Metis Releases 2026 Strategy: Focus on Deep Integration of AI and High-Performance Blockchain

Metis' decentralized coordinator Natalia Ameline released a community letter today outlining the project's core strategic direction for 2026. The letter emphasizes that as the market shifts from speculation to real-world applications, Metis will focus on the deep integration of AI and high-performance blockchain. Metis has built a unified stack including the settlement layer Andromeda, the high-performance layer Hyperion, and the application data layer LazAI. Andromeda offers transaction fees of around $0.01 and confirmation times of less than two seconds, while Hyperion increases transaction processing capacity by over 50% through parallel execution. The METIS token has become the native Gas token for LazAI, achieving a single-token economy for the entire ecosystem. On the application side, CreateAI has created 20,000 pieces of work within three hours, and the AI companion DAT Lazbubu whitelist event attracted over 90,000 participants. The payment product GMPayer has achieved AI agent autonomous transactions.
