Metis has made history — we’re now the first blockchain to sponsor a South Korean professional baseball team.
We’ve partnered with Kiwoom Heroes, one of Korea’s top-tier baseball teams, to bring Web3 and AI adoption directly into the heart of Korean pop culture — the baseball field
This isn’t just about visibility. It’s about tapping into a vibrant, tech-forward audience, and positioning Metis as the blockchain that shows up where the culture lives.
