Summer in the Metis ecosystem is nothing but great vibes and outstanding innovation. June was marked by growth, further expanding the Metis ecosystem. We’ve seen considerable enhancements and strategic partnerships, leading up to an extreme increase in Metis Daily Active Users.
Judging by ecosystem DeFi analytics, it looks like the trend is not slowing down.
Let’s go over some of June’s highlights on Metis:
A first-of-its-kind concept was introduced by the Metis Foundation in the form of an upcoming econode: Project M (Now known as ZKM), an advanced zero-knowledge proof solution for [redacted] architecture.
Embracing a forward-thinking, open-source approach, Project M is honing in on Ethereum’s key challenges and presenting some smart solutions.
Through the use of ZK technology, it enables fast transactions with the highest level of security. No more zkEVM overhauls. Project M will offer a streamlined connection to Ethereum ecosystem where any Layer 1 blockchain can securely join the party.
The official white paper has not been released yet, but
To start June, $70,000 in incentives were allocated for MaiaDAO’s UniV3, boosting the METIS-USDC and ETH-USDC pools. This campaign is a step forward in bringing ample liquidity to the Metis ecosystem.
This iniciative also highlights the impact of concentrated liquidity. With less than $1 million of TVL in a CLAMM pool, we observed even better efficiency than on traditional Uni V2 pools with tens of millions of USD. Concentrated liquidity optimizes capital efficiency and enables traders to swap with minimal price impact, simultaneously bolstering returns for LPs.
The campaign has succesfully increased TVL and Volume on Maia Uni V3📈
Athena Finance has officially been deployed on Metis by the Vector team. It is initially building on top of Hummus Finance, and aims to democratize access to optimized returns, regardless of market conditions or individual DeFi expertise.
