Giveth
🤔 Why support MetaGame now?
In short: because we’re finally on a cusp of having something truly great!
If you know MetaGame, you might know we’ve done a shitton over the past 4 years:
Produced a load of newsletters, podcasts & playbooks
Organized 4 conferences, a hackathon & infinite community calls
Onboarded dozens of people to working full time in Web3 &/or DAOs
Built a platform that’s getting better by the day
…
All of that with less than $300k in total funding for 4 years!
It’s been tough. At times we moved so slow some of you thought MetaGame died.
But see, MetaGame is kind of my life purpose so it can’t die as long as I don’t die. It might sleep, it might shapeshift - but not die 🤷♂️ (for another 5 decades 🤞🤣)
In fact - MetaGame has been doing great lately!
Besides MetaFest being epic, we finally have a fully dedicated dev for the first time in ~3 years. I appreciate all the builders faithfully contributing for years, but as I’ve learned, having 1 full time builder is better than having 8 part time builders.
What’s next
Finishing the big UX/UI raid that’s been in the focus for the past 3-6 months. Expect a newsletter summarizing all that’s changed - bug fixes, page re-designs & simplification of the whole experience.
Being back from organizing MetaFest, what’s next for me is producing a shitload of educational content to fill up the cool new unified edu page, continuing community calls, continuing onboarding new DAOs & helping summon some new ones 👀
Here’s this WIP of the page itself, just to give you a taste:
In short (next ~month or two):
Wrap-up of the UX/UI revamp
A load more playbooks
Continuation of community calls
New DAOs being onboarded
The first DAO Summoning cohort 👀
With each $5k raised, we can continue building another month without losing steam & risk of losing a lead dev again.
More reasons to donate: we got higher matching than most projects! 😱
$1 = +$68 in matching
$10 = +$217 in matching
$100 = +$696 in matching
Extra incentive if you’re an Optimism fan:
We’re in the process of migrating all things MetaGame to Optimism 👀👀👀
Finally! If you’re thinking “eeh I’d donate if I had anything on Optimism”, you might actually have some OP you don’t even know about - there’ve been 2 airdrops 👀
🙏 Support us on Giveth 🙏

⚠️ NOTE! ⚠️
Two things:
Make sure to donate on Optimism, otherwise no matching 😬
Don’t forget to connect your Gitcoin passport
😱 The Octant?!
Familiar with The Octant? If you are & have GLM - consider supporting us there instead of Giveth. First, you’ll need to stake your GLM - a significant chunk.
This will earn you yield, which you can later donate to us, or just keep 🤷♂️
If you participated in Epoch 0, make sure to claim your GLM!
And note: on Octant, the matching is even crazier!!
They are giving away ~$500k to only 25 projects 😱
The catch is, we need to receive at least $2k to qualify 😬
🐙 Onwards!
Much love to the Giveth crew, Optimism & everyone who made this round possible, or donated to make it better.
Consider donating & see you next week!
Donated?
Can’t donate?
You can share around our grant with a referral link to earn some OP! 🙃
