MegaETH Sets Jan. 22 Mainnet Stress Test Targeting 11 Billion Transactions

The Ethereum‑secured Layer 2 will use the week to validate stability, fees, and finality before a rapid public rollout.

Overview

  • The week-long run targets sustained throughput of 15,000–35,000 transactions per second after internal tests peaked near 47,000 TPS on January 16.
  • Initial access is limited to latency-sensitive gaming apps including Stomp.gg, Smasher, and Crossy Fluffle.
  • To generate continuous volume, the team will push ETH transfers and v3 AMM swaps through Kumbaya.xyz until the network reaches 11 billion transactions.
  • MegaETH positions itself as an Ethereum-compatible execution layer with near‑real‑time confirmations and predictable sequencer costs via its USDm stablecoin.
  • Backed by investors including Dragonfly Capital, Vitalik Buterin, and Joseph Lubin, the project plans broader public mainnet availability in the days following the test.
