Crypto: Megaeth Mainnet To Launch Feb. 9 After Clocking 35k Tps In Testing

The 10.7 billion transactions seen during MegaETH’s stress test were more than the Ethereum blockchain has seen in its 10–year history.

Ethereum layer 2 MegaETH has penciled its mainnet launch for Feb. 9 after a rigorous “global stress test” last week to ensure the high‑speed chain is ready for public use.

“Get ready for the fastest* EVM chain ever,” MegaETH co-founder and chief technology officer Lei Yang posted to X on Wednesday after the chain was seen processing up to 35,000 transactions per second during the seven-day stress test.

The test involved MegaETH opening the mainnet to select users to test latency-sensitive apps while MegaETH devs pushed the chain to the limit on the backend.

Around 10.7 billion transactions were processed on the chain from Web3 games like Smasher, Crossy Fluffle, and Stomp.gg, with one selected user, Simon Dedic, founder and managing partner of crypto investment firm Moonrock Capital, noting that the apps ran smoothly in real-time.

“No latency. No congestion. No degraded UX like you get on almost every other chain. Just apps that work, smoothly, in real time,” Dedic said. “Wild to think MegaETH has already processed more transactions in a few days than Ethereum did in nearly 11 years, without compromising user experience.”

The 10.7 billion transactions seen in the stress test fell just short of the MegaETH team’s 11 billion target.

MegaETH has touted offering sub-millisecond latency and over 100,000 TPS capacity, positioning it to become one of the fastest blockchains in the crypto industry.
