Metis ReGenesis: Andromeda Upgrade Roadmap – First Half of 2025

🚀 Metis ReGenesis: Andromeda Upgrade 🚀

Metis is excited to announce the Andromeda upgrade, the first half of our 2025 technical roadmap. This upgrade aims to enhance security, reduce costs, and align seamlessly with Ethereum’s latest advancements.

Since 2021, Metis has been on a mission to scale Ethereum while staying true to our principles of decentralization and innovation. We’ve launched the Decentralized Sequencers, built the fundamentals of a good decentralized chain, and showed our commitment through our actions.

We’ve got a deeper dive into the roadmap coming up so this one will focus succinctly on what we’ll be doing.

Quick Recap of Metis Architecture

Metis is an optimistic rollup offering:

• Fast and affordable Layer 2 (L2) transactions.
• Security anchored on Ethereum Layer 1 (L1).
• Decentralized sequencers, reducing single points of failure and enhancing resilience.

Building on this foundation, the Andromeda upgrade introduces two transformative milestones:

1. Fraud Proofs & Data Availability (Q1 2025): Bolstering network security and lowering transaction fees with EIP-4844 blobs.
2. Full EVM Equivalence (Q3 2025): Aligning with Ethereum’s latest features for a seamless developer experience.

Key Highlights of the Andromeda Upgrade

1. Q1 2025:
   • Fraud Proofs: Introduce robust mechanisms to challenge invalid transactions and ensure network integrity.
   • EIP-4844 Blobs: Leverage Ethereum’s cost-efficient data storage to reduce transaction fees.

1. Q3 2025:
   • Full EVM Equivalence: Achieve 1:1 compatibility with Ethereum’s EVM, enabling smooth deployment of contracts and seamless use of developer tools.

Why This Matters

The Andromeda upgrade positions Metis as a leading Layer 2 solution, offering:

• Enhanced security: Safeguard the network with fraud-proof capabilities.
• Lower costs: Make transactions more affordable for users.
• Improved compatibility: Simplify development with full alignment to Ethereum’s evolving ecosystem.

A Vision for the Future‍

This roadmap reflects our commitment to improving the Metis ecosystem while staying true to our ecosystem and users’ needs. Together, we are building a decentralized future where innovation thrives, transparency prevails, and the community is empowered.
