Metis has reached an important milestone. Andromeda is now officially listed as a Stage 0 Optimistic Rollup on L2BEAT.
This marks the start of Metis being tracked publicly on the most trusted transparency platform for Ethereum scaling. For years, Metis has been working toward decentralization — now that progress is measurable and visible to everyone.
What does Stage 0 mean?
Stage 0 is the first level in L2BEAT’s rollup maturity framework. At this stage:
The rollup is live and actively processing transactions
It inherits some security from Ethereum but still relies on operators (sequencers)
It sets the foundation for upgrades toward achieving stage 1, where security and decentralization guarantees become stronger.
Why is this milestone important?
Decentralized Sequencers: Andromeda was the first L2 to release a novel decentralized sequencers infrastructure
Visibility: The Ethereum community can now follow Metis’ progress alongside other L2s, benchmarked on the same framework
Accountability: Future upgrades will be visible, keeping Metis aligned with the highest standards of transparency
From building quietly to building publicly
Metis has been heads-down developing decentralized sequencing and infrastructure. With L2BEAT tracking, the community can now watch progress unfold step by step. This is the beginning of a more open, verifiable journey where Metis proves its decentralization in practice, not just in promise.
Great milestone for Metis — being on L2BEAT makes the decentralization journey transparent and measurable. Excited to see the step-by-step progress toward Stage 1 and beyond.
