OnChainMonkey

What OnChainMonkey does

OnChainMonkey (OCM) is a private NFT and digital art platform operated by Nfinita Inc. (d/b/a Metagood) and headquartered in Redmond, Washington, with a remote-first culture. Founded in September 2021, OCM launched the first 10,000-piece generative art collection inscribed in a single Ethereum transaction, then migrated to Bitcoin in February 2023 as the first 10K Ordinals collection featuring Parent-Child Provenance, Recursive Inscriptions, and Reinscription. The product portfolio spans five core collections — OCM Genesis (10K), OCM Dimensions (300 high-resolution 3D generative art NFTs), OCM Celestials (20 unique 1/1s with past unrevealed pieces selling for $100k+), OCM Katoshi Prime, and OCM Katoshi Classic — plus ancillary collections such as OCM Karma and OCM Desserts. The company operates Osura, a proprietary high-end marketplace for Bitcoin-native digital artifacts, which supports third-party brand and artist inscriptions including Patrick Amadon, Alexis André, Asprey Studio, Bryan Brinkman, and Harto.

OCM generates revenue through primary NFT mint sales (e.g., OCM Karma raised over 3,000 ETH in its public mint), secondary market royalties on Osura, and marketplace commissions on third-party inscriptions. The OCM DAO distributes a portion of funding to community holders, with 104 proposals funded by 207 ETH (99% to current OCM holders), creating a holder-aligned value distribution mechanism. Distribution occurs via Osura for primary and secondary OCM sales, with OpenSea and Nifty Gateway serving as secondary channels. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored on Discord, Twitter/X, and a global IRL presence at major NFT and blockchain conferences (NFT NYC, Bitcoin Nashville, NFT Paris, Ordinals Tokyo, Art Basel, VeeCon, and the Neckerverse Summit on Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island).

The company serves three primary customer segments: high-net-worth collectors pursuing ultra-rare Bitcoin-native 1/1s (Celestials), digital artists and creators needing accessible tools and code libraries to launch generative art on Bitcoin (enabled by OCM Dimensions' open-source p5.js and three.js libraries), and a broader NFT collector and crypto-enthusiast community engaged in DAO governance and social impact initiatives. Notable institutional and individual backers include Hut 8 Mining, Animoca Brands, Sound Ventures (Guy Oseary), Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, Axie Infinity's Jeff Zirlin, Dapper Labs' Roham Gharegozlou, Morgan Creek Capital's Mark Yusko, and Olympic athlete Apolo Ohno, alongside leadership from founders Danny Yang (CEO, former MaiCoin and BlockSeer founder), Amanda Terry (COO, former Twitter leadership), and Chairman Bill Tai (first Zoom backer, Canva seed investor, Board Chair of Hut8 Mining).

Direct peers

• Art Blocks: Art Blocks is the leading generative-art NFT platform on Ethereum, curating and launching collections from generative artists. Directly comparable to OCM as a generative-art infrastructure platform; OCM Dimensions similarly enables artists to inscribe generative work, but on Bitcoin rather than Ethereum.
• Magic Eden: Magic Eden is a leading multi-chain NFT marketplace that expanded aggressively into Bitcoin Ordinals. Directly comparable as an Ordinals marketplace competing with Osura for primary launches and secondary trading volume.
• Pudgy Penguins (Igloo Inc.): Pudgy Penguins is a community-led NFT brand with strong licensing and physical product extensions (toy line, retail deals). Comparable to OCM as a brand-led NFT collection with mainstream consumer and licensing ambitions.
• Azuki: Azuki is a premium NFT brand with strong community focus, multi-collection strategy (Azuki, BEANZ), and physical brand extensions (Hilum). Comparable to OCM in brand-led, community-driven NFT business model targeting collectors.
• Doodles: Doodles is an NFT brand focused on community, IP, and brand extensions across media and consumer products. Comparable to OCM as a community-driven NFT brand building a broader ecosystem beyond collections.

Broad incumbents

Comparable as a top-tier NFT brand builder with multi-collection strategy and strong community focus, though much larger and broader in scope than OCM.
• OpenSea: OpenSea is the largest general-purpose NFT marketplace, where OCM Genesis and Katoshi collections also list. Comparable as a secondary trading venue for OCM assets, though broader and less curated than Osura.

Emerging players

• Tensor: Tensor is a leading Solana NFT marketplace with pro-trader focus. Comparable to Osura as a curated, performance-oriented marketplace serving power traders and collectors, though in a different ecosystem (Solana vs Bitcoin).
• Quantum Cats (Taproot Wizards): Quantum Cats is a high-profile Bitcoin Ordinals generative art collection (by Far), created using OCM Dimensions' open-source libraries. Comparable as a peer Bitcoin Ordinals art collection leveraging the same inscription infrastructure.
