OnChainMonkey Genesis is turning Two on September 11! That’s Two Years of Innovation and Impact Through Art and Technology!
Let's take a moment to delve into our remarkable journey, which started with a groundbreaking idea for digital assets.
In Spring of 2021, we set out to build upon NFT technologies to align communities around causes and to make a positive impact in the world. To achieve our vision, we created the unique and innovative digital asset, OnChainMonkey Genesis. This was a first of a kind on-chain generative art collection. Beautifully engineered by code, we designed the distribution of this collection to be both captivating and engaging for collectors. The art involved the extreme minimization of our on-chain footprint so that the entire collection could be created and launched in a single transaction!
On September 11, 2021, we introduced the world to the OCM Genesis. It was a momentous day as 10,000 Monkeys came to life on-chain. They were a free mint, offered without any hype, without even a Twitter account or Discord server, and quickly claimed by a newly formed community.
This historic day marked the beginning of our incredible journey. The early minters and collectors of OCM became our dedicated community, shaping our path forward. In those early days, we established our guiding !RISE principles (Respect, Integrity, Sustainability, Enrichment). From these values, we built one of the best communities in Web3.
We introduced our give-to-earn model where you gain by giving. Our off-chain Banana token pioneered a give-to-earn mining mechanism, where OCMs generously gave a Banana to earn one for themselves. This model helped OCM unite as a family and thrive together.
In February of this year, Genesis etched its name in history once again by being the first to record (or inscribe) 10,000 images (and metadata) of a collection onto Bitcoin. Not only is OCM preserved for prosperity on Bitcoin now, we did it in another innovative feat, in a single inscription (#20219) and using less than 20 kilobytes for the whole 10,000 collection. This was yet another landmark achievement in high-quality digital art created entirely on-chain and at scale. Now, we're on the brink of a historic transition, where our members will soon be able to migrate and upgrade their Genesis from Ethereum to Bitcoin.
Also in February, we inscribed OCM Dimensions, which we unveiled In June. With Dimensions, we pioneered the use of recursive inscriptions on Bitcoin, introduced parent-child collection provenance, and incorporated on-chain compression. We also inscribed three.js and p5.js, forever on-chain to inspire future creators to create. Dimensions serves as a foundation for digital art on Bitcoin.
OCM is an innovation-focused movement focused around art, technology, and community. We !RISE to the occasion and push boundaries. Join us as we continue to shape the future of digital art and blockchain technology together. Together, we are making history.
