Metis AI Community (MAC)

Overview

The Metis AI Community (MAC) is a community-led initiative designed to accelerate open-source AI development on the Metis L2 ecosystem. Through a decentralized bounty system, MAC provides an efficient funding mechanism for AI-related development requests, enabling collaborative innovation across the Metis ecosystem.

Mission

To foster an environment where AI projects can collectively fund development, while providing direct incentives for developers to build open-source AI-driven features that scale the Metis ecosystem.

Core Features

Decentralized Bounty System

• Community-managed multisig wallet for multi-token rewards
• Transparent funding mechanism for AI-related development
• Open participation model for developers and projects

Development Request (DR) Framework

• Structured process for proposing AI-related features
• Clear documentation and submission guidelines
• Community-driven prioritization of development needs

Collaborative Development Model

• Shared infrastructure development
• Open-source code requirements
• Ecosystem-wide benefit focus

How It Works

1. Project Proposals

   • Projects submit Development Requests (DRs)
   • DRs must benefit multiple projects with AI features on Metis L2
   • Clear documentation of requirements and success criteria

2. Funding Mechanism

   • Multi-token rewards pooled in community multisig
   • Projects can co-sponsor development efforts
   • Transparent fund management and distribution

3. Development Process

   • Open bounties for developer participation
   • Clear milestones and deliverables
   • Community review and approval process

4. Integration and Implementation

   • Open-source code availability
   • Documentation for ecosystem integration
   • Shared benefit across participating projects
