Metis plans to become Ethereum's first decentralized L2 this year, allowing its community to take control of critical centralized components of the network.Metis co-founder Elena Sinelnikova said that by authorizing community control of the decentralized sequencer pool, Metis aims to demonstrate the advantages of maintaining L2 scalability while reducing centralization risks.

In addition, it also involves publishing complete transaction data to Ethereum and converting Metis Layer 2 back to classic Optimistic Rollup.Furthermore, Sinelnikova attributes the rapid growth of Layer 2 in 2023 to the emergence of new networks such as Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, Linea, and zkSync.
