🎯 MEGAETH MAINNET: 50,000 TPS PER THE BLOCKCHAIN IN REAL TIME 🎯
MegaETH launched its mainnet on February 9, revolutionizing the Ethereum landscape with a target of 50,000 transactions per second (TPS) and block times of only 10 milliseconds.
It is neither a traditional L1 nor an L2, but a "performance-first" blockchain that relies on Ethereum for settlement and security, eliminating latency bottlenecks.
At the core of the system is SALT (Small Authentication Large Trie), an innovation that keeps the key data in RAM, drastically reducing the typical disk I/O accesses of Ethereum's MPT. This allows for rapid updates of the blockchain state without degradation, supporting high-frequency workloads such as HFT and real-time applications in DeFi and gaming.
During the testnets, MegaETH processed billions of transactions at sustained 15,000-35,000 TPS, surpassing Solana and other L2s.
At launch, over 50 apps are already live, including DeFi protocols like Aave, GMX, and Chainlink, with access to $14 billion in assets including Lido's wstETH.
The ecosystem includes "The Rabbithole", a frontend to discover dApps, bridge assets, and receive event notifications.
The 10ms mini-blocks ensure rollback protection and EVM compatibility, with elastic production on demand.
MegaETH is not just scalable: it is designed for the future, with grants for developers and plans for a decentralized sequencer.
This means instant transactions on secure Ethereum – the step towards "real-time blockchain".
