Metis is a cost-efficient Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum that offers up to 100x lower transaction fees. It achieves true decentralization by storing all transaction data on the Ethereum mainnet and utilizing an innovative Sequencer Pool.
Unlike many Layer 2 chains that sacrifice decentralization for low fees, Metis balances cost efficiency with robust decentralization. Although fees have risen to support enhanced security, continuous innovations—especially in its decentralized sequencer—promise further cost reductions and improved network resilience.
Toaster Finance is a Mobile-first DeFi portfolio management platform designed to simplify how you track, analyze, and act on your on-chain investments. In a landscape where most users juggle assets across multiple protocols—Aave, Uniswap, Lido, and more—Toaster consolidates all your positions into one real-time dashboard. Instead of hopping between disconnected protocol interfaces, you get a clear view of your overall performance, including detailed profit and loss (P&L) metrics.
As the first decentralized rollup platform, Metis has established a fully decentralized sequencer pool. Central to this innovation are two key protocols: Artemis Finance and ENKI Protocol.
Artemis Finance is a liquid staking protocol built specifically for Metis' Decentralized Sequencer. By staking METIS on Artemis, users can earn passive income while contributing to network security.
When you stake METIS on Artemis, you receive:
✅ 18% Sequencer APR – Earn staking rewards from Metis’ Decentralized Sequencer✅ Airdrop Points – Accumulate points for the upcoming Artemis protocol token
This dual-reward system makes Artemis a compelling choice for maximizing staking returns.
Note: Artemis APR is estimated based on a 10% airdrop allocation at a $50M fully diluted valuation.APR = 18% Sequencer APR + 10% × $50M / current TVL
ENKI Protocol is a Metis-native liquid staking platform designed with a dual-token model, allowing users to stake METIS while maintaining liquidity for DeFi activities.
ENKI offers two staking options:
✅ Mint Only – Stake METIS to receive eMETIS, which can be used in Metis-based DeFi applications. However, Mint Only users do not receive Sequencer APR, meaning they miss out on the key benefits of Metis' Decentralized Sequencer Pool.
✅ Mint & Stake – Stake METIS to receive eMETIS, then stake eMETIS again to receive seMETIS, which qualifies for Sequencer APR. This option allows users to maximize staking rewards.
Note: Sequencer staking rewards are shared only among seMETIS stakers. If you choose Mint Only, your METIS is still used for Sequencer staking, but the rewards are distributed exclusively to Mint & Stake users.
With Toaster Finance, users can access historical insights and real-time analytics for key Metis ecosystem protocols like Artemis and ENKI, enabling a deeper understanding of their performance over time. Toaster allows you to:
Track APR Trends Over Time: Monitor how staking yields on Artemis and ENKI fluctuate and compare them historically.
Analyze TVL Growth: See how liquidity in Artemis and ENKI (and other protocols) evolves over time to identify trends and opportunities.

Metis supports a range of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) catering to different trading needs. Below is an overview of three key DEX platforms:
Hercules ( Website )
Built on Algebra DEX, Hercules offers deep liquidity and efficient swaps with minimal slippage. It ranks #1 in the Metis DEX rankings with a TVL of $3.58M and a cumulative volume of $729.83M. Its top liquidity pool is METIS+m.USDC with a TVL of $987K and APR of 52.71%.
Netswap ( Website )
As a Uniswap V2-based DEX, Netswap provides a streamlined and user-friendly trading experience. It ranks #2 in the Metis DEX rankings, holding a TVL of $3.27M and a total trading volume of $3.116B. Its top liquidity pool is METIS+m.USDT with a TVL of $517K and APR of 22.98%.
Wagmi ( Website )
Leveraging Uniswap V3, Wagmi offers optimized liquidity pools for advanced trading strategies. It ranks #3 in the Metis DEX rankings, it has a TVL of $1.64M and $381M in cumulative volume. Its top liquidity pool is WMETIS-WAGMI with a TVL of $1,326K and APR of 2.71%.
With Toaster Finance, you can use Metis DEXs (Hercules, Netswap, and Wagmi) in the most convenient, easy, and cost-effective manner.
Toaster Finance acts as a DEX aggregator, finding the most efficient swap route across multiple DEXs within the Metis ecosystem. Instead of manually comparing platforms, Toaster Finance automates the process, ensuring better pricing and reduced slippage.
Managing token ratios for DEX liquidity pools can be tricky. Determining the right token proportions isn’t always a simple 50:50 split—a common headache for many LP providers. Toaster Finance automates rebalancing, converting tokens into the most efficient ratio for LP provisioning—eliminating leftover tokens and maximizing efficiency.
After exploring the thriving Metis DeFi ecosystem, enjoy seamless integration of these protocols on a single dashboard with Toaster—no more juggling multiple interfaces. Once you’ve participated through Toaster, mint a Toaster NFT to commemorate your experience.
