MegaETH Hits 47K TPS As It Prepares For 11B Transaction Stress Test
Summary
Ethereum layer 2 solution MegaETH recently recorded speeds of up to 47,000 transactions per second (TPS) during testing as it gears up for a major "global stress test" scheduled for Thursday, preceding its official mainnet launch. This stress test aims to be "uncomfortable," targeting sustained, real TPS between 15,000 and 35,000, accumulating a total of 11 billion transactions over seven days. During this period, the MegaETH team will push the chain using ETH transfers and v3 AMM swaps via @kumbaya_xyz, while users engage with Web3 gaming applications like stomp.gg. MegaETH positions itself as the "first real-time blockchain," optimized for speed over decentralization, with a theoretical capacity exceeding 100,000 TPS. Data analytics platform growthepie confirmed the 47,000 TPS peak, noting its significance compared to other chains. The official mainnet launch will occur shortly after the successful completion of this extensive stress test.
