Ethereum L2 MegaETH Prepares Massive 11 Billion Transaction Stress Test

TLDR

  • MegaETH will conduct a global stress test of its Ethereum Layer 2 mainnet starting Thursday, January 22, targeting 11 billion transactions over seven days.
  • The network reached speeds of up to 47,000 transactions per second during testing on January 16.
  • The stress test aims for sustained throughput between 15,000 and 35,000 TPS during the week-long period.
  • Users will test the network through gaming applications including stomp.gg, Smasher, and Crossy Fluffle while the backend processes ETH transfers and AMM swaps.
  • MegaETH plans to launch its public mainnet shortly after the stress test completes, with the network designed to eventually process over 100,000 TPS.

MegaETH announced Monday it will open its Ethereum Layer 2 mainnet for a global stress test starting Thursday, January 22. The test will run for seven days and target 11 billion total transactions.

The network aims to maintain sustained speeds of 15,000 to 35,000 transactions per second throughout the test period. Testing data from January 16 showed the network reached peak speeds of almost 47,000 TPS.

MegaETH currently operates a limited mainnet accessible only to select infrastructure builders and applications. The stress test will open a portion of the mainnet to public users for the first time.

During the test, users will interact with three Web3 gaming applications. These include stomp.gg, Smasher, and Crossy Fluffle. The games will run while the network processes transactions at high volume.

On the backend, the MegaETH team will push a mix of ETH transfers and v3 automated market maker swaps through the DEX Kumbaya.xyz. This process will continue until the network reaches 11 billion transactions.

Testing Network Performance

The team stated the stress test must be “uncomfortable” to properly identify issues. Any problems that surface during testing will be fixed before the public launch.

According to Ethereum analytics platform growthepie, MegaETH processed more transactions in one second during testing than some chains handle in an entire day. The platform noted this performance during the January 16 test that hit 47,000 TPS.

MegaETH positions itself as an Ethereum-secured Layer 2 built for low-latency, high-throughput applications. The network relies on stable sequencer costs managed through its native stablecoin USDm.

For comparison, Solana has a theoretical maximum of 65,000 TPS. Real-world performance data from Token Terminal shows Solana processes around 3,100 TPS in practice.

Mainnet Launch Timeline

MegaETH plans to launch its public mainnet shortly after the stress test completes. The launch will include day-one applications in DeFi and consumer apps powered by USDm.

The foundation was established in 2022. MegaETH raised $20 million in seed funding from investors including Dragonfly Capital, Vitalik Buterin, and Joseph Lubin.

The stress test represents a critical step before opening the network to all users. The team expects to process the largest transaction count in history across all EVM chains by the end of the seven-day period.
