October Builder Mining Rewards is LIVE 🔥
Top 5 performers driving on-chain activity this month:
🥇 @Feedbyhash
🥈 @netswapofficial
🥉 @LayerZero_Core
4 @wagmicom
5 @TheHerculesDEX
Real dapps. Real transactions. Real traction.
Congrats to all builders 🎉
A major step forward for Metis.
With DSeq adding post-quantum signatures and Ziren powering verifiable execution, the Metis Hybrid Rollup is moving toward a more secure, verifiable infrastructure.
And this is just the beginning.
The Metis Hybrid Rollup is now running on devnet.
Having led the decentralized sequencer work at Metis, I’m glad to see DSeq adding post-quantum signatures while Ziren proves the chain.
The same sequencer upgrade is under way on @GOATNetwork.
Ziren ran on @GOATNetwork first. Now it's on Metis, on devnet.👏
We battle tested our Ziren ZK tech (@ProjectZKM) on @GOATNetwork to bring it home to @MetisL2.
Now, Metis users will get the best of both worlds: fast withdrawals and the peace of mind of post-quantum security.
By combining optimistic execution with ZK validity proofs, the Hybrid Rollup is delivering faster, more verifiable infrastructure.
And with post-quantum security built into the roadmap, Metis is preparing for what comes next. ⚡
Good day to be building here.🩵👏👀
The industry is demanding a higher standard: readiness and hardened infrastructure. As AI, privacy, quantum resilience and more commerce move onchain, the rails have to hold. Building it today @MetisL2

Ziren’s validity proofs are now running on Metis’s devnet, and they can be verified on the EVM two ways:
• Groth16 wrapper: about 233k gas, 260-byte proof
• Direct hash-based verifier: about 13.6M gas, 182 KB proof, in a single transaction and without an elliptic-curve wrapper
The work ahead on the proof side is bringing that second cost down, and replacing the elliptic curve still used for the memory check inside each proof.

The Metis Post-Quantum Hybrid Rollup is now live on Devnet. This significant milestone in Metis's infrastructure evolution brings its Hybrid Rollup vision one step closer to reality.
The next phase of development begins.
The Metis Hybrid Rollup is live on Devnet. ZK validity proofs verify execution on-chain, aiming to cut withdrawal delays.
Faster settlement is only part of it. The work also builds a post-quantum path for scaling Ethereum.

Metis announced the Hybrid Rollup in 2023, so why is it only happening now?
Two main reasons.
Metis runs its own version of the OP Stack, so proving it meant building a zkVM for the MIPS program Metis already uses for fraud proofs - not grabbing an off-the-shelf prover and rewriting Metis in another language. Ziren was the harder path for our developers, and making it production-grade - through external security reviews, and now fast enough to prove Ethereum blocks in real time - took time.
Also, while it was being built, post-quantum went from a background concern to having a concrete deadline. NIST retires today’s curves by 2035, so the Ziren proof path is being made hash-based from end to end - no wrapper, switched in module by module.
This has all taken time, energy, and resources. But the result will be a post-quantum secure hybrid rollup on Ethereum. Worth the work and the wait.
In 2023, we announced a Hybrid Rollup that depended on a prover that didn't exist yet.
While it was being built, post-quantum went from a concern to a deadline.
The Hybrid Rollup is live on Devnet, with a hash-based proof path in progress.
How does Metis Rise rank builders?
Your ranking is based on two factors:
• 80% — Valid Monthly Active Users
• 20% — METIS gas consumption
Settled volume helps qualify users against the activity threshold, but does not directly affect your ranking.
The focus is on real user adoption, not inflated numbers.

Agents are becoming a sales channel, and most small merchants aren’t set up for it.
From the @KBWofficial stage, CEO @KevinLiu explains why that matters for local businesses: agent commerce is another way to find your next big customers, and GOAT Flow gets your products ready, discovered, and purchasable by agents.

Metis Rise: 6 things builders can't afford to miss
1/ $1,500 every month. Top 3 split it: $800 / $450 / $250
2/ Only 1 builder qualifies? They take the full $800
3/ Open to ALL builders, not just bootcamp participants
4/ Any framework or host: ClawUp, GOAT AgentKit, self-hosted
Where does an L2 start on quantum readiness?
The EF's PQ team lists four places: sequencer and admin keys, bridges, user accounts via account abstraction, and for zk-rollups, the proof system.
The pattern: a few keys controlling a lot of value.
Ziren is coming to Metis.👏👏👏
Our team has taken the hard path on every decision for many years.
Build a zkVM from scratch on MIPS. A working decentralized sequencer set. A truly trust-minimized Bitcoin bridge. Post-quantum security in progress across the stack. And now real-time proving on Ethereum.
Ziren is already the heart of GOAT Network, and work is now underway to bring it to Metis.

Privacy is an important part of making blockchain more practical for everyday use.
Through our partnership with @SilentSwap, we're taking the first step by bringing private swaps to the Metis ecosystem.
Together, we're exploring new ways to make private digital commerce more accessible. Swaps are just the beginning. 🔐
SilentSwap and Metis Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Private Digital Commerce
We’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with @MetisL2, bringing together two teams with a shared vision for the future of privacy and digital commerce.
As demand for financial privacy continues to grow, making private transactions accessible, practical, and easy to use is becoming increasingly important.
Our first step is bringing SilentSwap’s privacy swap capabilities to the Metis ecosystem, giving users greater control over how they transact while expanding access to private digital commerce.
This initial integration marks the beginning of our collaboration, with both teams working toward making privacy a more accessible part of everyday blockchain transactions.
We’re excited about what lies ahead and the opportunities this partnership creates for both ecosystems.
SilentSwap × Metis
Bringing privacy to digital commerce, one integration at a time.
Private commerce could be an important part of blockchain's next adoption phase.
Together with @SilentSwap, we're exploring how privacy solutions can become more accessible and relevant to everyday onchain transactions.
Swaps are just the beginning.
