Art is a rebellion against time. An effort to preserve human expression across the millennia. On-chain art is the newest frontier in our ancient pursuit of permanence. This is the foundational concept behind the art of @OnChainMonkey .
OCM is one of the earliest fully on-chain art collections (2021 on Ethereum). Now, with the creation of the Digital Rosetta Stone, OCM advances this vision on Bitcoin, the ultimate timechain. By inscribing the entire Ordinals protocol into a single artifact, the DRS ensures that the language of Art on Bitcoin remains permanently accessible, even if GitHub and all off-chain resources are lost. Like the ancient Rosetta Stone, the DRS preserves the key to understanding a civilizationās culture. As long as Bitcoin survives, so too will Art on Bitcoin.
The DRS occupies an entire Bitcoin block (905026), a 4 megabyte inscription, making it easily identifiable on the timechain. It is inscribed on block 9, 450x sats from the first Bitcoin transaction, includes four cursed inscriptions, and is reinscribed on an OCM Genesis. The DRS is a work of conceptual art on a rare canvas that ties back to the earliest days of Bitcoin and Art on Bitcoin.
The new milestone adds to OCM's list of innovative art:
1ā£OCM Genesis: Pioneered generative art collections on Bitcoin - the blueprint for others that followed.
2ā£OCM Dimensions: Revolutionized recursive art with inscribed code libraries (three.js and p5.js) for creators, plus the first immutable, evolving inscriptions and randomized reveals.
3ā£The Digital Rosetta Stone: Preserves the Ordinals protocol on Bitcoin, and now all inscriptions are completely on-chain!
This piece is more than conceptual art. It's infrastructure, history, self-reference, and preserves all Ordinals and Art on Bitcoin forever! š„š„š„
OCM Genesis is the collection of many firsts. Genesis owners will be able to upgrade this month ā”ļø
Back in February, Genesis was the first 10K generative art collection inscribed on Bitcoin. The collection was inscribed in inscription #20219, paying homage to the year (2021) and month (9) we launched Genesis on Ethereum, September 2021. Then, in March, we inscribed another 10k generative art collection on Bitcoin. This collection was kept secret and set aside exclusively for Genesis owners. When you upgrade your OCM Genesis, you will own a piece from this generative art collection that uses the DNA of your Genesis. Both of these extraordinary inscriptions are linked together forever onchain in the first 10k collection on Block 9.
Genesis pioneered the parent-child collection provenance feature of the Ordinals Protocol. It is the first 10K collection to use this onchain provenance on Bitcoin. Genesis is also the first 10K collection inscribed on Block 9 sats, the oldest sats in circulation. Block 9 sats are the ideal canvas for high-end works on Bitcoin and our Genesis owners will own some of the best Block 9 real estate on Bitcoin.
Sat numbers are very important and Genesis has a special range, one of the lowest and earliest ranges of sequential Block 9 sats. Additionally, every Genesis on Bitcoin has a sat number that matches its Genesis ID, making it incredibly simple to locate and view your Genesis on Bitcoin.
Genesis embodies the convergence of art, technology, and innovation, creating a masterful fusion of digital artistry with the blockchain as the canvas. Poetically engineered, collectors and onlookers alike can appreciate the timeless aesthetic of the OCM Genesis and its abstract art collection, both generated onchain through code. As more details are revealed, the story of the upgrade process and all it entails will come to be appreciated as art in itself. Inscribing multiple collections onto a targeted sequential block 9 sat is Bitcoin native art at its core, immortalized onchain for all to marvel.
Genesis owners will be collectors of the most significant digital artifact on Bitcoin. !RISE
OCM is in NYC today, at the heart of tokenization.
Letās go @amandaterry , @huuepocm , @KiteVC ! Theyāll be speaking at @NYSE along with other industry leaders.š„
Marketplaces come and go.
Bitcoin is forever.
Your Ordinals arenāt going anywhere. And neither are we.

Welcome to our new Celestial holder @ien !
A fitting piece for our timesā¦š¤šµ
Thank you to fellow Celestial holder Mark Yusko of Morgan Creek Capital Management for joining us today to share insights on the current market:
āVolatility is just disagreement about the future value of an asset. Right now, some on general Twitter still swear Bitcoin is going to zeroā¦while others like @CathieDWood see BTC at $1.3ā$1.4M by 2029.
That wide divergence isnāt a problem, itās actually healthy. Markets need opposing views to function.ā
Tokenization isnāt about putting traditional finance on-chain.
Itās about re-architecting ownership with trust, compliance, and scale built in.

2025 was a defining year for Metagood.
What started as on-chain art on Bitcoin and evolved into a global community of builders has become the foundation for institution-grade on-chain infrastructure.
Art was the proving ground. Tokenization is the next chapter.
