Metis Starts Community Selection for Sequencer Node Operators

June 24: Metis, an Ethereum layer-2 network, planned to announce the opening of a community selection process for its first batch of external sequencer node operators, “becoming the first L2 to enable shared ownership and control of a critical piece of infrastructure,” according to the team: “By operating these nodes, entities become network owners. As owners, entities gain substantial influence and governance rights over the network’s strategic direction, and a share in the revenue involving sequencing rewards and fees. Distributed ownership creates robust decentralization, bringing stronger reliability to Metis and enhancing liveness and economic security.” The voting process will be live from Monday through June 28.
