Metis, an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, today announced the integration of OKX, a leading crypto exchange and global onchain company, as its newest decentralized sequencer node provider. The addition of OKX marks Metis’ fourth independent provider and tenth overall sequencer node, demonstrating growing institutional confidence in the network’s decentralized infrastructure.
Through its OKX Earn product, OKX has committed 20,000 METIS tokens to network security, bringing the total locked METIS to 493,125.92 tokens. This significant stake strengthens Metis’ economic security model while reducing circulating supply.
This collaboration showcases how major Web3 institutions can participate in Layer 2 network security while benefiting from Metis’ revenue-sharing model. As a leading crypto exchange, OKX’s participation as an independent sequencer validates Metis’ decentralized approach to network operations.
“The addition of OKX as a sequencer node operator is transformative for Metis. Their global reach, technical expertise, and significant commitment to our ecosystem signal strong institutional confidence in our decentralized future,” said Tom Ngo, Executive Lead of Metis.
Inside the First-Ever Ethereum Layer 2 Decentralized Sequencer
Since the launch of the Decentralized Sequencer, Metis users could lock their tokens and participate in transaction sequencing through decentralized sequencer nodes, to provide security to the network and earn token rewards. This has been an integral part of Metis’ ecosystem, leading to incentivized decentralization initiatives.
