Ethereum L2 MegaETH peaks at 47K TPS ahead of ‘global stress test’
Knowledge exhibits Ethereum layer 2 MegaETH hit community speeds of as much as 47,000 transactions per second in testing because the undertaking prepares for a stress take a look at forward of its mainnet launch.
In an X publish on Monday, MegaETH mentioned it’s going to launch a “international stress take a look at” on Thursday, with an official launch to observe.
“On Jan twenty second, we’re opening mainnet to customers for a number of latency-sensitive apps whereas the chain is below intense, sustained load,” MegaETH mentioned, including:
“Stress checks solely matter in the event that they’re uncomfortable. We’re focusing on sustained, true TPS of 15-35K, totaling 11B transactions throughout 7 days.”
Supply: MegaETH
The stress take a look at will embrace the MegaETH staff pushing the chain to the restrict on the backend, whereas permitting customers to interact with Web3 gaming functions stomp.gg, Smasher, and Crossy Fluffle.
“On the backend, the staff will likely be pushing a mix of ETH transfers and v3 AMM swaps by means of @kumbaya_xyz till we hit 11B. Ultimately, MegaETH can have the biggest tx rely in historical past throughout all EVM chains whereas customers frictionlessly play with the chain,” the staff mentioned.
MegaETH is an Ethereum layer 2 optimized for velocity over decentralization, with the undertaking touting it as “the primary real-time blockchain” that may be capable of course of over 100,000 TPS.
Presently, the MegaETH mainnet is barely open to a restricted variety of infrastructure builders and functions. The stress take a look at will see a restricted portion of the mainnet opened as much as customers. Within the X publish, MegaETH mentioned the official launch will observe shortly after the stress take a look at is full.

MegaETH hits 47,000 TPS
In accordance with an X publish on Thursday by Ethereum information analytics platform growthepie, MegaETH hit a excessive of virtually 47,000 transactions per second (TPS) on Jan. 16.
“Okay @megaethyou have our consideration, we see you testing issues out. Over 45k TPS, that is extra transactions in 1 second than some chains have in a complete day. Excited to see this capability put to good use!,” growthepie mentioned.

MegaETH is trying to hit 15,000 to 35,000 TPS throughout the stress take a look at, although the determine might differ as soon as it launches formally.
Different speed-focused chains, equivalent to Solana has a theoretical most of 65,000 TPS; nonetheless, real-world figures are nearer to round 3,100 TPS, in accordance with information from Token Terminal.
