METIS is “an ERC-20 utility token compliant with the Ethereum network. The primary functionality of the METIS token is to 1) stake for DACs to sequence transactions and 2) pay transaction fees/gas on the Metis network.”
METIS has also been used “to incentivize developer activity on MetisDAO. Metis is an Ethereum rollup with the goal of improving scalability and lowering fees.”
Metis uses multiple sequencers that “pool transactions back to the Ethereum mainnet. These sequencers are called Decentralized Autonomous Companies (DACs).” DACs confirm transactions ‘by operating nodes and staking METIS tokens using a form of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

REVV is “an ERC-20 governance token compliant with the Ethereum network.” The primary use case for REVV tokens is as buy-in funds for play-to-earn racing games developed by Animoca Brands.”

These “include MotoGP™ Ignition, Formula E: High Voltage, and REVV Racing.”

JAM is “an ERC-20 utility token compliant with the Ethereum network. The primary use cases of JAM are fan incentivization, use within the Geojam shop to buy merchandise, NFTs, and experiences, as well as staking for node operation.”
Geojam is “a content media platform for sharing music and events powered by Web3. Geojam users can earn rewards by using the application and performing tasks like listening to and sharing music, creating groups, and interacting with posted content.”
Curators are ‘rewarded for creating popular playlists and connecting fans with new artists.”
ZBC is ‘an SPL token compliant with the Solana network and can be staked on Raydium. Zebec is a Solana-based DeFi protocol that runs Zebec Pay, a platform that allows for users to generate continuous payment streams.”
Developers can use the Zebec software development kit “to create payment streams by setting a start time, end time, recipient wallet, and amount.’
GMT is “an SPL token compliant with the Solana network.” GMT tokens can be “earned by STEPN sneaker holders and can be used to access in-app features such as sneaker upgrades and minting new sneakers.”
