According to ChainCatcher, Metis has launched a dual-chain strategy, released MetisSDK externally, and announced Hyperion, a high-performance chain for AI native applications based on MetisSDK.
Metis has made further strategic announcements regarding its dual-chain strategy. Metis aims to provide scalable, high-performance solutions for the entire blockchain ecosystem based on MetisSDK. Through this, it will build a complementary Layer2 ecosystem by integrating the AI-specific layer Hyperion (HYPE) with the base layer Andromeda.
Andromeda, as the first step in Metis' construction of a scalable decentralized infrastructure, has achieved a complete decentralized sequencer node architecture using Optimistic Rollup technology, focusing on general scenarios (such as DeFi and enterprise applications) while ensuring security and decentralization. Hyperion, based on MetisSDK, is composed of components like MetisVM and MetisDB. Metis SDK provides cross-chain development tools to achieve seamless interaction between the two chains; the METIS token will serve as the native gas Token for both chains.
It is reported that the Hyperion testnet is planned to go online by the end of April 2025, with the mainnet set to launch in August. Andromeda will undergo a Stage 0 upgrade in the near future and plans to achieve Stage 1 goals by the end of the year.
