What's the Deal with MegaETH? 🤔
The upcoming Vitalik-backed L2 wants to be the 'real-time Ethereum'
What's its plan? Find out 👇
MegaETH, an upcoming L2 branded as the “real-time Ethereum” boasting sub-millisecond latency and capable of processing over 100k transactions per seco nd (TPS), just announced that it has received $20M in seed funding at a $100M + valuation!
The big names involved have attracted some major attention to the upstart chain.
Today, we’re discussing how MegaETH is innovating on contemporary Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchain implementations to provide industry-leading performance capabilities and decentralization guarantees.
⭐️ What Makes MegaETH Special
High-performance alt L1s require their nodes to perform identical tasks without specialization, imposing a fundamental tradeoff between performance and decentralization. In comparison, MegaETH takes advantage of Ethereum’s L2s technology to create differentiated roles for nodes with varying hardware requirements.
MegaETH decouples the task of transaction processing from full nodes and creates three major roles for infrastructure operators: sequencers, provers, and full nodes. Although actual block production becomes increasingly centralized with MegaETH, flexible hardware requirements from node specialization ensures trustless block validation and could provide industry-leading decentralization guarantees.
A single active MegaETH sequencer will be responsible for ordering and executing user transactions, eliminating the consensus process during normal operations, and will pass state differences (i.e.; changes to the blockchain’s state) to full nodes via a peer-to-peer network, who then apply the state diffs to update their local state. Notably, MegaETH transactions are not re-executed by full nodes to verify block integrity; they instead validate blocks indirectly using proofs provided by the prover.
While blockchains have frequently turned to one-off solutions like parallelization in their pursuit of scale, enabling transactions touching different parts of state to be processed simultaneously on multiple CPU cores, the benefits of this specific approach are limited by the fact that many transactions contain dependencies, resulting in only modest boosts from parallelization for blockchain speed.
Such ambitions necessitate scaling node hardware to its limits while preserving decentralization (achieved through specialization) and require the creation of a system innately designed to approach the theoretical upper performance limit for a decentralized blockchain.
To this end, the MegaETH sequencer will store the entirety of its state in-memory and be the first blockchain to implement in-memory compute, a critical feature for high-performance Web2 applications that should enable MegaETH to accelerate state access by 1,000x compared to alternative solid state drive storage methods utilized by competitors.
🧐 Closing Thoughts
The significant performance improvements targeted by MegaETH over contemporary EVM implementations should provide a major boost to L2 performance and could finally produce a decentralized blockchain capable of handling real-world adoption!
Although some contend that MegaETH is best suited as a competitor against an Ethereum ecosystem largely uninterested in scaling its base layer, the optimizations achieved by MegaETH are made possible solely through its ability to outsource security and censorship resistance to existing decentralized networks, like Ethereum and EigenLayer.

Daily Memecoin Recap - June 27
The market is still struggling to find a concrete meta
In this market, the key is to adapt & be versatile
Trump vs Biden Debate
$usa -> $16 .6m to $43m (2.6x from the low)
$usacto -> hit $3m , "America CTO"
$bboden -> hit $583k , POTUS as a redacted baby
$joever -> hit $550k , "It's Joever"
$sloe -> hit $450k , "Sloppy Joe"
Gavin Newsom Replacing Joe Biden
$noosum -> $1 .1m to $9 .2m (8.36x), redacted Newsom
$newsum -> $440k to $3 .4m (7.7x), another redacted Newsom
$newsom -> $91k to $2 .3m (25.5x)
- After Joe Biden's poor performance, people are saying that democrats should replace him with GavinNewsom
Viral Meme "Daddy Chill" Launch
$chill -> hit $4 .75m,
Amber Rose Launch
$muva -> hit $8 .3m,
Kimi Reaches $300m +
$kimi -> hit $330m , heavily bundled, launched on pumpdotfun
$kimi -> hit $1m , "KIMI-burn"
Cat Memes
$sc -> $3 .5m to $9 .9m (2.82x), "Star Cat", strong CTO
$bobby -> $1 .4m to $6 .6m (4.71x), CTO
$tiny -> hit $1 .7m, dev is doxxed, using his own cat
Dog Memes
$spot -> hit $1 .8m, 180+ people in vc
$bullseye -> hit $470k , "Target Dog", CTO
Long-Term Cooks
$popcat -> $220m to $625m (2.84x from the low)
$ponke -> $131m to $232 .9m (1.77x from the low)
$michi -> $44m to $155m (3.52x from the low)
More Plays
$aura -> $4 .9m to $11m (2.24x), good team
$spike -> $595k to $1 .8m (3x), another $spike launched which seemed like a honeypot, people bought into the OG spike for a bounce
$moonwif -> $120k to $420k (3.5x), launched on dexscreener's moonshot
$otty -> hit $1 .8m, Otter Meme, CTO
CTO's are a meta in & of itself.
Most of these CTO coins would not have pumped as much if the dev never sold
