Metronome ("Metronome" or "MTN") is a new cryptocurrency focused on making greater decentralization possible and delivering institutional-class endurance.
Metronome builds off the lessons learned from previous cryptocurrencies and optimizes for self-governance, long-term reliability, and maximum portability. Built by BloqLabs and supported by a diverse array of partners and advisors, Metronome is engineered to meet and exceed the high standards of the cryptocurrency community.
In developing an enduring cryptocurrency, Metronome is founded on three key design principles:
Self-Governance
with no undue influence from founders after initial launch and public access — contract governance starts at launch.
Reliability
and predictability where issuance and supply are immutable
Portability
to enable maximum decentralization, even across different blockchains
As the first cryptocurrency capable of being exported and imported across chains, Metronome will be initially issued on Ethereum with Ethereum Classic, Rootstock on Bitcoin, and Qtum support expected to follow. Such portability will allow users to select the chain that suits their requirements for management and security, or even upgrade the MTN contract if needed. With the main goal of Metronome being a cryptocurrency that is built to last, portability furthers this goal by freeing Metronome from the fate of any one chain.
Metronome will not be controlled by any party after launch—not even its authors—as it is completely autonomous. Bloq plans to continue to help by building an ongoing open-source community to support developers and users, but will have no access or control after the initial auction.
