MegaETH mainnet to launch Feb. 9 after clocking 35K TPS in testing

The 10.7 billion transactions seen during MegaETH’s stress test were more than the Ethereum blockchain has seen in its 10–year history.

Ethereum layer 2 MegaETH has penciled its mainnet launch for Feb. 9 after a rigorous “global stress test” last week to ensure the high‑speed chain is ready for public use.

“Get ready for the fastest* EVM chain ever,” MegaETH co-founder and chief technology officer Lei Yang posted to X on Wednesday after the chain was seen processing up to 35,000 transactions per second during the seven-day stress test.
