Messier is a fully automated, community-owned Web3 ecosystem made up of decentralized applications that all contribute to the strength and value of the M87 token. At the center is VirgoDAO, which manages proposals, investments, and rewards entirely through smart contracts, without any middleman.
Each service generates utility fees for the DAO Treasury, fueling new investments and recurring M87 buybacks and burns. Actions such as trading on the P2P Exchange, earning from NFTs, submitting ideas, sending tokens anonymously with Horizon, or spending crypto with a debit card, are designed to strengthen the ecosystem.
VirgoDAO is the first fully automated, decentralized autonomous organization at the heart of the Messier ecosystem. Every step, from proposal submission and voting to investment execution and reward distribution, is handled automatically via smart contracts. The DAO collects utility fees from all connected dApps, directly managing these revenues for strategic investments and future buybacks and burns of the M87 token. M87 stakers are in control: the top 87 stakers can submit proposals for all other M87 stakers to vote on. All stakers collectively share 12.13% of the proceeds after every successful investment.[7][1]
The Messier legacy includes a collection of 110 utility NFTs. Each unique NFT represents a celestial object cataloged by Charles Messier. These are not just collectibles; they generate income (12.13% DAO rewards via $MTT, 0.87% via $MOTT after each investment) and provide exclusive perks. This includes discounts and access to dApps, such as zero trading fees on the P2P Exchange, adding significant value.
Holders can access a dedicated Virgo dashboard to auction their NFTs for ETH. A 4% resale fee applies, with proceeds sent to the Virgo treasury. Additionally, Messier NFT holders may receive discounts or exemptions on fees when using Messier’s dApps, enhancing the NFT’s utility. [2][8]
Messier AI is an expanding ecosystem focused on computational solutions for artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data processing. It includes Messier GPU Nodes, a platform that connects server owners with users needing high-powered GPUs, offering a direct rental model as an alternative to traditional cloud services. [20]
Messier GPU Nodes is the first product under Messier AI. It provides a platform that connects server owners with users needing high-performance GPUs. Designed for AI processing, machine learning, and other intensive applications, it enables direct rentals of existing server resources rather than on-demand instances or clusters.
The platform categorizes servers using AI for optimal matches and supports applications like Jupyter Notebooks with SSH connections. Each server functions independently within a decentralized network, enhancing performance and scalability. M87 token holders benefit from reduced fees through VirgoDAO, while MTT token holders receive discounts on node deployment fees. Future plans include expanding cloud services and refining platform capabilities. [13] [18]
OpenHatch, available on Web3 and Telegram, enables P2P transactions for Real-World Assets and Services. It provides a method for trading by holding buyer payments in decentralized escrow until the seller confirms delivery or service completion. OpenHatch is designed to ensure that both parties receive what they agreed upon.[3][9][10]
Horizon is a compliant zk-SNARK anonymization service on Web3 and Telegram. It provides anonymity for untraceable token transfers without needing a wallet connection. Operating within government-approved frameworks, it is suitable for projects, KOLs, and whales who require private yet compliant transactions. It was developed by Messier Tech and verified by auditor Beosin.[5][11][12]
Adastra is a payment application and point-of-sale solution. It is designed to handle various aspects of crypto finances, including private cross-chain swaps, NFTs, bank payments, bills, and payment requests. Adastra also offers virtual and physical crypto debit cards for spending cryptocurrency. The application is available on the Google Play and Apple App Stores.[4]
The Messier P2P Exchange is a fully decentralized, on-chain platform for P2P swaps. It is designed to eliminate MEV risks, buy and sell token taxes, and slippage.
Accessible via Web3 or Telegram, the P2P Exchange is supported by over 150 P2P partners.[14]
The Messier Innovators Hub is a platform designed to turn community ideas into Web3 products. Through a gasless voting system, one idea is selected each quarter to be developed by the Messier team. The proposer of the selected idea receives 30% of its future revenue, with the remaining 70% being directed back into the Messier ecosystem. The platform is intended to foster innovation within the community. [15]
Holding and staking M87 is the mechanism by which participants can benefit from the growth and success of the ecosystem. The token supply is fully distributed and deflationary. After each DAO investment round (Supernova), any $ETH in the Treasury above 87 ETH is used to buy back and burn M87 tokens, reducing the supply and increasing liquidity. To demonstrate long-term commitment, the token’s liquidity is locked for 10 years by @UNCX_token-Network (Unicrypt), with multiple audits conducted by leading firms.
M87 is available on six major centralized exchanges, on Uniswap, and can be traded without token tax or slippage through the Messier P2P Exchange.[6]
