What is Metis?

Metis, a layer 2 roll-up on Ethereum, exclusively utilizes all Ethereum security and safety features. It originated as a fork from Optimism, another scalable layer 2 solution also operating under Ethereum. Metis runs on the Andromeda Network.

It is the first layer 2 with a fully decentralised sequencer (the tool responsible for handling on-chain transactions). Natalia Ameline (Vitalik Buterin's mother) is in charge of their 100M fund that is to boost engagement and development.

Why is Metis exploding?

As a layer 2 there is a series of factors that determine the growth of project,

the build structure of Metis foundation.

Metis has been striving to implement total decentralization (without a ruling organization and being run by the community). The presence of Natalia Ameline (Vitalik Buterin's mother) as one of the founders promotes strong confidence that Metis is aligning with Ethereum's long-term goals.

Rapid growth in the ecosystem.

Since launch, the project has secured close to $600m in TVL (total value locked) which provides enough stability to maintain and grow the project as a whole.

The Dapp (decentralised application) ecosystem has massively grown with the presence of usability and access to decentralised services.
