According to news on April 23, Metis announced on its official blog that it has launched the second phase of the decentralized sorter upgrade, introducing multiple transactions, transaction pools, sorter mining and other functions to improve network throughput. In addition, through protocols such as Artemis and Enki, users can stake METIS tokens on Artemis Finance and receive liquid staking tokens called artMETIS. Users can also stake METIS and receive seMETIS through Enki, but the protocol utilizes ENKI for governance. Enki will be deployed on mainnet soon, but users can already interact with Enki’s pre-staking program.
