The Metis Ecosystem Development Fund (MetisEDF) is a 4.6 million METIS fund dedicated to accelerating adoption in the Metis ecosystem. The MetisEDF will be used to fund grants for new project deployments, product development for existing dApps, Builder Mining rewards, sequencer mining, and more.

Sequencer Mining

3,000,000 METIS (65.4%)

Allocating three million METIS from the MetisEDF, 65% of which will be dedicated to sequencer mining, ensures network functionality and decentralization.

This initiative drives demand for sequencer slots, enhancing liquidity depth and participation rates until self-sustainability is reached.
