Hi,
I think you might have misunderstood a bit. Metronome is not a new blockchain, but rides ontop of EVMs. It is not app swapping, it's not an app platform. MET (the coin itself) is what is ported between chains. Metronome is a new cryptocurrency that is designed to endure through its principle design goals of self-governance (without undue founder influence), reliability (with a highly predictable supply and issuance schedule), and portability (so that MET owners can move their MET to compatible blockchains for whatever reason they desire).
I highly encourage you to read the Owner's Manual - there's an entire section devoted to motivations: https://github.com/autonomoussoftware/documentation/blob/master/owners_manual/owners_manual.md
Theoretically that all sounds so great, BUT:
DO THE FOUNDERS REALLY CARE ABOUT METRONOME?!
Look at Jeff's twitter account, he does not even mention that he works at MET:
Husband, father, builder, Co-founder @BloqInc, @SpaceChain & others, proud son of a USMC F-4 pilot.

Matthew cares about "Bloq, Inc., Tally Capital, Chamber of Digital Commerce" according to his linkedin profile.

The ICO was that often delayed that it was just painful..
One year ago or a bit longer ago when I heard from MTN, I clearly wanted to be a part of community, however, it really seems that its a side-side-side project from some big faces in crypto space.
That should not be hard critics, its just the situation how it feels
Hi,
Thanks for the comment. There are a few things to consider here, but obviously the team does care about Metronome and expanding it. Massive amounts of work went into building and launching Metronome so that it functioned correctly upon launch as an autonomous cryptocurrency -- hence the timeline considerations to allow for proper auditing.
No one can really work at MET since it's an autonomous cryptocurrency, not a company.
The team and the rest of the community is working hard on continuing to expand Metronome organically, since like I mentioned above there isn't a foundation or company - just a protocol.
That said, the community resources page should be up soon, the validator docs and code should be published soon, and there will be Metronome team members in Singapore at the Binance conference, if you're there I encourage you to come talk to us in the meeting room there.
Thanks, hope all is well,
