MegaETH to Launch Public Testnet on March 6, an Essential Step before its Mainnet, Aiming for 100,000 Transactions Per Second
MegaETH, a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, is preparing to deploy its public testnet on March 6. This milestone marks a strategic milestone before the official launch of its mainnet, with the goal of achieving unprecedented performance of 100,000 transactions per second.
A Crucial Test Phase Before the Mainnet
The testnet deployment will follow a structured schedule. From March 6 to 10, the focus will be on integrating applications and infrastructure teams, allowing developers to optimize their implementations. Starting from March 10, the network will welcome its first users.
An Architecture Optimized for Performance
MegaETH relies on an advanced architecture that includes specialized nodes, such as sequencers and provers, designed to maximize transaction efficiency. The testnet will provide developers with a computing power of 1.68 Ggas/sec and a validation time of 15 milliseconds per block in single-threaded processing.
A Solid Funding Supported by Major Players
The growth of MegaETH is based on substantial financial backing. In June 2024, the project raised $20 million in a seed funding round led by Dragonfly Capital, with notable participation from Vitalik Buterin. This funding was followed by an additional $10 million completed in minutes on the Echo platform, founded by the legendary Cobie.
In February 2025, MegaETH also secured 4,964 ETH ($13 million) through the sale of its NFT collection named ‘The Fluffle,’ demonstrating strong enthusiasm from the web3 community for the project.
A Key Stake for Ethereum’s Future
With high technical ambitions and solid funding, MegaETH positions itself as a key player in scaling Ethereum. The success of this testnet will be crucial in validating the promises of performance and adoption before its official launch.
