Questions

What does Metis do?

Metis is doing many things to benefit the whole Metis ecosystem. We work to:

Advance blockchain technology by scaling Ethereum with a Smart Layer 2

Accelerate the world’s transition to an open, fair, and decentralized economy, where anyone anywhere can thrive, by pioneering and empowering DAC

Metis is making it a whole lot simpler for anyone to take advantage of blockchain technology with little to no blockchain coding knowledge.

How does Metis benefit me?

Anyone can benefit greatly from joining Metis ― from a developer, a project team, a startup or scaleup, to an established enterprise.

Blockchain technology and its various crypto implementations are relatively new in the technology landscape. This newness brings along high levels of complexities, limitations, and costs.

‍Metis is making blockchain accessible, affordable, and adaptable for anyone to build, run, and grow any app, business, and community using blockchain technology.

‍Metis is also benefiting the users of apps, customers of businesses, and members of communities, by making its on-chain transactions super fast, cheap, and secure.

What problems does Metis solve?

Metis is solving the persistent blockchain trilemma for Ethereum, making it possible to achieve all of the 3 desirable properties of blockchain:

Decentralization

Security

Scalability

The huge increase in demand for Ethereum has caused transaction prices to spike while transaction speeds lag. As Ethereum Smart L2, Metis increases both transaction speed (licketdy split faster finality) and throughput (a whole lot more transactions per second).

Most importantly, Metis is creating solutions that are accessible, affordable, and adaptable ― so that anyone can build, run, and grow any app, business, and community using blockchain technology.
