$METIS Metis has just dropped some significant news.

Their v7 upgrade is not just another version enhancement - it will run completely independently. Considering its impact, this is actually very crazy.
We are talking about a router that has processed trillions of transactions and is now completely disconnected. No more dependency layers, no more inheritance restrictions.
Background: Most Layer 2 solutions still rely on shared infrastructure. Metis is basically saying, "We are now building our own highways."
This could reshape our thinking on scalable architecture. An independent execution environment means faster finality, customized optimization, and potentially lower costs.
The router technology they developed has undergone large-scale practical testing. Using it alone either requires genius-level confidence or they have solved problems that no one is talking about.
Regardless, it is worth paying attention to what will happen next. Infrastructure investments like this are not common.
