Metis Launches Rise Monthly Developer Incentive Program to Reward Teams Deploying AI Agents on the Andromeda Mainnet

Foresight News reports that Ethereum L2 network Metis has launched the Metis Rise monthly developer incentive program to reward teams deploying new AI Agents on the Metis Andromeda mainnet, acquiring real users, and generating genuine on-chain economic activities. The program focuses on the 'economic usability' of AI Agents, addressing four key needs: payments (x402), identity (ERC-8004), stablecoin escrow (Escrow), and independently verifiable on-chain signature receipts. The program supports any AI Agent framework and hosting method, including ClawUp, GOAT AgentKit, or self-built backends, and is compatible with the dual-chain architecture based on GOAT Network. Developers must meet the following monthly criteria: at least 15 active monthly users, with each counted user completing at least 3 qualifying transactions or settling amounts of no less than $2 (m.USDC, m.USDT, or METIS) on Metis Andromeda; primary user transactions, settlement volume, and gas consumption must occur on the Metis Andromeda mainnet. Meanwhile, Metis is building an execution and data layer for AI Agents, with Andromeda's decentralized sequencer (DSeq) eliminating single points of failure caused by trustless dependencies between Agents. Metis Rise is hosted by Metis, with ClawUp, GOAT Network, and LazAI as ecosystem partners.
