Matters Lab was established in 2018. Our initiatives include using decentralization tools to protect digital rights, designing a self-governing system and community, and inventing models for a new creator economy. Starting from the community, Matters Lab is exploring the next generation of distributed content ecosystems, which need more solid product and technology exploration and faster iteration.

Who We Are?

In 2019, Matters was selected for one of the largest accelerators in Taiwan and Southeast Asia, AppWorks. In 2020, Matters received the Google News Initiative Innovation Challenge Award, was selected as one of the Media-X projects supported by Yifang Capital and Xu Foundation, and received the “Grant for the Web” flagship grant, Coil Foundation, and Mozilla support. In 2021, we joined the LongHashX Web3 Accelerator project and closed millions dollar Pre-A round of investment.
