It also makes it easy to use pre-set tools/templates/APIs to facilitate their development, manage collaboration, and enjoy the network effects of the world’s largest decentralized finance eco, without the costs and bottlenecks normally associated with Ethereum. Its scalable protocol supports a wide range of use cases, including NFT platforms, decentralized reddit-like social platforms, open-source developer communities, influencer communities, gamer communities, freelancer communities, crowdfunding, yield farming, DEX trading,etc. (The information below is provided by the METIS team.
