The first month of 2025 has been a big one for Mettalex. From launching a first-ever AI agent-powered bridge to making waves in the DeFAI movement, we have started the year strong.

Here’s everything that happened in January. Let’s break it all down. 👇

Core Updates & Releases

anyMTLX to MTLX – The AI Agent-Powered One-Way Bridge

We kickstarted this year with a breakthrough in cross-chain bridging through our first-ever AI agent-powered one-way bridge. An autonomous AI agent actively monitors the blockchain for locked anyMTLX tokens on the BNB Smart Chain. Once the transaction is received, this agent uses secure inter-agent interaction with another AI agent to release the equivalent $MTLX on Ethereum. This ensures a safe, efficient, and seamless transition without relying on liquidity pools or centralized intermediaries.

With over 60% of anyMTLX already bridged, the final deadline is February 15—make sure to migrate before then!

Updated Order Matching Algorithm is now live on the Beta

A better way of order matching and execution is now live on public Beta. Trades now execute not only when the exact price matches but also when a trade is beneficial for both parties involved.

UX Updation

We have started working on implementing the new UX design, which a private group will initially test. This new UX will make the system more intuitive and resonate more with familiar marketplaces.
