What is Metal Blockchain?
Chains and applications
Metal Blockchain provides infrastructure for financial applications and dedicated blockchain deployments. Developers can create subnets with their own execution environments. Its Contract Chain supports Ethereum-compatible smart contracts written in Solidity. The Platform Chain coordinates validators and subnet creation. The Exchange Chain supports issuing and transferring programmable assets. Its documented architecture also includes an Antelope-based application chain.
Staking and security
The primary network uses Proof of Stake together with the Snow consensus protocols. Primary-network validators must stake at least 2,000 METAL. Subnet validators also participate in the primary network. Token holders can delegate METAL to validators rather than operating a node themselves. Staking rewards depend on protocol rules and the selected staking duration.
Supply and fees
METAL has a hard-capped supply of 666,666,666 coins. A reward reserve supplies new issuance as staking rewards over time. Transactions pay network fees in METAL. These fees are burned instead of paid out as a separate validator fee income. Burning removes existing units while staking issuance releases coins from the capped reward allocation.
