#### Setting up Metamask for Metis Andromeda Network <a href="#id-3b1c" id="id-3b1c"></a>

[Metis](https://www.metis.io/) is an Ethereum Layer 2 optimistic rollup platform originally forked from Optimism and launched on mainnet on 19 November 2021.

It is an easy-to-use, highly scalable, low-cost, and fully functional Layer 2 framework that supports a wide range of use cases, including yield farming, DEX trading, and powering the gig economy via dApps that offer cheap and fast micropayments.
