Volume Bubbles Chart (1h)

Each 1-hour candle's volume is signed by its direction (up candles count as net buying, down candles as net selling) and drawn as a bubble at the closing price, green for buying and red for selling. Bubble size and colour intensity show how strong that flow is compared with the last 300 candles: the strongest 30% get full bubbles with their USD value, the rest stay as small dots. Unusually large bubbles flag aggressive buying or selling worth a closer look, often near breakouts, reversals or key levels.

Seasonal Chart

Plots one line per calendar year showing the % change since the start of that year, with the current year highlighted against up to four previous years. Lining the years up on the same calendar shows whether the price tends to rise or fall in the same months, helping you spot recurring seasonal patterns. Treat it as context rather than a forecast: past seasonality does not guarantee future moves.

Metis Historical Data

About Metis (METIS)

Metis is an Ethereum Layer 2 network designed to reduce transaction costs while retaining compatibility with Ethereum smart-contract tooling. Its developer documentation describes optimistic rollup technology and decentralized sequencing. The Andromeda network provides an environment where developers can deploy decentralized applications, while METIS is the project's token used across ecosystem and network-related functions. Metis's technical approach combines EVM compatibility with a sequencer design intended to distribute transaction ordering and block production beyond a single operator. The documentation presents decentralized sequencing as a way to reduce single points of failure. This is an architectural goal and implementation model, not a guarantee that every operational or economic risk has disappeared from the network. METIS has also been used in ecosystem incentive programs. Metis documentation describes Builder Mining Rewards with monthly allocations split between trading-volume-based rewards and special initiatives such as verifier rewards, staking and grants. Program budgets can change, and eligibility conditions matter, so current campaign pages should be checked before estimating what a builder or token holder may receive.

Andromeda and Ethereum compatibility

Andromeda is Metis's main Layer 2 network. The official docs describe EVM compatibility, which allows developers to use familiar Ethereum tools while deploying to a separate network with its own chain ID, RPC endpoints and bridge. Compatibility helps with tooling but does not mean that assets, liquidity or contract addresses are identical to Ethereum mainnet.

Decentralized sequencing

Metis promotes decentralized sequencing as part of its network design. Its sequencer documentation describes a pool with a minimum METIS lock-up, a cap for reward calculations and a 21-day exit period. These rules apply to the documented sequencer program and can change, so participants should confirm current requirements rather than rely on an old guide.

METIS and ecosystem incentives

METIS is connected to network operations and ecosystem programs, including rewards intended to support builders and sequencer participation. The published Builder Mining Rewards page lists a monthly allocation, while the ecosystem fund documentation describes separate allocations for sequencer mining and grants. Budget figures are program parameters, not guaranteed personal earnings or permanent tokenomics.

Developers and application growth

Metis provides infrastructure for decentralized applications that need Ethereum compatibility and lower transaction costs. Teams can deploy contracts and connect through documented RPC endpoints. Before going live, builders should review bridge assumptions, RPC reliability, contract audits and the current state of sequencer decentralization; lower fees do not remove the need for application security and careful user experience.

Risks and practical checks

METIS holders face market volatility and changing ecosystem incentives. Sequencer participation can involve substantial lock-up requirements and a waiting period before exit, while reward caps affect how much locked stake qualifies. Users should confirm chain ID, token contract and bridge route, and distinguish an announced program budget from the rewards actually available to a particular participant.

Metis (METIS) FAQ

What is Metis (METIS)?

Metis is an Ethereum Layer 2 network focused on scalable, lower-cost decentralized applications. Its Andromeda documentation describes optimistic rollups, EVM compatibility and decentralized sequencing. METIS is the ecosystem token, but network infrastructure, staking programs and market trading are separate aspects that should be checked in their current documentation.

What is METIS used for?

METIS is associated with the Metis ecosystem, including network participation and programs for builders and sequencers. Official docs describe incentive allocations for trading volume, verifier rewards, staking and grants. The availability and conditions of each program can change, so token ownership should not be interpreted as an automatic right to receive rewards.

What is Metis Andromeda?

Andromeda is Metis's Ethereum Layer 2 network. It is EVM-compatible and has its own chain ID, RPC endpoints and bridge configuration. Developers can use familiar Ethereum tools, but they still need to confirm the correct network and deployed contracts because Ethereum mainnet addresses and liquidity routes may not match the Layer 2 environment.

How does decentralized sequencing work on Metis?

Metis documentation describes a sequencer pool intended to distribute transaction ordering and block production. The current guide includes a minimum METIS lock-up, a cap used for reward calculations and a 21-day exit period. These are operational rules for the documented program, so participants should review the latest guide before committing tokens.

Does METIS have staking rewards?

Metis documentation describes staking and sequencer-related incentives, alongside builder and verifier programs. Eligibility, lock-up requirements, reward caps and exit rules depend on the specific program. Rewards are not guaranteed and can change with network policy, so check the current official interface and terms rather than assuming a fixed annual return.

What is Builder Mining Rewards?

The official Metis docs describe Builder Mining Rewards as a monthly program with allocations for trading-volume-based rewards and special initiatives such as verifier rewards, staking and grants. These are program budgets, not a promise that every project or holder receives a share. Check current criteria and available funding before planning around incentives.

Is Metis compatible with Ethereum smart contracts?

Metis documentation describes Andromeda as EVM-compatible, allowing developers to use familiar Ethereum tooling. However, each network has its own chain ID, RPC endpoint, bridge and asset deployments. Developers should test their contracts and verify security assumptions rather than assuming deployment behavior is identical to Ethereum mainnet.

What is METIS's all-time high?

METIS reached its recorded market all-time high at $323.54 on Jan 16, 2022. The displayed record may differ from a chart-window maximum depending on the selected dates and market coverage. Consult the Price Statistics panel when market data is available, and do not treat the peak as a price target.

How has METIS performed historically?

In FMchart's composite price history (since March 2024), METIS recorded its strongest month as November 2024 (+54.1%) and its weakest as April 2024 (-42.7%); positive calendar years are 0 of 1 full calendar year. Network incentives and sequencer programs do not ensure token-price gains, and past monthly or annual results should not be used as a standalone forecast.

What risks should METIS users consider?

Risks include token volatility, smart-contract and bridge exposure, sequencer lock-up conditions and changing incentive budgets. The documented sequencer program includes a 21-day exit period, while reward calculations may be capped. Verify the current program rules and network details before locking tokens or moving assets between chains.
