What is METIS

1. Project Introduction
Metis is a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum that employs a decentralized sequencer pool and a hybrid rollup combining optimistic and zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to enhance security, sustainability, and decentralization. Metis aims to be the first fully decentralized Layer 2 infrastructure on Ethereum, introducing a PoS Decentralized Sequencer Pool to improve decentralization.
Summary: As an Ethereum Layer 2 network, Metis incorporates innovative technologies such as decentralized sequencer pools and hybrid rollups, focusing on high throughput and fast transactions while ensuring decentralization and security. In late 2023, Metis announced the launch of a $100 million Metis Ecosystem Development Fund to attract quality projects to its platform.
