Inspiration

As a designer and developer, I've built both Web2 and Web3 (.eth) sites — but I’ve always felt limited by centralized platforms and static pages. I wanted to build something truly decentralized and expressive. When I discovered Metaverse Markup Language (MML), Blocks of Bitcoin, and Nakamoto Matrix, I realized I could finally create a 3D, ownable, Bitcoin-secured digital identity — one that brings creativity, permanence, and self-sovereignty together.

What it does

MetaMe gives users their own voxel-based 3D plot in the metaverse, functioning like a spatial website.
It’s a digital identity you can walk through — where individuals or brands can showcase their:

  • On-chain credentials
  • Ordinals, NFTs, or digital art
  • Social links or .eth/.btc handles
  • Personal or brand story

All of it lives on a decentralized stack, powered by Bitcoin infrastructure.

How we built it

  • Metaverse Markup Language (MML): Used to build and script the 3D scene.
  • Blocks of Bitcoin / Nakamoto Matrix: Provided the spatial and ownership layer for each plot.
  • **Custom JavaScript-driven animations and GLTF assets: Used JavaScript to add interactive and animated behaviors within the 3D scene, alongside custom GLTF models for digital identity elements.
  • Design-first approach: Every scene was built to feel intentional, not templated.

Challenges we ran into

  • Learning the MML syntax and tooling was a steep but rewarding curve.
  • Optimizing asset load time and layout in 3D space required iteration.
  • Integrating identity elements in a decentralized, Bitcoin-native way posed new UX challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • We built a working prototype of a decentralized 3D identity site — no IPFS or DNS needed.
  • Designed and coded a fully custom MML scene without using templates.
  • Established a repeatable framework for others to create their own MetaMe plots.

What we learned

  • MML opens exciting creative possibilities for 3D on-chain experiences.
  • Bitcoin can be a powerful backbone for more than just currency — it's a foundation for identity.
  • Spatial design is the next layer of personal presence on the web.

What's next for MetaMe

  • Custom plot builder UI so anyone can generate their own MetaMe without code.
  • Identity integrations with ENS, Nostr, and other Web3 protocols.
  • Unreal Engine connection for expanded visuals and interactivity.
  • Decentralized discovery layer to explore other MetaMe plots across the Nakamoto Matrix.

MetaMe is just the start — we’re redefining what it means to “own your presence” in the metaverse.

MetaMe 3D Update

The first iteration of MetaMe 3D just got an upgrade — now featuring QR-code links and embedded imagery!

These additions serve as visual anchors and interactive gateways, connecting on-chain identity to off-chain context in dynamic new ways.

  • Built using Blocks of Bitcoin
  • Powered by Nakamoto Matrix
  • Rooted in the Bitcoin blockchain
  • Now with scannable interactions and layered visuals

This is just the beginning — more spatial logic, identity mapping, and dynamic content coming soon.
