Metaforge.dev: Helping Web3 Projects Unf*ck Their Backends

> Written by Nick R. – Web3 Builder & Research Guy

Let’s be real most of Web3 (the crypto space in general) is full of noise.

New tokens every day. Flashy websites. Overhyped “meta” trends. But behind all of that? 80% of it is straight-up garbage. Rug pulls, fake promises, and projects that vanish before even launching something usable.

That’s why Metaforge.dev stood out to me.

No noise. No fluff. A team quietly building backend systems that real projects DAOs, protocols, and digital orgs actually use to run their operations.

What Metaforge is doing

Metaforge is a dev agency. They act more like a deep tech ops partner helping Web3 teams launch faster, automate smarter, and scale cleaner.

They’ve built systems like:

- DAO proposal + voting logic

- Dynamic staking and rewards engines

- Contributor tracking across Discord, GitHub, and wallet activity

- Custom dashboards for ops, token data, and treasury insights

- API-first tooling that plugs into launchpads, dApps, and governance flows

Everything is modular. Nothing is cookie cutter. Every product is delivered with a custom flow that actually fits the team using it.

But more than just the tech, it’s the process. Metaforge doesn’t take months. They move fast. They work async. They don’t drown in meetings or fluff specs they ask the right questions, map what you need, and ship it.

This alone puts them miles ahead of 90% of "dev shops" in the space.

Quiet team. Loud results.

You’re not gonna see Metaforge spamming Twitter, running fake collabs, or hyping something that doesn’t exist. That’s not how they work.

But when you talk to teams that’ve used their systems the feedback is the same:

> “Delivered on time, and it just worked.”

> “Best backend experience we’ve had.”

> “Did more in 10 days than most do in 2 months.”

They’ve built for NFT projects, DAOs, early-stage protocols and a lot of it runs quietly under the surface. Many of the tools aren’t even branded. They’re meant to blend into the projects they power. White-label, custom, clean.

There’s no obsession with clout here. Just clean delivery.

ArikOS: Their next big thing

Right now, the Metaforge team is working on something called ArikOS a full Web3 ops layer that bundles all the systems they’ve already delivered into one modular suite.

Governance. Contributor logic. Treasury controls. Reward engines. Analytics. All under one roof.

It’s like a Web3 startup kit for serious teams that want to get running without wasting 6 months patching together random tools.

And the best part? It’s not vaporware. It’s being built off of real tools already used in production. Private rollout starts Q3 2025.

Who’s running it?

The team works async and global small, focused, and built for speed. At the core is Meswar Al Arik, the founder and majority owner of Metaforge, leading the overall direction, product strategy, and operations.

Alongside him is James Lee, co-founder and lead developer, responsible for turning the vision into functional code. While James handles the builds, Arik drives the roadmap, manages client relationships, and keeps the entire system moving forward.

It’s a sharp split between vision and execution and it’s clearly working.

And unlike a lot of founder-led teams, Metaforge isn’t trying to become influencers or personalities. No one’s building a brand off fake alpha. They’re just doing the actual work and letting the results talk.

Final thought

Most teams in this space build decks.

Metaforge builds systems.

They’re not trying to impress the timeline. They’re focused on shipping clean, scalable tools that let other teams succeed.

In a space where most projects are faking it ‘til they rug it — Metaforge is quietly proving that Web3 infrastructure doesn’t need hype to matter.

You just need to build something that works.

They’re already doing that.
