The Metis high-performance chain Hyperion testnet is officially launched to promote the development of on-chain LLM execution

the Metis AI high-performance chain Hyperion testnet officially launched last night at midnight China time. Hyperion is a high-performance, AI-optimized Layer 2 solution designed specifically for AI, DePIN, DeFi, and GameFi. It expands the Metis ecosystem through parallel execution, decentralized ordering, and AI-native infrastructure, while maintaining Ethereum's security and using METIS as the gas token.

Hyperion is developed based on the Metis SDK, redefining Layer 2 scalability through MetisVM, MetisDB, and the integration of Optimism Rollup technology with parallel transaction execution. The Metis SDK integrates the Alith Agent framework developed by LazAI, simplifying on-chain verification and off-chain computation tasks, making Hyperion the first Layer 2 protocol to support native on-chain execution of large language models (LLM).
