## About Meter

Meter is a layer 1 blockchain with Freedom and Fairness as the first principle. It is highly decentralized, censorship resistant yet blazing fast and MEV resistant. Its native metastable gas token completes Satoshi’s vision of a sound money independent of the fiat system.

The mainnet launched in July 2020.

Meter Network is;

1. EVM compatible
2. Highly Decentralized with over 334 Validators and scalable to 1000s of validators without effect on performance (powered by HotStuff Consensus)
3. High throughput (1500 TPS), low latency (1.9 sec) and instant deterministic finality chain
4. MEV resistant (transaction processing in sequence without gas price ranking)

Additional Information on the Meter Ecosystem is available on our [Website](https://meter.io/ecosystem).

DeFI ecosystem on Meter can be accessed on [DeFillama](https://defillama.com/chain/Meter).

Meter supports both native staking and liquid staking with staking yield at ~10%. More details available in our [documentation](https://docs.meter.io/full-node-and-validation/staking-mtrg-how-to-stake-and-staking-details).

## Contact Information

I, sg\_meter, am part of the operations team. Core development team assisting in this integration are Xiaohan Zhu ([Telegram](https://t.me/xiaohanzhu)) and Simon ([Telegram](https://t.me/simonzgg)).

Hi @[sg\_meter](https://forum.thegraph.com/u/sg_meter),

Thanks so much for starting this thread here!

To get started, I’d love to hop on a call with you/your team and @kyleArojas, from Edge & Node, to go over the first step, the Subgraph Studio integration.

Feel free to DM me with your availability and e-mail. Kyle is currently OOO, so we’ll likely aim for next week only.

Welcome to The Graph! 🧑‍🚀

Thanks for info, but the link to the discord channel ([Discord](https://discord.com/channels/517489758591516682)) is not working.

Is non-docker installs (systemd) supported, or docker is required? Also does it run fine in kubernetes?

To keep everyone updated, the Subgraph Studio Integration is currently on hold after discussions with Meter, and the testnet testing phase will be held off for now.
