Metis releases 2026 strategy: Focus on promoting the deep integration of AI and high-performance blockchain

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 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-driven to real-world applications, Metis will focus on advancing the deep integration of AI and high-performance blockchains.

It is reported that Metis has built a unified stack including the settlement layer Andromeda, the high-performance layer Hyperion, and the application data layer LazAI. Among them, Andromeda offers transaction fees of approximately $0.01 and confirmation times of less than two seconds. Hyperion enhances transaction processing capacity by over 50% through parallel execution. The METIS token has now become the native gas token for LazAI, enabling a single-token economy across the entire ecosystem.

On the application layer, CreateAI minted 20,000 works within three hours, and the AI companion-based DAT Lazbubu whitelist event attracted over 90,000 participants. The payment product GMPayer has achieved autonomous AI agent trading.
