Metis Andromeda Mainnet is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, launched on November 19, 2021. It utilizes its native token, METIS, for transaction fees, reducing reliance on Ethereum's native currency. The network employs a Hybrid Rollup architecture, combining Optimistic Rollups with Zero-Knowledge proofs to enhance scalability and security. A key feature is its Decentralized Sequencer, which distributes transaction ordering and execution across multiple verifiers, enhancing network resilience.
In May 2025, the Andromeda Upgrade introduced Fraud Proofs and migrated Data Availability to the Ethereum mainnet, marking Metis as the first fully decentralized Layer 2 network. This upgrade leverages Ethereum's security while maintaining high performance.
Metis Andromeda supports decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, offering a scalable and secure environment for developers. Its compatibility with Ethereum's ecosystem allows for seamless integration of existing Ethereum-based dApps.
The network's native token, METIS, is used for transaction fees and can be acquired through various exchanges. Developers can interact with the network via RPC endpoints, with public options available for development and testing purposes.
