Metis mainnet RPC access live on GetBlock

GetBlock adds Metis Mainnet RPC support, providing developers with reliable RPC access to its EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain.

GetBlock’s Shared Node service provides a fully managed, Metis Andromeda JSON-RPC endpoints that support the standard EVM JSON-RPC surface. Shared plans include archive endpoints so teams can query historical state and run analytics without needing a dedicated archive deployment. 

Additionally, GetBlock provides private full and archive nodes deployable to any of the supported locations: Frankfurt, Singapore, or New York. Dedicated nodes are fully customizable and are ideal for latency-sensitive apps, indexers, or teams with strict SLAs.

Metis RPC node access is available starting from the Free plan so developers can experiment and test immediately.

What is Metis Andromeda?

Andromeda is Metis’ EVM-compatible Layer‑2 mainnet, an EVM-equivalent optimistic rollup with decentralized sequencer design. The network, chain ID 1088, uses METIS as its native gas token and provides transaction fees around $0.01 with confirmation times under 2 seconds. 

The platform offers developers a fully EVM-compatible environment through the Metis Virtual Machine (MVM), enabling seamless migration of existing Ethereum smart contracts and dApps, while delivering faster, lower-cost transactions. This makes Metis a practical option for DeFi, gaming, and DAO/DAC use cases that need cheaper transactions.

As of 2026, Metis has evolved into a comprehensive multi-network infrastructure with a strategic focus on AI-blockchain integration. The platform now operates a dual-network strategy featuring Andromeda as the settlement layer and Hyperion as a high-performance AI-focused execution layer with parallel transaction processing capabilities. The Metis SDK provides native tools for building AI-native applications and high-performance dApps, making the network particularly attractive for developers working on compute-intensive applications, DeFi protocols, and AI-integrated use cases.
