What Metadium is

Metadium (META) is a Layer-1 blockchain network, currently ranked 533rd by market capitalization among the assets we track. Metadium is its own settlement layer. Smart contracts run on top of it, fees are paid in META, and the security model rests on validators bonding the token rather than burning energy to mine it.

Metadium (META) is a decentralized identity protocol that enables users to manage and control their digital identities on blockchain technology. It aims to enhance privacy and security while facilitating seamless interactions in the digital world.

How consensus and the token economy connect

Because security is bought with bonded META rather than hardware, the share of supply staked is a useful gauge of conviction — and of how much float is effectively locked.

Under the hood, META secures its ledger with Proof of Authority, built on the Raft algorithm.

Background & fundamentals

Metadium operates under a centralized structure, which concentrates protocol decisions in an identifiable issuer or foundation. Its codebase is open-source, meaning the implementation can be audited rather than taken on trust. The project publishes a whitepaper documenting its original design, which is worth reading before sizing any position in META.

CoinPaprika classifies the project's development status as "On-going development". In sector terms it is most often filed under Identity & Verification and Ethereum (ETH) Token (ERC-20).

Where Metadium sits in the market

Trading around $0.00780600, Metadium carries a market capitalization of $13.42M. Around $69.69K changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.52% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.

Metadium carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. META remains -100% beneath its all-time high of $117.26, the kind of gap that historically takes a full cycle or a fresh catalyst to close.

What the price history shows

Across timeframes, META shows 24-hour +1.10%, 7-day -4.51%.

Volatility profile

Recent action puts Metadium in the Low-volatility band — it has been relatively stable, with moves typical of large-cap, mature assets.

How to evaluate Metadium

A grounded read on META comes down to three questions:

  • Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
  • Staking economics — the share of META staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
  • Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Metadium over competing Layer-1s.
