An L2 scaling solution takes advantage of the security of an L1 chain, like Ethereum, and alleviates traffic on it by “rolling up” a number of transactions into a single package to be settled at once.

One of such platform is METIS, Metis is a layer 2 blockchain decentralized economy, built on ethereum to start, run, and grow any decentralized app, business, and community on the blockchain with ease and scalability.

Listed below are problems many popular optimistic rollup layer 2 solutions face:

1. The standard layer 2 design is mostly really centralized. Quite a lot of these constructs duplicate a centralized structure from a single sequencer, which depends heavily on the verification mechanism to deter malicious players from fraudulent behaviors. This design leads to the second problem.

2. It usually takes a long time to finalize a transaction. Especially when there is a need to withdraw from the layer 2 construct to layer 1. The time to finalize the transaction can take many days.

3. This, in turn, will cause a bottleneck on layer 2 again. Because of the way many layer 2 solutions are constructed, the throughput on Layer 2 will eventually be limited by the centralized stack’s power. If the goal is to bring DApps to the mainstream, we must allow the layer 2 solution to scale.

To solve those issues and meet the rising demand for DAC operations, Metis designed and implemented a new layer 2 solution with an EVM-compatible virtual machine called the Metis Virtual Machine or MVM.

Metis aims to create an easy-to-use technical and organizational platform, making blockchain accessible to everyone, empowering both personal and professional lives.
