An EVM-compatible blockchain focused on self-sovereign identity, enabling W3C-compliant DIDs and verifiable credentials with selective disclosure and low-cost, fast transactions.
Metadium is a public, EVM-compatible mainnet purpose-built for decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials, with META as the native gas token. Primary use cases include KYC/KYB credential issuance and verification, passwordless login/SSO, access control, and compliance-ready attestations for consumer, enterprise, and public-sector apps. Builders anchor identity states and proofs on-chain while keeping PII off-chain, enabling portable, privacy-preserving identity across Web2 and Web3.
Metadium is unique for its identity-first architecture: a native DID registry/resolver and verifiable-credential tooling at the protocol layer so issuers, holders, and verifiers can manage identities natively on-chain. Using an EVM-compatible, permissioned-validator BFT consensus, it offers very low fees (typically fractions of a cent), fast block times in the low-seconds range, and practical throughput in the tens to hundreds of TPS; overall activity is smaller than general-purpose L1s like Ethereum because it’s optimized for identity workloads over speculative volume. This combination delivers rapid finality, privacy-preserving attestations, and full compatibility with Ethereum tooling for seamless development and bridging.
Metadium uses META as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain META by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge META to Metadium, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Metadium as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Metadium you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Metadium to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send META on Metadium, ensure your wallet is connected to the Metadium network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of META to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
