An EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain, Meter delivers fast finality and low-cost transactions using MTR gas and its integrated Meter Passport cross-chain bridge.
Meter is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 mainnet with fast BFT PoS finality and MTR as the native gas currency, designed for high-throughput, low-cost transactions. It supports DeFi, gaming, payments/micropayments, and cross-chain liquidity via the Meter Passport bridge. Performance (Sept 2025): ~2s block time, sub-cent average gas, and 1k+ TPS capacity; check the explorer for live activity.
Meter uniquely separates economics from consensus: MTR (the gas currency) is issued via a PoW-based mechanism while network security and finality come from staked validators (MTRG) under a HotStuff-style BFT, enabling predictable fees and fast finality. Compared with typical EVM L1s, it targets ~2s blocks, <$0.01 average gas, and >1,000 TPS (vs. Ethereum L1’s ~12s blocks and higher, variable fees). Its native Passport bridge and Ethereum-equivalent tooling make it easy to move liquidity across chains and onboard developers with familiar workflows.
Meter uses MTR as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain MTR by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge MTR to Meter, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Meter as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
