Vital Block Security has announced its support of Metis as a blockchain network for Smart Contract Auditing and Security Services as part of its ongoing effort to expand on Layer-2 Security Solutions (2026). This announcement is yet another step towards fulfilling Vital Block’s vision of creating

Written by: Eric, Foresight News On the evening of December 22, Beijing time, LazAI, an AI data and application layer incubated by Metis, announced the official launch of its Alpha mainnet. The last time Metis left a deep impression on me was when it took the lead in launching a decentralized sequencer. As many L2s have turned towards a transaction-centric direction in recent years, why has Metis chosen AI with unwavering confidence? With questions in mind, we had a chat with Metis. Focusing on "data", Metis's unique approach The Metis team indicated to the author that the launch of LazAI was not a hasty decision in response to the AI craze. As early as the beginning of this year, Metis had established a strategic focus on AI, and LazAI has been in development for nearly a year.

Mars Finance reports that on December 5, the Aave community passed a temperature check vote to adjust the V3 multi-chain deployment strategy, with a support rate of 99.96%. The proposal recommends shutting down Aave V3 deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Soneium, and setting a $2 million revenue threshold for newly deployed chains. The Aave community will subsequently release a standard ARFC proposal.

The Aave community is considering shutting down some underperforming Aave branch instances on low-value blockchain networks, according to an ongoing discussion on the project's governance channel. "Each V3 instance of Aave incurs operational costs and expands the risk surface. Many current instances...

Aave DAO is considering shutting down underperforming instances on low-value networks such as zkSync, Metis, and Soneium. These have the lowest total value locked, with Metis generating an annualized revenue of just over $3,000, which is far below maintenance costs. The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) has proposed setting a $2 million annual revenue threshold for future deployments and establishing a stablecoin reserve factor for low-revenue chains.

DeFi lending leader Aave is rethinking its aggressive multi-chain expansion strategy. The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) has proposed to discontinue deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Soneium, as the annual yields on these chains are only marginal figures, far from covering operational costs. The once "multi-chain maximalists" are now facing reality: the era of efficiency first has arrived.

According to Mars Finance, on November 27, the AI token issuance platform LazPad Open Launch has gone live on the Metis Andromeda network, providing a new token issuance mechanism based on the LazAI DAT (Data Anchored Token) standard and Bonding Curve. The newly launched "Co-build Agent" model allows the community to participate in AI Agent training through interaction and data contribution during the token issuance period, and obtain "Co-build Points" as future airdrop credentials. In the issuance process, Open Launch is fully driven by Bonding Curve. When the fundraising amount reaches 1,067

According to Shenchao TechFlow, on November 3, LazAI jointly developed with ZKM and officially launched the first multi-currency payment hub powered by x402—GMPayer, in collaboration with Metis and GOAT Network. This platform is dedicated to building a decentralized multi-chain and multi-currency payment system that supports instant and trustless interactions between AI Agents. GMPayer will evolve through a four-phase development path, starting from establishing a basic payment hub and gradually advancing to a universal value exchange layer that supports seamless interaction across AI, data, and services. GMPayer relies on four core strengths to build its technological ecosystem: LazAI binds data sources, rights, and benefits directly to datasets and models through the Data Anchored Token (DAT) standard; ZKM utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to ensure the verifiability and decentralization of x402 transactions; Metis serves as the execution and settlement.

METIS is testing support at $14.79 while facing resistance at $15.69 within a symmetrical triangle. The asset shows consolidation, with potential for a breakout toward $65 if it surpasses resistance, while current trading remains cautious around key levels.

Many people believe that the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem is beyond saving, but that is not the case. From the perspective of the TPS arms race, there is indeed a sense of decline. However, after the Pectra technology upgrade, if some layer 2s can redefine their positioning, they might still have a fighting chance? Recently, Metis released the strategic roadmap for All in AI. Can this alternative choice break the current impasse in layer 2? Come, let me share my observations: 1) To be honest, the fundamental issue facing the current Layer 2 ecosystem is not a lack of technical capability, but rather the solidification of narrative boundaries. Most projects are still relying on the linear thinking of "faster speeds and cheaper Gas," which has led to an excessive number of generic Layer 2s, with diminishing technical differences, while the real pain point for users—the lack of killer applications—remains unaddressed.

> Metis' exploration has opened a new path for the development of Layer 2. In a time of severe technical homogenization, scene differentiation may be the key to breaking through. Written by: Haotian Many people believe that the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem is beyond saving, but that's not the case. If we look at it solely from the perspective of the TPS arms race, there is indeed a sense of decline. However, after the Pectra technology upgrade, if some Layer 2 solutions can reposition themselves correctly, they might still have a fighting chance. Recently, @MetisL2 released a strategic roadmap called All in AI. Can this alternative choice break the current deadlock in Layer 2?

Metis, a layer 2 network, experienced a significant increase in network activity and transactions in Q4 2024. That is according to a new report released by Messari today. According to the report, Metis witnessed massive growth in the fourth quarter of 2024 as user activity in the network rose

According to DefiLlama data, the consumer-grade public chain Morph reached a volume of 2.18 million US dollars in the past 24 hours on January 8, surpassing metis/fuel, and ranking 11th in rollup, second only to opBNB. The daily transaction volume of Morph exceeds Scroll, reaching 18.

Metis restarts the Decentralization Sorter (DSEQ) to optimize the ecosystem and enhance user participation through performance rewards and LST incentives. As the first participant, ENKI will help improve Liquidity and promote the sustainable development of Decentralized Finance.

Despite decentralization being a main pillar of blockchain technology, Layer 2 (L2) scaling solutions utilize single sequencers to organize transactions and put them in a block for validation. From a user’s standpoint, this means lower gas fees and faster finality, but this comes at the hefty price

Metis and Skale, two Layer-2 tokens, show signs of recovery, potentially breaking above resistance levels. Traders and investors should watch these resistance zones closely. A breakout above these levels might signal the beginning of a bullish trend for both tokens.

Original author: Haotian If Ethereum ecology has entered the Decentralized Finance "old age" of the volume restaking points + lock ETH Liquidity war, Metis uses Decentralization Sequencer to form a linkage with the stake Mining of the @ENKIProtocol LST platform, and has the opportunity to reproduce the growth process of the Decentralized Finance "embryonic stage" on layer 2? Now, here are my thoughts: 1) When restaking platforms on Ethereum appear one after another, ETH native assets will become a source of contention between platforms. Therefore, a large number of platforms exchange the wrapped version of ETH for users' ETH assets, although the wrapped version of assets can also circulate and operate in the Decentralized Finance system, but users cannot

L2 network Metis announced the release of the Superfluid chain, aiming to form a network growth process and ecological positive cycle.
