Overview
Metronome was designed in 2017 by Bloq, a U.S. blockchain technology company, with the sole purpose of providing a long-term monetary system.[2][3]
Metronome was founded by Jeff Garzik and Matthew Roszak. The platform supports portability to enable maximum decentralization, even across different blockchains. The first chainhop took place in summer 2019, between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. Portability empowers MET owners to choose the chain where they hold their MET for whatever reason they desire, such as security, fee optimization, and governance arbitrage.
Metronome aims to create a protocol that can transfer cryptocurrency across different blockchains. Initially, the Metronome token (MET) was issued as an ERC-20 on Ethereum. Currently, MET can be ported between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.[4][5]
Additionally, Metronome offers advanced payment features such as the ability to send MET to multiple addresses in a single transaction to save on transaction fees and the ability to authorize a set amount of MET to move between two addresses on a recurring basis.[6]
