Metis: A Decentralized Economy Platform
Elena Sinelnikova, Kevin Liu, Yuan Su
Abstract
The Metis whitepaper describes a Layer 2 infrastructure designed to facilitate a decentralized economy by integrating the 'Decentralized Autonomous Company' (DAC) framework. Building upon the Optimistic Rollup architecture, Metis aims to provide low-cost, high-speed transactions while enabling the creation of collaborative organizations on the blockchain. The paper outlines the technical infrastructure, including a sequencer pool mechanism and the governance model for DACs. It emphasizes the importance of community-based resource management and social scalability. By addressing the challenges of decentralized collaboration, Metis distinguishes itself from pure scaling solutions by focusing on the application-level ecosystem—specifically, providing tools for reputation systems, governance, and organizational management within the rollup environment. The proposal is significant for its vision of 'Web 3.0' as an engine for both efficient computation and decentralized economic coordination.
