January 20 News, high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 network MegaETH announced that it will launch a global stress test of its mainnet before the official launch. Starting this Thursday, MegaETH’s mainnet will open its testing environment to the public, allowing users worldwide to verify its stability and throughput capabilities under extreme load, making the final preparations for the public mainnet release.
According to information released by MegaETH on the X platform, the core goal of this stress test is to process 11 billion transactions within 7 days, while maintaining network throughput stability in the range of 15,000 to 35,000 transactions per second. The test will focus on latency-sensitive application scenarios and run under sustained high load to evaluate performance under real-world conditions.
During the test, users will directly interact with various on-chain gaming applications, including Stomp.gg, Smasher.fun, and Crossy Fluffle. On the backend, the team will continuously perform ETH transfers and v3 automated market maker swaps through the decentralized protocol Kumbaya.xyz until the total transaction volume reaches the target of 11 billion.
MegaETH team stated that the purpose of the stress test is to expose system issues as much as possible; any performance bottlenecks or anomalies will be identified and fixed during high-intensity operation. Their vision is to make MegaETH one of the highest transaction volume and most user-friendly networks among all EVM-compatible chains.
After the stress test concludes, MegaETH plans to launch its public mainnet soon, with multiple DeFi and consumer-grade applications going live on the first day, supported by its native stablecoin USDm. The network is positioned as a real-time Ethereum Layer 2, focusing on low latency and high throughput applications, relying on predictable sequencer costs, with USDm regarded as a key infrastructure.
Data shows that MegaETH was established in 2022, completed $20 million in seed funding, with investors including Dragonfly Capital, Vitalik Buterin, and Joseph Lubin, and has garnered significant attention in the Ethereum scaling race.
