Information 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 put up on Monday, MegaETH mentioned it can 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 underneath 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 embody the MegaETH group pushing the chain to the restrict on the backend, whereas permitting customers to interact with Web3 gaming purposes stomp.gg, Smasher, and Crossy Fluffle.
“On the backend, the group will likely be pushing a mix of ETH transfers and v3 AMM swaps by @kumbaya_xyz till we hit 11B. Ultimately, MegaETH could have the most important tx rely in historical past throughout all EVM chains whereas customers frictionlessly play with the chain,” the group 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 have the ability to course of over 100,000 TPS.
Presently, the MegaETH mainnet is just open to a restricted variety of infrastructure builders and purposes. The stress take a look at will see a restricted portion of the mainnet opened as much as customers. Within the X put up, MegaETH mentioned the official launch will observe shortly after the stress take a look at is full.

MegaETH hits 47,000 TPS
Based on an X put up 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 an entire day. Excited to see this capability put to good use!,” growthepie mentioned.

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