To Metis community members:

Web3 is at a critical turning point. Past achievements cannot guarantee future success. The sluggish performance of Ethereum, the end of the Web3 social experiment, and the change in user behavior all warn us: if you don’t want to make progress, you will definitely be eliminated by the times.

But Metis never stopped. We have always been the promoters of change, committed to saving the future of the Ethereum ecosystem, the entire Web3, and even the AI ​​era of mankind.

The ReGenesis project we launched is not a simple upgrade, but a new evolution of the blockchain ecosystem.

Part 1: The origin of the ReGenesis plan

1. The Ethereum downturn and the end of Web3 social experiments

In this cycle, Ethereum performed weakly, affecting the entire Ethereum ecosystem, especially the Layer2 solution. The fundamental reason is that the Web3 social experiment has ended, but Ethereum has failed to adapt to the new market environment in time. Specific manifestations are:

DeFi innovation bottleneck:
• DeFi has completed basic theoretical verification, lacks breakthrough innovation, and has slowed down.
User behavior change:
• Users are more concerned with short-term profit maximization, capital utilization rate and opportunity cost, rather than decentralized ideals.
Ethereum should have adjusted its strategy, focused on the implementation of ecological applications and created actual value, but it still prioritized technological innovation and decentralization, ignoring the market's demand for efficient, low-cost and high-yield ecology.

2. Ethereum vs. Solana & Base: Different strategies, different results

The winners of this cycle are Solana and Base, not Ethereum. They adopted a very different strategy:

Solana sacrifices decentralization in exchange for extreme performance and low cost.
• Low Gas fees and high-speed transactions make it the center of NFT, DeFi and Meme culture.
Base Rely on Coinbase ecological traffic diversion to create a low-threshold and high-activity on-chain experience.
• Users pay more attention to the money-making effect and interesting experiences.
Ethereum is making slow progress in these aspects. Although it is still decentralized and secure, users are more concerned about transaction costs, interactive experiences and application scenarios.

3. Why did Metis stand up as Layer2?

Metis is not the traditional "Ethereum Layer2". We have always been

changers

:

1. The first Layer2 to propose "DAO as the core of governance". We believe that DAO is the future direction of blockchain governance.
2. The first Layer2 to use off-chain DA (data availability). Off-chain DA has now become the mainstream trend of Layer2.
3. Always pursue cutting-edge technological breakthroughs. Lay out ZK early and promote the development of projects such as ZKM and GOAT.
4. The only Layer2 that launches the decentralized sorter. Ensure the continuation of the spirit of blockchain.

Therefore, we will not be silent and will once again play the role of a changer, promote the ReGenesis plan, and bring new directions to the Ethereum ecosystem and the entire industry.

4. ReGenesis: A "rebirth"

The core goal of the ReGenesis plan is to solve the core contradictions in the blockchain ecosystem:

• Ethereum needs to maintain technological leadership and decentralization.
• Ecosystem needs innovation and growth to attract more users and capital.

To this end, ReGenesis plans to advance along two main lines:

1. Research on cutting-edge technology: Introduce high-performance architectures to support more real-time and higher-frequency applications and development scenarios; bet on the AI ​​track and incubate LazAI to solve the problem of alignment between AI and human values.
2. Build more interesting ecological applications: As a new growth point of blockchain, Metis will provide infrastructure to support the implementation of AI applications in the Web3 ecosystem.

We don’t want to be led by the market, and hope to use the ReGenesis plan to break the status quo and find new growth points for the Ethereum ecosystem. Metis will continue to be the pioneer in driving change.

Part 2: Detailed explanation of ReGenesis plan

1. ReGenesis's core vision

ReGenesis plan is not a simple technological upgrade, but a rebirth plan for the Web3 ecosystem to enter the AI ​​era. We not only need to save the Ethereum ecosystem, but also enable Web3 to have the ability to survive in the AI ​​era and create a new economic model of AI Web3.

We are at the intersection of technological change:

• Traditional AI is developing rapidly, but it is controlled by centralized technology giants.
• Web3's AI development lags behind, and most of the existing AI Web3 solutions are just API calls.
• If Web3 cannot take the initiative to welcome the AI ​​era, it will be eliminated.

ReGenesis plan is to completely integrate AI and Web3 and establish a smart economy driven by decentralized data governance, AI assetization, and AI-driven. Metis will define the rules of the AI ​​Web3 era.

2. Core content of ReGenesis

• Reshape the underlying architecture of Web3: Andromeda Network Upgrade A new high-performance architecture makes Metis the optimal infrastructure for AI computing and data interaction; a parallel collaboration mechanism realizes efficient interaction between AI computing and Web3 transactions.
• LazAI: AI Data Governance and AI Assetization: LazAI proposes a new AI data governance and assetization framework, iDAO (individual autonomous organization) DAT (data anchored token), Verified Computing, Point of View data, allowing AI to truly "survive" in Web3.
• AI Web3 application implementation: Alith: AI Agent framework; AI-Native application incubation.

ReGenesis does not allow AI to "adapt" to blockchain, but allows AI to truly have an independent survival model in the Web3 ecosystem.

3. The uniqueness of ReGenesis

ReGenesis is the only blockchain plan that truly builds an AI asset system. Its uniqueness lies in:

• It is not just performance optimization of L2, but rather it gives L2 AI-native computing power.
• It not only supports AI, but also allows AI to form a complete living environment in Web3.
• LazAI decentralizes AI training data and ensures that AI aligns with the value system of human society.
• DAT makes AI assetized and makes the AI ​​economy a part of the Web3 ecosystem.
• Verified Computing makes the value of AI assets measurable, verifiable and circulating.
• Decentralized Sorter Double-chain architecture ensures that Web3 remains decentralized.

4. How does ReGenesis promote ecological development?

ReGenesis plans to form a complete AI Web3 flywheel: Andromeda New Chain Architecture → LazAI → DAT → Verified Computing → Increased user and developer participation → Self-growth cycle.

Part 3: Participation in ReGenesis

1. Developer: Join the AI ​​Web3 technology revolution, build high-performance AI Web3 applications, use LazAI's decentralized data, and build AI agents based on the Alith framework.

2. Investors & Ecological Builders: Layout the Web3 economy in the AI ​​era, AI assetization (DAT), AI training data market, and Verified Computing system.

3. Ordinary users: Participate in the AI ​​economy, obtain early returns, contribute Point of View data, use on-chain AI agents, and obtain early incentives.

4. Metis Community: Promote the dissemination of ReGenesis program, become an early contributor, and witness the birth of the AI ​​Web3 era.

ReGenesis is not the plan of the Metis team, but a revolution promoted by all Metisians.
