Beyond “Just an L2”: What Does Metis’ Next Chapter Mean for Builders and AI Innovators?

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deep into how Metis is reshaping what it means to be a Layer 2 — and it’s honestly changed how I think about where AI and blockchain can intersect.

What really stood out to me: instead of focusing purely on scaling, Metis is connecting:
:satellite: Andromeda (settlement & reliability),
:high_voltage: Hyperion (AI-optimized infrastructure), and
:brain: LazAI (playable, data-driven application layer).

The article below goes into detail on how these layers work together — especially how projects like Lazbubu and the upcoming LazPad are showing early signs of what “AI-native economies” could look like.

To me, this feels like the moment when AI agents, data, and blockchain stop being separate ideas — and start forming a shared playground.

But I’m curious to hear your thoughts:

  • What’s one thing you’d want to see from AI x blockchain projects in 2025?

  • For builders: what would make it easier for you to experiment on something like LazAI or Hyperion?

  • And philosophically — when do you think AI agents will become participants in our ecosystems, not just tools?
