Welcome to our June review in the Metis Ecosystem! As we enter Q3, we are thrilled to share some exciting updates and significant milestones highlighting our dedication to innovation and decentralization. Last month was filled with truly groundbreaking developments, new partnerships, and community-driven initiatives that are shaping the future of our burgeoning network.
Dive in to explore the latest achievements and opportunities within our ecosystem.
Metis became the first L2 to enable shared network ownership. After launching the first decentralized sequencer, we selected external sequencer node operators, introduced distributed network ownership and influential governance roles. This move enhanced security and reduced failure risks by decentralizing the sequencer, our most critical infrastructure. Are you curious about how Metis is transforming the crypto space?
