About Metronome

Design Principles

Metronome builds off the lessons learned from previous cryptocurrencies and optimizes for self-governance, long-term reliability, and maximum portability. Built by leading figures in the space and supported by a diverse array of partners and advisors, Metronome is engineered to meet and exceed the high standards of the cryptocurrency community.

In developing an enduring cryptocurrency, Metronome is founded on three key design principles: SELF-GOVERNANCE with no undue influence from founders after initial launch and public access — contract governance starts at launch. RELIABILITY and predictability where issuance and supply are immutable. PORTABILITY to enable maximum decentralization, even across different blockchains.

Portability Across Chains

As the first cryptocurrency capable of being exported and imported across chains, Metronome will be initially issued on Ethereum with Ethereum Classic, Rootstock on Bitcoin, and Qtum support expected to follow. Such portability will allow users to select the chain that suits their requirements for management and security, or even upgrade the MET contract if needed.

Metronome's main goal is to be a built to last cryptocurrency, and portability furthers this goal by freeing Metronome from the fate of any one chain.

Autonomy and Community Support

Metronome will not be controlled by any party after launch—not even its authors—as it is completely autonomous. Metronome authors plan to continue to help by building an ongoing open-source community to support developers and users, but Metronome authors will have no access or control after the initial auction.

Metronome (MET) is a cryptocurrency built around the idea of cross-chain portability — the ability to move tokens between different blockchains without relying on a central authority. Its name hints at its steady, predictable emission schedule, like a metronome keeping time. The project was designed to be self-governed and autonomous from day one, with no company or foundation controlling it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Metronome and how is it different from other cryptocurrencies?

Metronome (ticker MET) is a cryptocurrency whose core feature is cross-chain portability: holders can transfer their MET between supported blockchains on their own, without intermediaries. Unlike most tokens tied to a single network, MET was designed to survive even if one chain fails. It also launched with a fully autonomous smart contract and no controlling company behind it.

How does Metronome's technology work?

MET is governed entirely by an autonomous smart contract at address 0xa3d58c4e56fedcae3a7c43a725aee9a71f0ece4e, which handles minting, auctions, and cross-chain transfers without human intervention. The contract follows a token standard that enables the portability mechanism, letting users export and import their coins across chains. No admin keys exist, so no one can alter the rules after launch.

How is Metronome's supply and emission structured?

Metronome has a hard cap of 14,377,915 coins, so no more MET can ever be created beyond that limit. New coins were initially distributed through daily descending-price auctions, where the price falls until buyers step in. After the cap is reached, the supply is fixed permanently.

How can you store and use MET?

Since MET is an ERC-20 style token, you can store it in any wallet that supports Ethereum-compatible tokens, such as hardware wallets or popular mobile and browser wallets. Official information and tools are available on the project's site at https://www.metronome.io/. Beyond holding, MET can be moved across chains using its built-in portability feature.
