After the appearance and success of Bitcoin (BTC), the first cryptocurrency launched on the market as a novel option for a means of payment, investments have been progressively being made in new cryptographic projects in order to improve the ecosystem. There are currently thousands of cryptocurrencies on the market, each with its own philosophy, technological systems, properties, advantages and risks.
Metronome is a new cryptocurrency created by Jeff Garzik (American engineer co-founder of blockchain company Bloq and one of the main developers of Bitcoin core). The main characteristic of this new cryptocurrency and that differentiates it from the rest, is its ability to change from one blockchain system to another, which is a great advantage for investors, especially today where digital currencies constitute a market very changeable. The basic design principles of this cryptocurrency are self-government, reliability and portability, this allows to achieve the consolidation of a highly decentralized financial system, where issuance and supply are immutable and the governance system begins with the launch.
Metronome aims to be a totally autonomous system, designed to be sustained over time. Its behavior is governed by smart contracts, the first one (General Ledger Contract) dictates how the token behaves, in addition there are three other contracts (auction, income and autonomous converter). Currently its token (MET) occupies position 553 in coinmarketcap, with a value of $ 0.730137.
It should be noted that Metronome has the support of important strategic partners such as Jaxx, Zeppelin, Perkinscoie, New Alchemy, among others. Metronome is currently available on Ethereum and Ethereum Classic but research is ongoing to achieve compatibility with other blockchains.
There are high expectations about the use of this cryptocurrency in the future. Many claim that it can dethrone Bitcoin!
