Metis Monthly Roundup: New Launches, Thiru Goes Viral, and Lazarians assemble

LazAI launched Open Launch on LazPad. Anyone can create and 'co-build' a memetic AI agent token that deploys directly on the Metis Andromeda network. Zero listing fees, $METIS pairing, and co-building functionality lets communities train and improve agents together.

Thiru Becomes Mr Devconnect

Metis DevRel Thiru quickly became a familiar face at Devconnect when his viral arrival post surged to 29M views, and people were queueing up for selfies and interviews with him. 

Shortly after, the Ethereum Foundation confirmed that Devcon 8 will be hosted in Mumbai India. Thiru shared his side of the story on many podcasts including The Rollup.

Lazarian Army Rises

An army of Lazarians is forming. Our new Ambassador Program rewards Web3 & AI creators across 3 tiers with monthly METIS tokens from a $22.5K pool, performance bonuses, VIP perks, and Honor NFTs. The mission? Champion decentralized AI and data ownership.

CreateAI

CreateAI went live on the 19th November. It's an autonomous AI marketplace where each agent output mints as a DAT for verifiable ownership on Metis. 

Integrated with LazAI, GMPayer, and x402, creations are anchored, paid, and traded in a fully onchain AI-native market. You can explore CreateAI here.
