> Tokenize your app with metal

Metal is a token infrastructure platform that helps developers create and manage appcoins through a simple API without requiring smart contract knowledge.

Metal helps developers tokenize their applications through a simple API that creates appcoins, manages token holders, and processes transactions without requiring smart contracts, wallets, or blockchain expertise. With it, you can reward users, track balances, and create token economies. Metal serves as a bridge between traditional applications and blockchain technology on Base.
