About Metal

Metal is a cryptocurrency payment platform designed to make digital currency accessible to mainstream users. Founded by Marshall Hayner, Metal Pay enables instant ACH bank transfers and rewards users with MTL tokens for everyday purchases — a concept they called Proof of Processed Payments (PoP). The Metal Pay app functions like a crypto-enabled Venmo, allowing users to send money to friends and buy cryptocurrencies. MTL serves as the utility token powering rewards and fee discounts within the Metal ecosystem, aiming to onboard non-technical users into cryptocurrency through familiar payment experiences.

How to Swap MTL

To swap Metal (MTL) on SyntheticSwap, no account creation or KYC is required. MTL runs on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, compatible with MetaMask, Ledger, Rainbow, and any Web3 wallet. Navigate to SyntheticSwap, choose MTL as either source or target, enter your wallet address for the destination asset, and send MTL from your personal wallet to the deposit address shown. Swaps typically settle within a few Ethereum block confirmations, and your destination asset lands directly in your specified wallet.

Store MTL in any ERC-20 compatible Ethereum wallet such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or Ledger hardware wallet. MTL can also be held directly within the Metal Pay app.
