METIS Metis Rank #803 $2.74 ▼ 1.44%

Metis is a multi-network ecosystem built on Ethereum-aligned Layer 2 infrastructure, designed to support scalable decentralized applications. Its architecture centers on two interoperating networks: Andromeda, an optimistic rollup optimized for secure general-purpose decentralized applications with Ethereum-level security, and Hyperion, a high-performance network tailored for AI-driven, DeFi, gaming, and decentralized physical infrastructure workloads. The ecosystem is powered by the MetisSDK, a development framework that enables builders to deploy across both networks while leveraging shared sequencing and execution components. The native token, METIS, functions as the gas asset powering transactions across the ecosystem and is used for network fees, staking, and participation in the decentralized sequencer operations. Metis positions itself within the broader Ethereum scaling landscape as a rollup-based Layer 2 platform with a dual-chain strategy, separating reliability-focused execution from performance-optimized computation. Its ecosystem spans decentralized finance, gaming, AI-native applications, and infrastructure projects, reflecting a focus on combining established rollup security with emerging use cases such as on-chain large language model inference.
