Hello, r/Cryptocurrency!

We’re Metal, a company dedicated to reimagining how the world uses money - in all of its forms. Our company is composed of distinct, yet intertwined, products that build off of each other to create a robust and growing ecosystem.

Proton Blockchain

Proton uses a system of human-readable verified @names to approve transactions, receive funds, and ensure the ecosystem stays people-friendly. Capable of up to 4,000 transactions per second, and with zero gas fees. A key part of the Proton blockchain is the Proton wallet, an app available for Android and iOS users that allows for easy transaction approvals, cryptocurrency storage, staking, swapping, and so much more. Cryptocurrency swapping is done through Proton Swap, a next-generation decentralized cryptocurrency exchange.

Proton Loan

Proton Loan is a new decentralized lending market built on the Proton blockchain. Utilizing the cross-chain capabilities of Proton-wrapped xtokens, Proton Loan makes it possible to deposit cryptocurrency into lending pools to earn interest, and to take collateralized loans from cryptocurrency pools with zero gas fees.

Proton Market

Proton Market is a radically easy-to-use NFT marketplace that allows anyone to create, sell, buy, and trade NFTs. A unique feature of Proton Market is the ability to earn royalties on your NFTs and that you pay zero gas fees.

Metal Pay

Metal Pay is a payments app with a built-in cryptocurrency Marketplace containing over 40 different token options. With fees starting at just 1% for all trades, and 0% fees for BTC, TUSD, MTL, and XPR, Metal Pay is one of the most affordable ways to buy and sell cryptocurrency.

WebAuth.com

We’ve built WebAuth.com to become the standard for authorization, identity, and online payment processing by verifying identities through the use of your Face ID / Touch ID / MetaMask / Yubikey or other authentication methods, over the Proton network.

Recent milestones & updates:
