Metal DAO is a blockchain-based decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, with its core business centered around Metal L2, a Layer 2 scaling solution. Its business model includes: Layer 2 Infrastructure: Metal L2 uses Optimistic Rollups technology to provide high throughput and low-cost transaction processing capabilities for Ethereum, supporting scenarios such as DeFi applications and NFTs. Stablecoin Issuance: Launching the reserve-based stablecoin Metal Dollar (XMD), backed by various non-algorithmic stablecoins (such as USDC, USDT) as collateral, aimed at providing price stability and compliance. Payment and Financial Services: Seamless exchange of fiat and cryptocurrency through the Metal Pay app, supporting merchants in accepting cryptocurrency payments, and integrating traditional payment networks such as Mastercard. Decentralized trading platform: Operates Metal X, providing gas-free on-chain trading, lending, and liquidity mining services, supporting cross-chain asset exchange.

The cryptocurrency-related profit models of Metal DAO mainly include: Transaction fees: Users conducting transactions (such as transfers, DeFi operations) on the Metal L2 network are required to pay fees, partially settled in the native token MTL. Users holding MTL can enjoy discounts on transaction fees. Stablecoin minting revenue: When issuing Metal Dollar (XMD), revenue is generated through collateral management and minting fees. The increase in the circulation of XMD directly contributes to ecological income. Governance and Staking Rewards: MTL token holders can participate in ecological governance voting and earn platform profit dividends by staking MTL, incentivizing long-term holding and community participation. Partner revenue sharing: Collaborate with banks and payment institutions (such as Jack Henry, Temenos) to collect technical service fees through API integration and compliance services.

The role and significance of the profit model Enhancing ecological sustainability: Transaction fees and stablecoin earnings provide continuous funding for ecological development, supporting technological iteration and market promotion. Incentivizing user participation: The fee discount and staking reward mechanism attract users to hold MTL, promoting token circulation and price stability. Compliance and Integration with Traditional Finance: By collaborating with traditional financial institutions, Metal DAO will incorporate cryptocurrencies into the mainstream payment system, enhancing industry recognition. Cross-chain interoperability: The integration of Metal L2 with the Optimism superchain allows users to transfer assets between different blockchains at low cost, expanding the user base and transaction scale.

The business of Metal DAO mainly affects the following cryptocurrencies: MTL (Metal DAO Token): As the core token for ecological governance and fee payment, its demand is directly driven by trading volume, staking activities, and governance participation. The burning mechanism of MTL (such as transaction fee burning) may have a long-term impact on its scarcity. XMD (Metal Dollar): The circulation growth of stablecoins depends on market acceptance, and changes in the reserve amounts of its collateral (such as USDC and USDT) will affect the stability of XMD. ETH (Ethereum): Metal L2, as an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, successfully alleviates the transaction pressure on the Ethereum mainnet, indirectly enhancing the network value and security of ETH.
