Empowering Builders on Metis' ETH Layer 2 rollup platform with Nirvana's Purpose-Built Web3 Cloud Infrastructure
We are excited to announce that Nirvana Labs now supports Metis. This partnership represents our ongoing commitment to providing blockchain developers across a growing number of ecosystems with high-performance, reliable infrastructure tailored to the specific needs of Web3 projects.
By supporting Metis, Nirvana Labs offers developers in that ecosystem access to our purpose-built Web3 cloud infrastructure and managed RPC node services that are optimized to provide high-throughput, low-latency performance while trimming costs by reducing reliance on traditional cloud providers.
To get started building on Metis today, learn how to use Nirvana’s managed RPC service and spin up a free RPC node here: Nirvana Node Set Up Guide.
About Metis
Metis is an Ethereum Layer 2 Rollup platform that offers simple and fast smart contract deployment within the network. Metis L2 provides solutions to solve some of the big challenges present on the Ethereum network, including transaction speed, cost, and scalability.
Moreover, Metis is the first Layer 2 that has achieved sequencer decentralization, eliminating single points of failure and properly aligning incentives between all network participants.
Metis blockchain offers several key features
● Scalability: Uses Layer 2 rollups to improve transaction speed and reduce costs.
● Decentralized Sequencer: Increases security and reliability by decentralizing transaction processing.
● Compatibility: Supports Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), making it easy for developers to migrate existing Ethereum dApps.
● Enhanced Security: Built with multiple security layers, including fraud proofs.
● Economical and Eco-friendly: Optimizes costs and energy use with efficient rollup technology.
● For more detailed information, you can check out Metis Developer Documentation.
Metis ecosystem has a range of use cases, including
● DeFi: Enabling faster, cheaper transactions for decentralized finance protocols and applications.
● LSTs: Supporting liquid staking token protocols with sustainable sequencer rewards.
● Memecoins: Providing an incentivized ecosystem for memecoins to take advantage of greater utilities, promoting rewarding cultures.
● Gaming: Powering blockchain-based games that require high-speed transactions and low fees.
These applications benefit from Metis’s scalability, EVM compatibility, and efficient Layer 2 rollup technology.
Benefits of Using Nirvana Labs for Building on Metis
Nirvana Labs is the world’s first full-stack cloud platform crafted by crypto natives and cloud experts to handle the unique demands of blockchain applications.
Nirvana’s offerings include Nirvana Cloud, the world’s first bare metal cloud purpose-built for web3 companies, which is the backbone for its highly reliable load-balanced RPC nodes and enterprise-grade dedicated nodes.
Building on the Metis network with Nirvana Labs offers web3 builders several benefits over existing options.
● Optimized Performance: Our infrastructure is optimized for efficient data processing and web3 workloads, ensuring our nodes provide higher throughput and lower latency than competitors’.
● Cost Efficiency: Because Nirvana Cloud is purpose-built to handle web3-specific applications, we reduce the need to overpay for traditional cloud services and help developers lower their operational costs.
● Reliability: Our globally distributed network of hubs and capabilities, such as offering flex nodes that route every API request to the nearest data center location that can provide the lowest latency response, provide developers with reliable and resilient service.
By combining bare metal infrastructure with a web3-centric operating system across more than a dozen data centers globally, Nirvana devours the intensive, dynamic workloads of blockchains while reducing cloud bills by as much as 80% compared to traditional providers.
How to Deploy your First Node on Metis Network
1. Visit Nirvana Labs' website and click on the "Sign Up" button to enter your details and create a free account. Confirm your account by responding to the email you’ll receive.
2. After logging into your new account, click on “Dashboard” to access your account dashboard. This will take you to an overview page of the RPC nodes you’re running and you can access.
3. Next, click on Create Node to initiate the process of setting up your RPC node. You will then be taken to a page with the supported blockchains by Nirvana Labs.
4. Select the Metis and specify whether you’re running an RPC node on the mainnet. We recommend giving your node a unique and identifiable name for easier navigation.
5. Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a free RPC node on Metis using the Nirvana Labs platform.
Supporting Metis is a significant step in our mission to provide high-quality, tailored infrastructure for blockchain developers. We look forward to seeing the innovative projects that will be built on Metis using Nirvana Cloud, and encourage you to share what you’re working on with us and other builders on X.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to expand and enhance our offerings.
