While it’s common for a DAO to be tasked with improving the reach of an NFT project, the charitable element of the OCM DAO is significantly less common. Metagood’s objective of using NFTs to improve society is at the core of the OCM DAO, and the community routinely votes on charitable proposals that divert funds toward good causes.

It’s incredible the global reach we’ve had. But it’s also brought change at a local scale.” Amanda Terry, Metagood COO OnChainMonkeys is a multi-utility project that offers its community several ways to profit from OCMs and have a positive real-world impact. DAOThe vast majority of motorcycles use a chain to carry drive from the output of the gearbox to the rear wheel. Sure, there are shaft-driven bikes – notably BMWs – as well as belt-driven examples but the humble chain is by far the easiest and most reliable when it comes to moving torque to the rear wheel. The ultimate bundle combination for precision chain tension and wheel alignment - includes 1 x Chain Monkey and 1 x Laser Monkey tools. Usually, it’s recommended to measure at the tightest part of the chain, which means you have to rotate the wheel around and measure several times to find the tight spot. It does give you a 'firm stop' position in the adjustment process so does provide a consistent and repeatable result and, if you have just one bike, then the initial set up only needs doing once, but for those of us with multiple bikes, setting up the Chain Monkey multiple times pretty much erodes any time savings against using a traditional steel rule and multiple adjustments.

The OCM Discord channel has over 30,000 members and plays a central role in the project’s development. The Discord channel is used partly as a social place for OCM users, but it also has some more concrete features. While this does all seem a bit of a faff, especially when the tool is supposed to make the job easier, once it's set (assuming you have just the one bike), then you won’t need to reset it again. From “R.T.” (October 2016): “After reading your review on the Chain Monkey — an answer to a question no one asked. Reduced friction by correctly tensioning the chain will result in prolonged life of the chain. Optimize Power Delivery Chain Monkey gets the optimum, sustainable performance out of your bike to the manufacturers intention.Step 2: Align bottom of domed nut with required setting line and adjust circular stop until it touches the orange base. The Genesis OCM collection was launched on September 11th, 2021, and the tokens were minted for free, meaning users were only required to pay the Ethereum Gas Fee. The Karma collection followed the successful launch of the Genesis OCM collection. Karma Monkeys are created by feeding a Genesis monkey ‘Desserts,’ which are also on-chain NFTs. The rubber 'circular stop' now comes into play as this needs to be pushed up against the base of the tensioner body to prevent the screw being lowered again (I found screwing the stop up on the thread easier than trying to push it up).

Most motorcycle manufacturers recommend placing the bike on its side stand (also, most motorcycles don’t come with a center stand). The Chain Monkey is made from molded plastic with two “arms” that hang over the top of the chain made from hollow plastic. A sagging chain and rough gear changes can disrupt a serene ride through the mountains or ruin a lap time.At the heart of OnChainMonkey’s operations lies their belief in the power of communities to bring about positive change. That’s why Metagood set its roots in Web3; the team views NFTs as the most effective tools to mobilize and incentivize these communities. “We created Metagood to solve big problems in the world,” explains Yang. “And we needed big communities to do that.” The best way to look for the rarest OCMs is to use Rarity.Tools and then follow links to LooksRare and OpenSea, where most of the monkeys are traded. What Does OnChainMonkeyDo? Further, the OCM community has also chosen to donate some of their valuable NFTs to support projects that the DAO selects. Shortly after the Genesis mint in 2021, a member donated their OCM NFT to Giga, an organization that brings the internet to schools worldwide. In early 2022, another member donated a Genesis NFT to raise funds to support the United Nation’s Life Below Water initiative to promote coral reef restoration, a cause chosen by the OCM community’s DAO.

Tighten the swingarm nuts to the torque spec, remove the Chain Monkey (don’t forget!) and the chain should be within spec. Chain Monkey is the world’s first tool designed to help you set the tension on your motorcycle’s drive chain. The task of tensioning a chain can be a tedious and time consuming task, especially on motorcycles. But not anymore.Burn” and I covered this in great detail in the article “ How to Adjust a Motorcycle Chain“, so be sure to reference that and please feel free to add any tips that you might have.
