It was created in a single transaction entirely on-chain on Ethereum in September 2021 which makes its creation a very special technical innovation. Genesis is your passport to the Wealthy Digital Nation. We have been breaking new ground since September 2021. Buying an OCM Genesis will give you access to future drops and unparalleled rewards.

OCM DIMENSIONS
  • First of its kind, the pinnacle of art, technology, and innovation on Bitcoin
  • Revolutionary high-end 3D Generative Art rendered entirely from code
  • These 1/1 masterpieces are inscribed on Satoshis from January 2009

WHAT ARE OCM DIMENSIONS?

Dimensions is breaking new ground and redefining the limits of what’s achievable by combining art and technology. Dimensions is a truly generative art collection, where the entire collection is generated from a Bitcoin satoshi. This innovative approach explores new possibilities of artistic expression and digital ownership. Embrace the future of art with Dimensions - where imagination, technology, and art converge.

ON BITCOIN


Bitcoin, renowned for its unparalleled security, decentralization, and high value, has surprisingly seen few NFTs created on its blockchain thus far. As the Bitcoin NFT market is still in its early stages, it's anticipated that the highest value NFTs will eventually emerge on Bitcoin. Dimensions is spearheading this movement as one of the first high-quality art NFT collections on Bitcoin, paving the way for a new era of digital art and assets.

CRAFTED BY CODE


OCM Dimension is a groundbreaking generative art collection meticulously crafted on Bitcoin. This isn't just another JPEG; in fact, it isn't a JPEG at all. Dimension's 3D art is wholly conceived and rendered by code, delivering the 3D art experience directly from a satoshi on Bitcoin. Experience the fusion of art and technology in its purest form with OCM Dimension.


THE FIRST 300


UNIQUE MINT
The first 300 Dimensions will be minted straight to Bitcoin in a unique way.
This special set will have the lowest mint numbers, and a first of its kind mint experience never before done on Bitcoin.

RARE GENESIS DNA
The first 300 Dimensions will use the Genesis DNA from Metagood's exclusive Genesis collection. This DNA has never been used before, and includes rare traits such as Alien and Gold furs.

EARLY 2009 SATOSHI
The first 300 Dimensions will use Satoshis from January 2009, the month Bitcoin went live.
Dimensions is making history with 3D Generative Art, so it's fitting to inscribe this art on Satoshis from the first days of Bitcoin.

FOR OCM HOLDERS


2,000 burnable Ethereum NFTs will be available to OCM Genesis and Karma Holders. The Ethereum NFTs will be allocated using our OCM Membership Tier system, and can be burned to receive an OCM Dimension on Bitcoin. A Genesis' DNA is required to create a new Dimension. Like OCM Desserts, this burnable Ethereum NFT can only be consumed by a Genesis.

OCM Missions

Complete a Mission and earn a variety of rewards - from OCM NFTs to mystery prize items used in future Missions.

INTRO TO MISSIONS
The OCM Community is a strong network of fearless and pioneering monkeys who hope for a better future with ideas to share, and want to make our Web3 world better while making a positive real world impact.

We’re bringing Missions to the Monkeyverse!

Connect the ideas and stars of our Monkeyverse - from the OCM DAO, Bananas economy, OCM real-life (IRL) events, to Community Projects, OCM Merch Store, and ever-expanding OCM benefits. We’re connecting them through Missions to become journeys, stories, and innovations to make impactful Web3 and world changes together.

Let’s experiment. Let’s play. Let’s connect and work together in making a difference while earning rewards. You might just discover a surprise, a clue, or two. In fact, our Monkeyverse is just getting started. Let’s go on a Mission!

WHAT IS A MISSION? 
Missions are experiments and tasks, ranging from holding your monkey, voting in the OCM DAO, participating in a hackathon, to joining real-life conservation missions and discovering something new on the OCM website. Go on a Mission, and earn rewards.

We’re launching OCM Missions beginning with “The Lab” and its Lab 1 Mission.

HOW DO MONKEYS GO ON MISSIONS?
 1. Connect your accounts on the OCM website, and click on your account PFP in the top right.
 2. Once logged in, navigate to My Account.

3. On the My Account page, scroll down to the Missions section, and click "Start Missions" button.

4. In the Start Mission popup, you have the flexibility to:

Start Missions in Bulk -- Launch multiple monkeys on their Missions.

Start Missions Individually -- By default, all monkeys are selected (pink border around image card) to start their Mission. Unselect monkeys to hold-off on starting their Mission. (Alternatively, navigate to the monkey's Information page to start Missions for a specific Genesis/Karma monkey. Refer to Step 6 below.)

Head back to the My Account page. The Missions section will refresh to display the total number of Genesis and/or Karma monkeys on Missions for your connected wallet(s).

6. Click on the Gallery pull-down header menu, and navigate to the Genesis Gallery or Karma Gallery page. 
7. Search for and view a monkey's Information page by their Genesis/Karma token ID. On the Information page, you'll find: -- Genesis/Karma monkey image, its token ID # and its Monkey Level -- Mission name, including mission details and completion reward -- Mission progress and status

Click Start Mission to begin exploring missions, starting with Lab 1 Mission.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MONKEY COMPLETES A MISSION?


Monkeys gain experience by completing missions. This experience progressively increases the overall level of a monkey, signified by its Monkey Level.

When OCM Missions was launched in June 2022, all Genesis monkeys began at Monkey Level 0 and are leveling up by gaining experience through successful mission completions - starting with the first mission, Lab 1 Mission.

UPDATE: August 2022 - Karma monkeys can start their Lab 1 Mission!

Upon mission completion, rewards are made available to claim daily at 7am PT.

 AT MISSION COMPLETION:
Your monkey’s Reward Crate for the mission will be unlocked and displayed on its Information page. 

Reward Crates are locked and tied to the monkey. After a monkey's successful mission completion, its Reward Crate can only be claimed and opened by the monkey (token) holder. When opened, the Rewards are transferred to the monkey (token) holder’s Eth wallet connected to the OCM website at the time of the claim. There is no deadline on Reward claims.

Completed missions add experience to your monkey’s overall Monkey Level and value.

-locked Reward Crate  Vs Opened Reward Crate

- Monkeys will automatically progress to the next Mission Stage at mission completion. For instance, successfully completing Lab 1 Mission will automatically move your monkey forward to Lab 2 Mission. It’s that easy!


WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MONKEY FAILS  A MISSION?
If a monkey fails or aborts a mission that is in progress, the failed mission stage can be restarted. Simply click “Start Mission” for the failed mission to restart. A monkey can restart their failed Lab 2 Mission from the beginning, and still retain their Lab 1 Mission completion.

REWARDS: 
Rewards can range from pieces to a puzzle, or even a Genesis/Karma NFT! Rewards from one mission could be used in the next. … Start your missions. Claim your rewards!

Received a Mission Bot Part in your Reward Crate?
MISSION REWARDS

Be surprised with up to two of the five different bot parts in your Reward Crate - from Accessory Pack, Tread Pack, Shell Pack, and varied color Swag Packs like pink, teal, grey, green ... These Mission Bot Parts are currently off-chain items, but will become tradable NFTs. When combined in a certain way, the parts can be used to create a utility-based NFT. Utility will vary, but Genesis and Karma holders will get the most utility.

It is also possible to receive a genesis or karma NFT in a reward crate.  
OCM DAO

The OnChainMonkey (OCM) DAO is a community-led fund managed collectively by over 5,000 NFT holders. Its mission is to create value for OnChainMonkey holders by providing support to projects and initiatives.

The OCM DAO is in a strong financial position and held approximately ~2,000 ETH (approximately $3.7 million dollars) as of January 2023. With a focus on transparency and community involvement, OCM DAO is leading the way in using NFTs to create value and drive positive change.

Treasury: 2K ETH
Projects Funded: 42
Funded Amount: 70 ETH


HOW THE OCM DAO FUNDS PROJECTS:


The OCM DAO is actively taking proposal submissions through three distinct channels:

Small Grants Committee
0.1 - 2 ETH
Requests too small or time-sensitive for Prop House. Retroactive awards for outstanding contributions, expense reimbursements.

Prop House
1 - 10 ETH
Regular rounds of funding are awarded to pilots & experiments (called “Props”) that align most closely with each season’s theme. OCM holders vote for the top proposals to win the round and receive funds.

OCM Proposals
10+ ETH
Made for major commitments to scale up big ideas, the full proposal category includes requests that have usually been piloted through a Prop first and require a highly involved process with more scrutiny. Intended to fund large-impact projects that build long-term value for the OCM community. 

Funding sources
DAO Source of Funds
  • 50% of all mint proceeds from public mint of OCM Karma collection (June 2022)
  • Royalties from secondary sales of OCM Genesis, OCM Karma, and OCM Dessert collections. From May 2022 - March 2023, 50% of the royalties from secondary sales of these collections were sent to the OCM DAO Treasury.
  • Effective March 16, 2023, due to changing market conditions and marketplace models, the community voted via Snapshot proposal to reduce the original creator royalties for the OCM Genesis and OCM Karma collections from 10% to 5% for a one year period. During the next year, the DAO will not receive any royalties collected from secondary sales of these collections, except for the 50% royalties from OCM Desserts. We're grateful for our community's active participation in shaping our future.

Article: OnChainMonkey Migrates Genesis Collection to Bitcoin, Spends Over $1M
OCM Migrates To BTC

Published on NFT now 09/07/23 
Written by Andrew Rossow 
 
Metagood, the company behind the popular NFTcollection OnChainMonkey (OCM), is breaking new ground in the crypto world by migrating its 10,000-strong NFT collection, OCM Genesis, from Ethereum to Bitcoin’s blockchain. 

The decision to shift the OCM Genesis collection to Bitcoin was not taken lightly, given it also carried a hefty price tag of $1 million, according to a press release shared with nft now. 
Launched in September 2021, OCM debuted its Genesis Collection through a free mint, comprising 10,000 monkey PFPs. The project is best known for having uploaded its entire NFT collection to Ethereum in a single transaction. 

And now, it’s doing it again in one big swoop – migrating it over to the Bitcoin network. 

Subsidizing Migration Costs 
The OCM DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) proposed subsidizing the migration’s substantial cost, making it free for all OCM Genesis NFT holders with a Bitcoin Badge. This “Bitcoin Badge” had been awarded to OCM holders who had actively participated in missions over the course of a year. 
The DAO proposal received overwhelming support, with over 4,700 votes cast in favor, making it the highest number of votes (2,000 votes) any DAO proposal has received within 24 hours since OCM’s DAO inception in 2021. 
With almost unanimous support, the proposal reportedly had 99% of voters supporting Genesis’s migration from Ethereum to Bitcoin. 
Metagood’s leadership team, which proposed the migration and wrote the DAO proposal, played a crucial role in educating the OCM community about Bitcoin Ordinals and the technical developments of Recursive Inscriptions, a technology integral to the migration. 
While the community subsidy covers a significant portion of the migration costs, approximately $570,787 worth of ETH (at current prices), Metagood is shouldering the remaining expenses, totaling around $1 million. 

“This migration is a monumental milestone for our OCM Community and a first-of-its-kind migration and upgrade for a 10K collection,” explained Danny Yang, CEO and co-founder of Metagood and creator of the OCM Genesis Collection. The move signifies a significant technological advancement in the NFT space and highlights the community’s unwavering faith in Bitcoin. 

The OCM Genesis Collection is poised for innovation as it migrates to Bitcoin’s blockchain. These NFTs will be on Block 9 Satoshis (sats), the smallest unit of Bitcoin, known for its exceptional divisibility. The Genesis collection will align sequentially with the sats, offering a clear and verifiable provenance on Bitcoin while preserving its origin on Ethereum. 
 
“In the past, other projects have been paid substantial amounts to move to another blockchain. We are doing the opposite. We are so convinced in our move that we are spending more than $1 million of our own resources to make the move to Bitcoin in an important and innovative way,” Yang emphasized.
