Metis Decentralized Sequencers Reboot: Expanding Ecosystem Benefits

At Metis, we are always looking for ways to enhance our ecosystem's and its contributors' success, aligning more towards the needs and achievements of our builders and users. The Metis Decentralized Sequencers (DSEQ) Reboot marks a significant milestone in this journey. This initiative is more than just a refresh; we’re taking an important step forward to bring new opportunities for builders and users while reinforcing our decentralized infrastructure's foundation.

Why DSEQ Reboot?

The DSEQ Reboot is built on the belief that innovation is not just about what’s next but also about improving what already exists. By relaunching the DSEQ program, we aim to:

• Provide new and improved contribution opportunities for the community to earn
• Support projects with tools and benefits that enable growth and deeper ecosystem collaboration
• Develop a more substantial alignment between users, the ecosystem, and Metis’s technical foundation

The DSEQ reboot is our commitment to finding new pathways to success and maintaining a collaborative and high achieving ecosystem that evolves with the needs of its participants. So let’s break it down.

Reward Tracks

The DSEQ Reboot introduces a carefully designed Performance-based rewards system  to drive meaningful contributions:

• DSEQ Node Rewards: Up to 5,000 METIS/month based on performance
• Node & LST Protocol Rewards: Up to 10,000 METIS/month in addition to node rewards
• Metisian Rewards: Partnered tokens to boost engagement and ecosystem collaboration by cross-pollinating several projects with one rewards mechanism
• Special Consideration: Extra rewards for exceptional performance or unique opportunities that provide concrete value, decided by Metis leadership

Note: Those in the Node & LST protocol category can apply for ALL TRACKS as the LST rewards are for the ADDED VALUE to the DSEQ rewards.

What Does This Mean for Projects?

For projects, Metis DSEQ Reboot is a chance to grow, engage meaningfully with communities, and collaborate across our ecosystem. By introducing performance-based rewards, we aim to incentivize achievements and provide tangible support to help projects expand their presence and visibility, onboard new users, and generate sustainable transaction activity. Hence, the performance-based reward structure encourages sustainable growth while providing the resources needed for expansion, including technical support and tools designed for user acquisition and engagement.

What Does This Mean for Users?

For our community, it is an invitation to participate, engage, and be part of a value creation process for themselves and the entire ecosystem. Instead of earning rewards only for yourself—it’s also about aligning incentives for a thriving ecosystem where your involvement helps expand the benefits of Metis. Every interaction matters, and every action contributes to collective success.

A Two-Pronged Approach

The Metis Decentralized Sequencers Reboot is built on two key pillars:

1. Enhanced Rewards: We introduce performance-based rewards for DSEQ nodes and LST protocols. These rewards encourage impactful contributions while providing well-deserved recognition and support. Projects can also apply for marketing subsidies to extend their reach and boost community engagement.
2. Strategic Collaboration: Our business development efforts are focused on attracting reputable projects, offering tailored incentives, and nourishing deeper collaboration within the ecosystem. We aim to create opportunities that benefit everyone involved through partnerships and targeted support.

Scaling Success Together

The Metis DSEQ Reboot is a shared journey. By aligning the success of projects, users, and the broader Metis ecosystem, a foundation is being built for sustainable growth and innovation. This campaign is meant to reinforce our vision of building a truly decentralized, collaborative network where every participant has the opportunity to thrive.
