Andromeda, the L2 mainnet, was implemented in Mid November, and is very impressive relative to other L2s by using parallel sequencers that allow for infinite scalability (theortically) unlike other optimistic roll ups
3/ $METIS has a <1 second transaction finality compared to Optimism which is much longer
I have yet to experience as near instant transactions as Andromeda across all alt L1 and L2 chains
4/ Transaction costs are $2-5, currently
Even better, the launch of IPFS technology which will drive transaction cost to a few cents
12/ Let's not forget decentralization, a key focus of the @MetisDAO team
The team is building Decentralized Autonomous Company (DAC) infrastructure, "enabling anyone to build decentralized businesses on-chain, with all the real-world functions of a real-world company"
13/ Early investors are limited to 20% of the supply
While half of the lifetime supply is reserved for community mining purposes over 10 years
And the Builder's program has 30% of all gas fees rewarded to each DApps contribution to the ecosystem
19/ As the scalability war heats up between alt L1s and ETH L2s, @MetisDAO has high potential to compete with the likes of $SOL, $AVAX, and $MATIC, meanwhile it only has a mkt cap of ~$400mm and trades at 1x TVL
20/ Oh and did I forget to mention that while $BTC is down ~40% the past 2 months, $METIS is up 100%+
1/ #NFTs are showing the power of an idea and movement among a group of people with a similar ideology or passion. And #NFTs becoming a symbol by which these groups identify themselves in the digital world
2/ It may be hard to see the value here but imagine being buying digital memorabilia of your favorite sports team vs a team you have never heard of. I doubt you would be as price sensitive for something that you identify with.
3/ And these #NFT communities are lively! Most notably is the @BoredApeYC. They have a roadmap and currently the floor price is ~39 ETH minimum (~$120k). To be a part of this, you need to own a Bored Ape NFT
