MegaETH is an L2 built for real-time performance. LI.FI is now powering Day 1 for Frontier Mainnet!

Most L2s optimise for cost. MegaETH optimises for speed with 10ms block times and 100,000 TPS. During stress testing. MegaETH is poising itself to become the network for consumers. For example, MegaETH’s performance has been earmarked at 70x the throughput of Base, currently the busiest consumer EVM chain.

Why This Matters

There's a common assumption that blockchain performance is "good enough" now. MegaETH's thesis is the opposite: we're nowhere close.

Some competing major chains are seeing 10,000 TPS and they’re only managing trades. Now stack launchpads, DeFi, liquidations, games, consumer apps on top of that, and you start to see the gap. Current chains operate in three to four figures of TPS, global consumer demand needs at least six to seven figures.

Over time, this performance will get commoditised, and every chain will eventually catch up. But live systems iterate slowly. Existing chains have spent two years trying to scale and still sit at under 1,000 TPS. You can't just turn a dial to ‘upgrade’ the chain. There are nodes to coordinate, state growth to manage, politics to navigate. Your starting point dictates everything.

MegaETH's starting point is with consumers in mind.

How It Works

The core innovation is a new database structure, mathematically equivalent to the Merkle Patricia tree but without its performance bottlenecks. This is what enables 10ms block times.

Beyond that, MegaETH leans into what makes L2s structurally different: a single sequencer handles ordering and execution (no consensus overhead), while validation is distributed across lightweight prover and replica nodes. The sequencer holds the entire chain state in RAM, eliminating I/O bottlenecks. Provers validate asynchronously using stateless verification, meaning that they don't need to keep pace in real-time.

Block production is centralised for performance. Block validation stays decentralised and accessible.

What Gets Built Here

MegaETH is targeting two verticals:

Consumer apps. Games where every action is technically a transaction. Social apps that feel native. Anything requiring instant feedback loops. Four games went live during the stress test — playable at 25,000+ TPS with cheap fees and instant responses. This hasn't existed on EVM before.

Trading. The chain's latency profile makes it a natural venue for high-frequency activity where perps, spot, prediction markets, and eventually tokenised assets like stocks and commodities can exit alongside consumer apps.

Builders should feel like MegaETH is their AWS that they can rely on. Developers don't want to think about infrastructure; they want it to work. 

What this Integration Enables

• Day 1 access: Users can bridge into MegaETH from any LI.FI-supported chain at mainnet launch.

• Optimised onboarding: LI.FI surfaces the best path into MegaETH across all liquidity sources, meaning that users and projects on MegaETH don’t need to think about how to onboard their assets - they just can.

• Foundation for ecosystem growth: As MegaETH's DeFi ecosystem develops, LI.FI provides the cross-chain rails for capital to flow in.

MegaETH is expanding what's buildable on-chain. LI.FI ensures users can access it from wherever they are.
