Hey everyone! We’re excited to share some great news — Metis, an Ethereum Layer 2 Rollup, is now LIVE on Router Nitro.

Now, you can bridge your favorite assets to Metis in record-short time. Check out the app and bridge to Metis here.

Since Nitro’s launch, it has only surprised the Web3 community with its capabilities!

Already facilitated over 600k transactions and get this: 75% of these transactions are completed in under 26 seconds, all WITHOUT high costs.

But today, we’re focusing on Metis, a superfluid, self-sustainable blockchain!

Metis L2 overcomes some of the major challenges of the Ethereum network, such as transaction speed, cost, and scalability.

Notably, Metis is the first Optimistic Rollup to achieve sequencer decentralization, eliminating single points of failure and aligning incentives among all network participants.

Why Metis Stands Out

  • Decentralized Sequencer: A unique feature among L2s, ensuring resilience and security.
  • Hybrid Rollup: Significantly reduces withdrawal times.
  • Full EVM Equivalence: Seamlessly transition from Ethereum to Metis without hassle.
  • DeFi: Use the bridge to participate in protocols on Metis such as Artemis Finance, Hercules, ENKI, and more.

As DeFi and NFTs have surged, so have Ethereum’s transaction fees, becoming a bottleneck. Metis extends Ethereum’s utility and paves the way for the future of blockchain technology. With the capacity to handle over a thousand transactions per second, Metis enhances Ethereum’s capabilities while preserving its core strengths.

How Does This Partnership Benefit You?

It’s simple — more options and easier integration!

Nitro supports 20+ chains, and now you can bridge assets between these chains and Metis (or vice versa) from a single dashboard with just one click.
