About OnChainMonkey
OnChainMonkey (OCM) is an onchain generative art project run by Metagood. In September 2021 it generated and deployed 10,000 Genesis pieces on Ethereum in a single transaction, with images and traits written into the contract; from 2023 it migrated to Bitcoin Ordinals via teleburn, becoming the first complete 10,000-piece PFP inscription set on Bitcoin and an early user of parent-child provenance, recursion and reinscription. The point is independence from IPFS and servers: each work renders live in the browser from code inside the inscription.
Technically, OCM Dimensions inscribes libraries such as Three.js and p5.js once for other works to call, keeping each piece under 1 KB; the first 300 sit on consecutive sats from block 78 in January 2009 and use an onchain random reveal after minting. Collections now span Genesis, Dimensions, Katoshi and 20 one-of-one Celestials, trading mainly on the project-run Osura marketplace. On 27 April 2026 the team published a paper on visual reproducibility in onchain art.
OnChainMonkey has maintained an active stance in the NFT sector within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Recently, the project officially released the KARMA token with a total supply of 1 billion, of which 700 million are allocated for airdrops to holders of OCM, TRAC, and PIPE. This arrangement not only rewards early supporters but also guides users to the Bitcoin chain through migration requirements, thereby enhancing platform stickiness and promoting the overall ecosystem's forward development.
TRAC holders can exchange tokens for KARMA at a proportional rate and stake the obtained TRAC on TracCore to support Tap Protocol's decentralized indexing services. OnChainMonkey is optimistic about this direction and continues to consolidate its leading position with its first-mover technologies on Ordinals such as Parent-Child Provenance. At the same time, the project celebrated its fifth anniversary in September by posting related tweets to thank the community. This celebration event strengthened the community's cohesion.
