How it works

• A hard fork of Optimism (9-11-2021)

Roadmap

• Can be found [Insert link here].

Competition

• Arbitrum, ZkSync, Optimism and other optimistic rollup L2s for Ethereum.

• From The Defiant (9-11-2021):

"Metis’ $100M venture stands out among L2 solutions using Optimistic rollups — Arbitrum and Optimism, the two leaders in the category, have yet to deploy funds in order to bootstrap activity on their solutions.

While actually a hard fork of Optimism, Metis differentiates itself from its “parent” by using multiple sequencers, the software which stores and submit transactions, as opposed to one, as Optimism does. The company believes this offers higher degrees of decentralization than Optimism."
