A friend put me on to ICM (Internet Capital Markets) recently… I’ve been digging deep ever since, and here’s everything I’ve learnt so far  This is not financial advice, just me sharing what I’ve found. If you’re new to ICM, this might help you understand the space better.

If you’re a founder with an idea even half-formed, reach out. Message @metaproph3t on Telegram. Tell him what you’re building, what you’re thinking, even if it’s rough. This ecosystem is literally built for people who create.

Umbra raised $154,943,746. And they only needed $2.5M. Think about that. This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s happening.

And the proof is already there. Prophet pulled up examples of projects that launched using MetaDAO. Every single one of those “ownership coins” didn’t just raise… They over-raised. Founders came with a target, and the community went far past it.

That’s where MetaDAO fits in. MetaDAO created an actual home for ownership-based coins. Real structure. Real oversight. Legal frameworks. IP wrapping. Treasury management. Not vibes. A proper setup that protects both the founder and the community.

But believers today are skeptical and they have every reason to be. People in crypto have been burnt again and again. They don’t want another meme coin. They want ownership. They want to feel like they have a real stake in the business they’re supporting. And honestly? They’re

He showed two slides that painted the whole picture: • When Hyperliquid launched its coin • When Avici launched theirs Simple point: having a token is leverage. If done right, it changes everything.

“Every founder should have a token that works for them.” Prophet talked about MetaDAO like a real engine for founders. Not hype. Not vibes. A system where your token actually plays for your business not the other way around.

Prophet’s session at MetDubai hit different. He broke down @MetaDAOProject in a way that finally made sense not as another “launchpad,” but as a place where founders actually get support, money, and a community that wants them to win. Here’s a summary of @metaproph3t

So to summarize it in plain words: MetCol is culture, community, content, and growth for the Meteora ecosystem. But it’s also for all of us who support the Meteorite movement. This is what they do. And honestly, they’re doing it well.

Vesper also announced a partnership with Boiler Blockchain, a university blockchain club. MetCol sponsored the students and they actually won, this shows the impact of MetCol when they are supporting communities

Beyond culture and community, MetCol is also trying to build a new habit across the ecosystem resharing, spreading narratives, and telling stories in fresh ways. They even partnered with Bloom Protocol to create the Internet Capital Market Report, covering the projects driving

MetCol isn’t only focused on Meteora’s ecosystem. Their job is also to spread Meteora’s impact across Solana. Scan the QR code and you can download Zumi, the Meteorite AI chatbot.

She also revealed what’s coming next. Starting January, MetCol is launching “Build Lab” A series for on-chain builders. It’s a space where anyone, no matter what stage they’re at, can learn the tools, resources, and tips to push their token project forward. If you want in, scan

Vesper also shared that @MCGlive has been a big part of telling the stories behind Meteora’s tokenization tech. As the ecosystem grows, MetCol is also leading the Internet Capital Market (ICM) movement through @icmdotrun

And it didn’t stop there. They created Meteorites, the pfps representing creators in the MetCol community. I’m honestly excited to be one of them. Shoutout to Vesper for pushing that vision forward.

For the last 6 months, MetCol has basically been feeding the entire Solana community nonstop. It started with just a few sparks, people like @7vomercy (ICM founder), @kittykunt_ now leading ICM on Meteora, traders like @SpiderCrypto0x and @sullyfromDeets… Then they went deeper

But numbers only tell one side. What is MetCol really doing? Vesper said it clearly: MetCol is building the creative + community layer that will power Meteora’s ecosystem growth. That’s the foundation of everything.

Vesper shared what MetCol has achieved so far and honestly, for a group that’s been building for under 6 months, it’s wild: - 81k profile visits (where most projects first get discovered), - 350k engagements, - 9.5M impressions. Numbers aren’t everything, but they show

MetCol (Meteorite Collective) has one job: amplify the projects building on Meteora, empower creators across Solana to tell their stories, and keep the community alive around events like MetDhabi. Simple, but powerful.

A lot happened at MetDhabi yesterday , but @vesper792 presentation on @MeteoriteCol stood out. Not because of the slides, but because it showed what’s actually powering the growth of Meteora’s ecosystem right now. Here’s the real summary of the presentation 👇
