MegaETH Mainnet Launches, Promises 'Real‑Time' Ethereum Scaling

MegaETH officially launched its public mainnet, positioning itself as the world’s first “real‑time” blockchain and entering an active debate within the Ethereum ecosystem about whether scaling should rely on Layer 2 rollups or move toward higher‑performance, monolithic execution ^[1][2].

The project has set an aggressive technical target of up to 100,000 transactions per second and reports millisecond block times, with several major application integrations announced at launch ^[2][4].

At mainnet debut MegaETH also released Rabbithole, an ecosystem portal for apps, swaps and metrics intended to help users and developers navigate the new chain; project messaging emphasizes addressing persistent congestion, latency, and user‑experience issues on existing networks ^[3][1].

MegaETH's launch introduces an alternative scaling approach to Ethereum and is likely to sharpen discussions about the future balance between Layer 2 solutions and monolithic, high‑performance chains ^[1][2][4].
