MTL is the token of Metal DAO and is issued on Ethereum. It is a specific asset identifier and should not be regarded as the same asset as METAL, Metal Dollar (XMD), or XMT on XPR Network merely because their names are similar. When checking a balance, making a deposit, or transferring on-chain, confirm the token symbol, the network, and the asset supported by the recipient at the same time; similar symbols do not prove that the asset or transfer network is the same.

Q: What are MTL's supply and initial allocation?

MTL has a hard-cap supply of 66,588,888 tokens. A hard cap describes the maximum number that may exist under the token's design; it is not equivalent to the amount freely tradable at any given time or to its market price. The Metal DAO Whitepaper records that the 2016 initial allocation covered a rewards pool, initial circulation, operations, employees and advisors, and the foundation, and states that distribution was completed. This indicates that the supply formation method described in the material was an initial distribution; however, this information alone cannot be used to infer the current circulating supply.

Q: How does holding MTL affect use of Metal Pay?

In the Metal Pay service, an in-app MTL balance can correspond to fee reductions for buying and selling digital assets. Its role here is a transaction-fee discount under service rules, rather than the automatic waiver of network fees for all on-chain transactions simply by holding the token. Whether a discount applies to a particular transaction and the size of that discount depend on the Metal Pay service rules and applicable transaction at the time. This arrangement should not be understood as a fixed return or a general governance right.

Q: Why should you check MTL's symbol and network before transferring it?

Checking the symbol and network when transferring helps confirm that the asset being sent is MTL and that the receiving side supports that asset on Ethereum. If a similarly named but different asset, or an asset on an incompatible network, is sent to an address, the recipient may be unable to recognize or credit it. This check is especially important because Metal Pay's introduction lists MTL, METAL, XMD, and XMT together; they are not the same in asset identity or network.

Why Did Metal (MTL) Rise in the Last 24 Hours?

The rebound after the sharp decline on 2026-10-26 is more consistent with a technical recovery and does not by itself establish a trend reversal. Technical signals on 2026-10-27 diverged by timeframe: moving averages were bullish on the 15-minute and 1-hour charts, but trend strength was limited; the 4-hour moving average remained bearish, with an ADX of 66.05 indicating a strong trend on that timeframe. The top-five-level order-book depth ratio was 0.33, with sell orders substantially outweighing buy orders. Buy orders were concentrated near $0.2594, creating localized support, while the shallow book also means relatively small trades could cause larger price swings. Thus, a short-term rebound coexists with a weaker medium-term structure, and changes in trading volume and order-book depth affect that assessment.

About Metal (MTL)

Metal is a digital asset storage payment wallet, which distributes tokens through "processing proof of payment" (Popp). Verified payment (Popp) is a verifiable way to identify users and allocate new currencies to the system. When users use wallets to transfer, pay and remit money, they will receive certain tokens. In addition, users who convert legal tender into cryptocurrency will be rewarded. Metal's system uses provable payments with additional authentication to allocate tokens. Anyone can participate in earning metal token as a reward, or convert legal currency to cryptocurrency MTL. The metal project aims to provide all the financial services required by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) as far as possible. MTL token is the local currency in the metal system, which is translated into Chinese. Metal is different from general digital currency wallets. General digital currency wallets consume tokens or miners' fees in the process of use. Metal not only does not consume handling fees, but also rewards users with a certain amount of metal. It is distributed by users through payment certificates (popps). Users receive MTL token rewards for every dollar spent by completing shopping payments or remittances. The maximum MTL quantity is 66.5 million. You can earn up to 5% MTL for each purchase. Users can get huge discounts by using MTL. MTL is easy to earn and makes consumption more interesting.
