MetisDAO (METIS) is the native token of the Metis Layer 2 ecosystem, used for gas fees, governance, and staking within that network. Users commonly swap into or out of METIS when moving value between the Metis Layer 2 environment and the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Because METIS operates on Ethereum for exchange purposes, it fits naturally into Ethereum-based trading workflows.
When swapping METIS, confirm your destination address is a valid Ethereum address, as METIS is listed on the Ethereum network. No memo or destination tag is required when sending METIS. Ethereum network congestion can influence how quickly a transaction is confirmed, so settlement time may vary depending on network conditions at the time of the swap. The Zest widget displays the estimated rate and all relevant details before you confirm, so you can review the exchange before committing.
