What is Metis?
Metis is a permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 network built to ease the cost and congestion problems on the Ethereum mainnet. It launched in 2021, founded by Elena Sinelnikova, Kevin Liu and Yuan Su, with the aim of giving developers a faster, cheaper home for decentralised applications.
It uses Optimistic Rollup technology to handle transactions off-chain while still settling to Ethereum for security, so activity clears in seconds at a fraction of mainnet gas costs. Because it stays compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, existing smart contracts and developer tools work on Metis with little change, and a decentralised sequencer helps avoid a single point of failure.
METIS is the network's native utility token. It is used to pay transaction fees, to take part in on-chain governance, and for staking that helps secure the network, and it circulates across the DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces and Web3 apps built on Metis.

FAQ
Buying Metis: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of Metis I can buy?
You can start small. On Digital Surge you do not need to buy a whole coin, so a modest amount of AUD is enough to get your first METIS, and the current minimum order shows on screen next to the live price before you confirm.
How soon can I buy Metis after signing up?
Most people are ready within minutes. Once your account is verified, a PayID deposit of AUD usually lands in under a minute, so you can go from creating an account to buying METIS at the live price in a single sitting.
Can I sell my Metis back to AUD later?
Yes, you can cash out whenever you like. Sell your METIS back to Australian dollars on Digital Surge at the live rate, then withdraw the AUD to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in, so you decide how long you hold.
What is METIS used for on the Metis network?
METIS is the network's utility token. It pays transaction fees, lets holders take part in on-chain governance, and can be staked to help secure the network. It also circulates across the DeFi protocols and NFT marketplaces built on Metis.
How is Metis different from the Ethereum mainnet?
Metis is an Optimistic Rollup Layer 2, so it processes transactions off-chain and settles them back to Ethereum. In practice that means activity clears in seconds rather than minutes and gas costs sit well below mainnet, while Ethereum still provides the underlying security.
How do I check the live Metis price in AUD?
