View ChartMetadium (META) is a public blockchain project built around the concept of self-sovereign identity (SSI). According to its official documentation, Metadium describes itself as "an identity ecosystem built on a public blockchain to realize the vision of self-sovereign identity." The project aims to give users direct ownership and control over their personal data and identity information, reducing the security concerns that come with centralized identity management systems.
At its core, Metadium is an EVM-compatible blockchain optimized for identity operations. The network supports decentralized identifier (DID) generation, storage of hashed credentials, and verification. Signatures and contracts using DID are executed and recorded as smart contracts on-chain, which prevents tampering and preserves integrity. Metadium positions itself as a permissionless identity protocol designed to prove individual existence while maintaining the integrity of personal data.
The project has a total supply of 2,000,000,000 META tokens, with a circulating supply of approximately 1,743,608,720 META, representing roughly 87.18% of the total. Metadium was founded in early 2018 and has been in operation since then, with its whitepaper dated February 1, 2018. The project is currently in an active development and deployment phase, with multiple production-level services across government, finance, and enterprise sectors.
Metadium was founded in early 2018 by Jeffrey Joo Han Son (also written as Jeffrey Joo Han Song), Richard Yun, and Ryan Uhr. The project's CEO is Justin Park, and Richard Yun serves as COO. The founding team and advisors were allocated around 20% of the token supply, typically with vesting periods.
The project completed its ICO in September 2018, raising approximately $10,490,000. A Medium post titled "Private Funding Is Allowing the Metadium Team to Focus More on Rewarding the Community" notes that Metadium's META ID technology played a major part in generating institutional interest. Metadium is also listed under the Kenetic Capital Portfolio tag on CoinMarketCap.
Metadium operates as a public blockchain optimized for identity-related operations. The network supports the generation, storage, and verification of decentralized identifiers (DIDs). When users sign or execute contracts using their DID, these actions are recorded as smart contracts on-chain, preventing tampering and preserving data integrity.
The blockchain is EVM-compatible, meaning it provides an Ethereum-equivalent environment with standard API/SDK support and EIP compatibility. This design allows developers to onboard quickly and build applications using familiar tools. Metadium also emphasizes high scalability, with 4,000+ TPS transaction throughput suited to enterprise-grade workloads.
Governance on Metadium is handled through autonomous node authority and on-chain governance contracts, creating an open and participatory ecosystem. Security and compliance are addressed through node permission controls and data encryption for privacy, with corporate-grade compliance built in. The META ID and ID Hub serve as a decentralized ID system that bridges KYC and credentials across chains and services as an interoperable hub.
Developer support includes SDKs, open-source libraries, W3C-standard packages, and data-flow visualization APIs for transparent building. Metadium is designed as a permissionless identity protocol that proves individual existence while maintaining the integrity of personal data.
Metadium's primary differentiator is its focus on self-sovereign identity combined with an EVM-compatible public blockchain. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Metadium is specifically optimized for identity operations, supporting DID generation, hashed credential storage, and verification as core functions.
The project also emphasizes compliance and risk management, providing AML compliance solutions that position it as a bridge between traditional institutions and blockchain-based applications. This compliance focus is reflected in its corporate-grade compliance features and node permission controls.
Metadium is integrating AI with blockchain to evolve into a platform that offers more intuitive and scalable services. The project aims to use AI to simplify blockchain interfaces, making on-chain data accessible and reducing barriers for Web2 users transitioning to Web3. The result is described as a single, interoperable identity layer: a Universal ID that works across chains, services, and everyday applications.
The project has achieved significant real-world adoption, with 1.8M+ users, 100+ partners and clients, and 180M+ total transactions. Its flagship deployments span government, finance, and enterprise sectors, demonstrating practical utility beyond speculative use cases.
META is the native token of the Metadium blockchain. The token is used within the ecosystem for identity verification, authentication, and crypto transaction management. Metadium powers identification and authentication services, providing AML compliance and risk management solutions.
The technology is used across multiple services focused on DID, NFT, and DeFi. Ecosystem use cases include Auth, DID, Proof, Wallet, Tokenize, Payment, Sign, and dApp services running in production on Metadium.
Specific applications include Meta ID, which supports management of various aspects of an individual's digital identity, user authentication, and personal information verification. Keepin is another application by Metadium that connects service providers and end users through Meta ID.
META tokens facilitate transactions within this identity ecosystem, enabling users to interact with decentralized identity services, pay for authentication and verification operations, and participate in the network's governance and service layer.
Metadium has developed a substantial ecosystem with deployments across multiple industries. Flagship deployments include B PASS, Busan's integrated digital ID covering transit, store access, and certificates across city services; KB Kookmin Card, providing blockchain authentication for financial services; Korea Post, offering DID-based payment and settlement with on/offline order and transaction verification; Ministry of Oceans & Fisheries, managing seafarer credentials and qualifications via DID; GS25 unmanned stores, integrated with B PASS for store access via QR without sharing personal data with third parties; and WEB2X, a single-API platform connecting Web2 services to Web3 without requiring blockchain expertise.
Metadium's partners and clients span government and public sectors (KISA, Korea Post, LH, NIA, METAPOLIS, HTP), finance (Bank of Korea, KB Kookmin Card, Shinhan Card, BNK Busan, Hana Card, Woori, BC Card), Web3 and assets (WEMIX, BLOCKO, Upbit, Bithumb, INDODAX, Xangle), and mobility and AI (42dot, NVIDIA, Lenovo).
The project provides institutional services including compliance-ready blockchain solutions for enterprises and public institutions. Key metrics show 1.8M+ users, 100+ partners and clients, and 180M+ total transactions. Metadium has also celebrated reaching more than one million META wallets.
Governance is managed through autonomous node authority and on-chain governance contracts, supporting an open, participatory, and evolving ecosystem.
Metadium uses a public blockchain with autonomous node authority and on-chain governance contracts. The network is EVM-compatible and designed for enterprise-grade workloads with 4,000+ TPS throughput. Specific details about the consensus mechanism and mining or staking participation are not extensively detailed in available public materials. Node permission controls are part of the network's security and compliance framework. Those interested in participating in network operations should consult the official documentation and resources provided by the Metadium project.
Keeping META tokens safe requires following standard cryptocurrency security practices. Since Metadium is an EVM-compatible blockchain, users can store META in wallets that support Ethereum-compatible tokens. Always verify the official contract address before interacting with any token.
Use hardware wallets for long-term storage of significant holdings. For everyday transactions, choose reputable software wallets with strong security features. Never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Enable two-factor authentication where available.
When interacting with dApps or smart contracts on Metadium, verify the authenticity of the application through official channels. Be cautious of phishing attempts and fake websites. The official Metadium website and block explorer are reliable sources for verifying network information.
Metadium's blockchain includes node permission controls and data encryption for privacy, providing a secure foundation. However, individual security practices remain essential for protecting your assets.
