Metadreamer is the founder of Metafactory, the “digiphysical culture factory for the metaverse." He is a software engineer and designer in the DAO space, and has contributed to MetaGame, SourceCred, Coordinape, and Metacartel Ventures.

Dreamer is a DAO-er, touching many different parts of the Ethereum ecosystem. Every conversation we have with him is cerebral, as he is a cosmically deep thinker. He embodies core values of crypto such as optimizing for collaboration over competition, an abundance mentality, and a ‘Yes And’ approach to coordination.

The code we write can impact society for the better, and throughout this conversation, we explore the purpose of the crypto movement—with this new technology, we can change culture. Metadreamer’s is a revolution to build a better society.
