Layer 2, don’t just focus on $ARB $OP , it’s more important to seize more differentiated opportunities in the same track! Even better profit and loss ratio! More valuable to participate in!
As the first Layer 2 to complete the decentralization of the sorter, #metis has temporarily differentiated itself on the L2 track by virtue of this!
At the same time, in terms of data processing, Metis only transmits core data that can be verified to the Ethereum chain, and other transaction data is stored using decentralized storage (further reducing costs) ~
This article will give you other potential opportunities to extend the Layer 2 narrative from 4 perspectives!
01丨Metis technical principle
The following figure shows two aspects of Metis core:
Decentralized sorting pool;
data submission;
-Let’s talk about the sorter pool first
Through the consensus algorithm, the sequencers in this pool can package transactions in rotation and operate in a decentralized manner. This is different from the single sequencer used by the mainstream and reduces the risk of single point of failure, that is, centralization and The decentralized difference.
This pool model and Metis' node network are combined with each other, which is why Metis is sufficiently differentiated in its ecological niche in this aspect.
- Let’s talk about how to submit data
This is a way to further reduce costs. Different from other L2, Metis divides transaction transactions into two parts, only submitting the core transactions that can be used to verify the correctness of the transaction to the Ethereum chain, and submitting the remaining complete transaction data to the off-chain entity Memolabs (a decentralized storage project), through The above methods are used to further reduce costs and decentralize the sorter structure.
A broad summary may help you understand: decentralized storage + OP Rollup = Metis
If you don’t understand the OP’s [Proof of Fraud], you can look at the picture below:
02丨TVL value growth trend
The following figure shows the changes in TVL growth calculated by the L2BEAT data website: It can be seen from the steepness of the curve that the growth trend of Metis in the past month is very strong and significant. It currently ranks 4th in TVL in the L2 track, only Second to Arb, OP and Manta.
03丨Market value and trend analysis
The current market value of Metis is over 500 million, which is still far behind ARB&OP. Against the backdrop of Ethernet upgrades, Layer competition and landscape changes have become more intense. At least in terms of the sequencer process, Metis has a leading position in the market. Have sufficient differentiation and market consensus.
综合历史走势看，当前的价格也来到的近一年的高位，在宏观预期开始向好以及以太升级的背景下，是很有预期冲破2022年1-4月所处的125-150价格阻力区域的。
In addition, it needs to be mentioned: Metis’ token empowerment and application are very strong, at least better than other competitors in the same track.
Metis's decentralized sorter means sharing the income obtained by the sorter. This income will attract many suppliers to participate. The participation threshold is that each node needs to pledge at least 20,000 $METIS.
This staking mechanism will further reduce the already limited $METIS circulating supply, resulting in a very positive catalytic effect.
Their recent decentralized sorter community test event will begin on the 15th, Eastern Time. Participating in the test has a high chance of receiving an airdrop!

04丨Metis’ differentiated extension
📍“What Metis can do, can other projects do it?”
It can be done, and even as time goes by, this kind of business will gradually converge. After all, decentralization is the basis of industry consensus. But it seems that the currency circle has a very stubborn obsession with being first. The consensus on first-mover advantage is incomparable. Deeply rooted in people's hearts, the market will often only remember who did it first.
In the currency circle, whoever does it first and the market knows that he is doing it is more important!
For example, ARB is the No. 1 ecosystem, OP is a one-click chain launcher, Manta is a modular L2, and Metis is the first to implement a decentralized sorter.
If there is not enough differentiation, in an extremely competitive track, it may not even be able to chew the bones!
It can almost be said: L2’s various launch/differentiation consensuses are a symbol of the ecological authority of the Ethereum system!
