What Is Myria (MYRIA) and How Does It Work?
Myria is an
Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain built specifically for
gaming,
NFTs, and digital asset platforms that need high throughput and low costs. It aims to bring Web2-level performance to Web3 by removing gas fees for end users while keeping
Ethereum’s security guarantees. The Myria ecosystem includes a gaming platform, NFT marketplace, developer tools, and infrastructure designed to onboard millions of players into
blockchain gaming.
At its core, Myria uses
zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-Rollup) technology to batch thousands of transactions off-chain and settle them on Ethereum as a single proof. This approach significantly reduces transaction fees and latency while maintaining strong security and data integrity. For players and creators, this means instant transactions, zero gas fees, and seamless interactions with games and NFTs, without needing deep blockchain knowledge.
The MYRIA token powers the ecosystem by supporting transaction processing, ecosystem incentives, node operations, and governance participation. Developers can use MYRIA-backed infrastructure to launch games and NFT projects, while users can earn or spend MYRIA within Myria-powered applications. As of February 2026, Myria positions itself as a scalable, gaming-focused Layer-2 that bridges mainstream gaming experiences with decentralized ownership on Ethereum.
When Did Myria Launch?
Myria began development in 2021 and publicly launched its network and ecosystem in August 2022 with the goal of providing a scalable, low-cost blockchain infrastructure specifically for games, NFTs, and digital assets on Ethereum using ZK-Rollup technology. The project was founded by a team of gaming and blockchain veterans including co-founders Brendan Duhamel and Andrew Silber, supported by other experienced builders in game design and tech. Myria’s vision has centered on uniting blockchain and play, and since launch the ecosystem has grown to host hundreds of projects and a lively gaming community.

What Is the MYRIA Token Used for?
The MYRIA token is the native utility token of the Myria ecosystem, serving as the backbone of activity on the Myria Layer-2 blockchain built for NFTs, gaming, and digital assets. It is used to pay protocol fees on the network, purchase Myria Nodes, participate in staking programs once enabled, and engage in governance decisions by voting on proposals that influence the future development of the Myria platform. MYRIA also fuels in-game economies, allowing players and developers to buy items, unlock features, and drive a circular, ecosystem-wide economy as adoption grows.
