**[Metis Releases 2026 Strategy, Focusing on AI and High-Performance Blockchain Integration]** Metis decentralized coordinator Natalia Ameline released a community letter today, outlining the strategic direction for 2026, with a focus on advancing deep integration between AI and high-performance blockchain. Metis has built a unified stack, including the settlement layer Andromeda, the high-performance layer Hyperion, and the application data layer LazAI. Andromeda's transaction fees are approximately $0.01, with confirmation times of less than two seconds, while Hyperion enhances transaction processing capacity by over 50%. The METIS token becomes the native gas token for LazAI, supporting a single-token economy. On the application side, CreateAI minted 20,000 works within three hours, the Lazbubu whitelist event attracted over 90,000 participants, and the payment product GMPayer enables autonomous transactions through AI agents.
