Meter is a DeFi infrastructure with a built-in, crypto-native, metastable currency.  It functions as a highly-decentralized, high-performance EVM compatible side chain for Ethereum and other public chains.

The Meter system uses Proof of Work to create a fully-decentralized, low-volatility coin MTR for fees and payments, and HotStuff-based Proof of Stake with the MTRG governance coin to validate transactions.

This hybrid consensus mechanism makes Meter fast - the system can process thousands of transactions per second, reaching finality almost instantly - and super secure.

DeFi app developers can also use our highly-decentralized, HotStuff-consensus PoS chain as an EVM-compatible side chain to increase the speed and scalability of decentralized exchanges, derivative trading platforms, yield farming programs, and other DeFi apps.
