Cryptory.net - Ethereum Layer 2 native token Metis (METIS) started to increase on Monday, shortly after the project announced the creation of the Ecosystem Development Fund.
Although no specific date for the mainnet launch has been announced, the Base team has stated that they have successfully met four out of five of their launch criteria.
A new layer-2 chain called opBNB has been introduced by the blockchain founded by Binance, although some argue that there are alternative ways to scale the network.
