Metis High-Performance Chain Hyperion Testnet is officially live to advance on-chain L2 scaling development

BlockBeats News, May 7th, Metis AI's high-performance chain Hyperion testnet was officially launched last night Beijing time. Hyperion is a high-performance, AI-optimized Layer 2 solution designed for AI, DePIN, DeFi, and GameFi. It expands the Metis ecosystem through parallel execution, decentralized ordering, and AI-native infrastructure while maintaining Ethereum security and using METIS as the Gas token.

Hyperion is developed based on the Metis SDK and redefines Layer 2 scalability through MetisVM, MetisDB, Optimism Rollup technology, parallel transaction execution, and other features. The Metis SDK integrates the Alith Agent framework developed by LazAI to simplify on-chain validation and off-chain computational tasks, making Hyperion the first Layer 2 protocol to natively support Large Language Models (LLM) for on-chain execution.
