Metis airdrop step by step tutorial
The Metis airdrop is a Layer3 quest for claiming rewards from a Metis campaign, and the homepage was still linking to it on 2 November 2026, so the campaign counts as live on that date. Taking part means opening the reward-claiming quest on Layer3 from the "Claim Layer3 rewards" button. The banner leaves the reward type and the closing date of the claim window unstated.
Live · checked 2 November 2026
As of 2 November 2026, the Metis homepage banner invites visitors to join the LazAI Explainer Challenge and offers a "Claim Layer3 rewards" link to the Metis reward-claiming quest on Layer3. Reward type and closing date for claiming are absent from the banner.

What is Metis?
Metis is an Ethereum Layer 2 network that its own Medium page describes as EVM-equivalent and aimed at bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Its homepage frames the project as accelerating the transition to Web3 for an inclusive, accessible and decentralized world, and it addresses two audiences: developers who build applications on the network and a community that helps govern the ecosystem.
The documentation covers Hyperion, a newer Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 built with the Metis SDK, which is meant to run beside Andromeda, the established network for general-purpose apps. Metis also runs Community Ecosystem Governance, a voting framework for its community, and an ecosystem fund paid in METIS. The homepage lists a commitment of 250,000 tokens to grants in 2024.
How Metis works
Hyperion, the network described in the Metis docs, is an optimistic rollup: transactions are processed on the Layer 2 and periodic state commitments are posted to Ethereum. The docs add a parallel execution engine, so smart contracts and transactions run at the same time, and say a decentralized sequencer network is coming in an upcoming release.
Ecosystem money moves through the Metis Ecosystem Development Fund. Its December 2023 announcement sets the fund at 4.6 million METIS and describes Builder Mining Rewards, which pay ecosystem apps each month based on the transactions they generate.
The Layer3 campaign is separate from those funds. The homepage banner links a Layer3 quest for claiming rewards, so the claim happens on Layer3's quest page. Neither the banner nor that link's label gives the reward type, the amount, a snapshot date or a closing date for the claim window. Beside it, the banner also links a LazAI Explainer Challenge on the community forum, with no reward described.
The METIS airdrop
The Metis homepage points to a Layer3 quest for claiming rewards from a Metis campaign, so the payout step is a claim made on that quest page. The homepage does not say whether the reward is METIS or something else, how much it is, who qualifies, or when claiming closes. The same banner also links a LazAI Explainer Challenge on the community forum.
Step by step: how to get the METIS airdrop
Stay safe: a real airdrop never asks for your seed phrase or private key. Use only the official links on this page, and treat any message that offers help with a claim as a scam.
Step 1: Open the Metis homepage
Go to the Metis homepage and find the banner at the top that reads "Claim Layer3 rewards".
Step 2: Open the reward-claiming quest
Select "Claim here" in the banner, or go straight to the Layer3 quest page.
Step 3: Follow the quest's own instructions
Layer3 shows what the quest asks for and what it pays. The Metis homepage gives neither, so read the quest page before doing anything.
Step 4: Check the LazAI Explainer Challenge separately
The same banner links a LazAI Explainer Challenge on the community forum. Its rewards are not described on the homepage, so treat it as its own task.
Metis airdrop FAQ
Is the Metis airdrop still live?
- Yes, as of 2 November 2026 the Metis homepage still shows a "Claim Layer3 rewards" link to the Metis reward-claiming quest on Layer3, next to a LazAI Explainer Challenge invitation. Neither the reward type nor a claim deadline appears there.
Which token does the Metis airdrop pay?
- No reward type appears on the banner for the Layer3 claim. Metis does have a token named METIS, which its fund announcement and grant list use as the unit of payment, but nothing on the banner ties the Layer3 claim to it. Check the quest page for the reward.
Does the Metis Layer3 claim cost anything or need KYC?
- Nothing on the homepage banner asks for a fee, a deposit or ID verification for the claim. Any requirement would be set on the Layer3 quest page itself, which you open from the "Claim here" link before deciding whether to continue.
How do I claim the Metis rewards?
- Use the "Claim here" link under "Claim Layer3 rewards" on the Metis homepage. It opens the Metis reward-claiming quest on Layer3, where the claim is made. The homepage gives no claim deadline, so the quest page is the place to look for one.
