What Is Meter Governance (MTRG)?

Meter Governance (MTRG) is a DeFi infrastructure with an in-built, metastable, crypto-native currency. The platform claims to function as a high-performance, highly-decentralized side-chain for Ethereum and multiple other public chains. The Meter Governance structure utilizes Proof of Work for building a low-volatility and fully decentralized coin for payments and expenses. The platform uses Proof of Stake based on HotStuff with the MTRG coin for validating the transactions, as per the website’s claims. The hybrid consensus tool makes the platform fast; the Meter system can efficiently process thousands of trade transactions per second, achieving finality instantly and securely. As per its whitepaper, MTRG is a vital part of Meter's ingenious hybrid consensus protocol, making the platform greener, a hundred times quicker than standard proof of work-based blockchain.

The Meter Governance platform strives to solve two significant problems in the cryptocurrency ecosystem such as:

• The shortage of a stable and decentralized unit of the account conveys an established value for the Defi applications: Native cryptocurrencies are excessively volatile for recurring transactions, and stablecoins have a limited capacity, are centralized, and rely on oracles.

• Problems with interoperability and scaling of presently availableblockchains: There is a requirement for an EVM-compatible and high-performance blockchain but easily exchangeable between different blockchains for helping in scaling and moving value between the blockchains. 

MTRG is the native and governance token.) of the Meter ecosystem. As per its whitepaper, the token is designed for significant modifications to the monetary policy, MTR productions and latest element added to the primary chain which need voting to be started by MTRG. The holders can stake the MTRG tokens simply as a PoS (Proof of Stake) validator or assign them to other PoS validators for approving transactions and earning MTR. The holders can earn varied costs paid in the MTR from the on-chain and cross-chain transactions. The MTRG tokens can be staked in the DeFi apps developed by the Meter platform. The traders can partake in the governance of the Meter ecosystem.
