CoinQuora Exclusively Interviews Sarthak Shah of Metria

Metria is a coming-of-age network created on the Blockchain that eliminates prolonged transactional wait times while minimizing gas fees. The company aims to inhibit the infamous Blockchain Trilemma comprising Scalability, Security, and Decentralization.

The following are the excerpts of CoinQuora’s interview with Sarthak Shah, the Chief Innovation Officer at Metria Network.

Q. Please introduce yourself and your project to us.

I am Sarthak Shah, the Chief Innovation Officer at Metria Network. I have been actively involved in blockchain and the crypto space for the last seven years. Metria Network is a unique project that aims to directly address the infamous blockchain trilemma.

Q. How does blockchain integrate or connect to your project?

We are creating a Multi-Chain ecosystem that enables seamless transfer of crypto and NFTs across multiple blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and more in the future. On top of the new network, the Metria team is creating an NFT Marketplace, Decentralized Exchange, and other Web3 services for Metria Network users.

Q. What do you think about the metaverse and other things that connect to the metaverse space?

Metaverse-like environments have been around us for many years in the form of multiplayer games and online collaboration tools. However, only recently the progress in blockchain technology has led us to sustainable solutions that allow the use of a decentralized network so that no single corporation but rather the community has the control. The Metaverse is amazingly intriguing and I’m well aware of it theoretically. I must say I was fascinated by the name and hence thought of ‘Metria’.

Metria Network developers are working on bringing the “Play-to-Earn” concept for its community where users can access the Metria Metaverse, view and trade NFTs, and play decentralized games.

Q. What are the new projects you see on the horizon? Are there any projects you are planning to venture into?

The creation of the Metria Network and its functions takes most of the time since we aim to create the best Multi Chain network possible. Our next release in the roadmap is a curated art gallery – NFT Market & DeX. This is functional, secure, fast, with negligible gas fees. Metria network is quite focused on delivering its product to the community. Metria blockchain development is our key development of the project.

Q. What makes your project different from the others?

When we brainstorm and create different parts of the Metria Network we always try to put ourselves in the user’s shoes. Current technology is available in a way that blockchains indeed do not communicate with each other. This means all coins, tokens, dApps, and others run on isolated bridges. 

The possibility to create, own and transfer digital assets is not complex anymore because, switching between networks, checking compatibility between protocols all will be taken care of in a simple but secure way.

Metria Network Tokens are the base currency that serves the community in all decentralized functions, like NFT Marketplace, Metria Network original art Airdrops, and almost no gas fee for Metria Dex that supports multiple chains.

Q. Can you tell us what new technology you are excited about?

All new DeFi dapps offer trading tools, lending, and borrowing opportunities. Uniswap, a partner of Metria Network, is currently the largest and most reputable DEX. It provides a frictionless experience for everyone interested in exchanging cryptocurrency.

There is excitement about PolyShard: “Polynomially coded sharding” scheme that achieves information-theoretic lower bounds on storage, computational costs, as well as on trust – thus enabling a truly scalable system. PolySharding will be integrated into the Metria Network.

Lastly, I would like to mention the Inter Blockchain Communication protocol. The IBC application layer can be used to build a wide range of cross-chain applications, including but not limited to token transfers, interchain accounts (delegate calls between two chains), non-fungible token transfers, and oracle data feed.

We are mostly working with blockchain but I think that AI could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. I feel excited about Google’s DeepMind and OpenAIs GPT3. Like the James Webb Space telescope that will help us look deeper into space, these tools are already expanding human knowledge and making a positive global impact.

Q. Do you have anything specific to share about your project?

The Metria Network’s native $METR token will be starting whitelisting on April 5, 2022, together with the Airdrop campaign. Visit www.metrianetwork.io and join our community for more updates. Multiple rare, utility-based NFT Cards and Assets are set to be given away in the coming days!
