Odaily News The Metis AI high-performance chain Hyperion testnet was officially launched at midnight Beijing time last night. Hyperion is a high-performance, AI-optimized Layer 2 solution designed for AI, DePIN, DeFi and GameFi. It expands the Metis ecosystem through parallel execution, decentralized sorting and AI-native infrastructure, while maintaining Ethereum security and using METIS as the Gas token. Hyperion is developed based on the Metis SDK, and redefines the scalability of Layer 2 through MetisVM, MetisDB, combined with Optimism Rollup technology and parallel transaction execution. The Metis SDK integrates the Alith Agent framework developed by LazAI to simplify on-chain verification and off-chain computing tasks, making Hyperion the first Layer 2 protocol to support large language model (LLM) native on-chain execution.
