🔥 MegaETH (Ethereum L2) achieves 47,000 TPS before the global stress test 🔥

💥 MegaETH, a Layer-2 of Ethereum, has just recorded a peak of ~47,000 transactions per second (TPS) during testing.

💥 The project will host a “global stress test” on January 22, 2026, before the official mainnet launch.

⭐️ Content of the stress test

✨ Open the network for users to interact with latency-sensitive applications (Web3 gaming, swap).

✨ The development team will continuously push load on the server side (transfer ETH, swap AMM v3).

✨ Actual operational goals:

- 15,000 – 35,000 stable TPS

- 11 billion transactions in 7 days

📣 Positioning MegaETH

✨ Is an Ethereum L2 prioritizing performance and speed, sacrificing some decentralization.

✨ The project self-positions as a “real-time blockchain,” with ambitions of >100,000 TPS.

📊 Data & comparison

✨ According to the analysis platform growthepie, MegaETH reached nearly 47,000 TPS in the test on January 16.

✨ Some blockchains focused on speed like Solana have high theoretical TPS, but actual TPS is significantly lower, according to data from Token Terminal.

🔴 Key points to monitor

✨ Performance with real users, not just benchmarks.

✨ Stability, transaction costs, and scalability after the stress test.

✨ The timing of fully opening the mainnet after January 22.

🛡 MegaETH is pushing the EVM performance limit to very high levels. The upcoming stress test will be an important test to confirm whether high TPS is accompanied by sustainable operational capability or not.
