Metis

Metis is counting down the October 23, 2026 cutoff, warning that Stargate support for Metis Andromeda ends in three days. LPs in Stargate pools on Metis must unstake if staked, then withdraw via the Stargate app (selecting Metis Andromeda), and holders of V1-bridged METIS, HERA, QI, MTVT must bridge them back to Andromeda before support ends. The deadlines come from an official blog post and a multi-post walkthrough thread on X, with a full guide for affected users; the team urges action before the last day. m.USDC, m.USDT, WETH, METIS issued via the canonical bridge need no action.

• October 30, 2026: LayerZero Labs' default DVN and Executor stop serving Metis Andromeda — OApps/OFTs relying on them for a Metis pathway stop verifying and executing messages
• Developers can enable pathways on the new DVNs/Executor (covering Metis ↔ Ethereum, BNB Chain, GOAT Network only) or migrate assets to another supported EVM chain; V1 integrations must contact the Metis team before October 23
• December 15, 2026: Stargate V1 pools close on all chains

Metis launched Metis Rise, a monthly incentive program that pays cash prizes to builders who deploy new AI agents on Andromeda Mainnet, acquire real users, and generate onchain economic activity. It runs as a 3-month pilot before a decision on long-term adoption.

• Top 3 ranked builders split a $1,500 monthly pool ($800 / $450 / $250), paid in METIS or stables; ranking weighs valid monthly active users (80%) and METIS gas consumption (20%)
• Minimum bar to qualify: 15 valid monthly active users, each with ≥3 qualifying transactions or ≥$2 settled volume (m.USDC, m.USDT, or METIS), with anti-Sybil and funding-source checks before payout
• Open to all builders, not just bootcamp alumni; ClawUp, GOAT AgentKit, and self-hosted backends all qualify, including dual-chain setups via GOAT Network and x402, as long as settlement and gas happen on Andromeda
• Organized by Metis with ClawUp, GOAT Network, and LazAI as ecosystem partners, with a daily-updated public leaderboard and a recurring builder livestream

Metis' AI agent platform ClawUp now lets anyone deploy their own AI agent in seconds from clawup.org. Users pick a runtime — OpenClaw (the default) or Hermes Agent — choose a model, and hit deploy, with no servers or setup; agents are provisioned (creating → setting up → running) in roughly 1–3 minutes.

• Model costs can be covered by ClawUp-managed credits, a bring-your-own API key, or a connected Claude/ChatGPT subscription
• Both runtimes run inside a managed container and share the same management API, and agent memory/state stays portable and user-controlled
• Messaging channels (Telegram, Feishu/Lark, Slack) can be paired at creation or added later
• Announced via the Metis X account on Oct 2, 2026

Metis' AI agent platform ClawUp shipped Multi-Channel Support, letting agents meet users where they already talk instead of forcing them onto a new interface. The push is pitched around pairing a Claw with Telegram, Feishu/Lark, or Slack — finishing setup and chatting right where conversations already happen.

• Out of the box, ClawUp supports three channels: Telegram (bot token), Feishu (app ID + app secret), and Slack (bot token + app token).
• Users pick a channel when creating a Claw, drop in their credentials, and ClawUp handles the distribution.
• Announced via Metis' X account across a three-post thread.

Metis wrapped its 8-week AI Agent builder program run this summer alongside ClawUp, GOAT Network, LazAI, CryptoChicks, and MindFuel. The program drew 91 applicants, narrowed to 12 teams and 9 finalists, judged not on demos but on real users and onchain traction. Co-founder @kevinliu said they see “potential and very promising projects coming up” and want to support them continuously.

• A $1M grant program is now open to the teams that made it through the bootcamp
• Finals were decided by real users and onchain traction, not demo quality
• Announced via the Metis X account with a live presentation of the AI agent work

Metis' AI agent platform ClawUp opened its Tool Marketplace so any user can submit an MCP server for review. Once approved, the server becomes available platform-wide and every user can bind it to their Claw in a single click.\n\n- Aimed at letting builders "build once, ship platform-wide"\n- Reviewed submissions are surfaced to all ClawUp users\n- Announced via the Metis X account
