Developers invited a small group of users to try applications that require low latency while the team tested the system’s limits in the background. The goal was to confirm that apps would still run smoothly, even when the network was under pressure.
Over seven days, MegaETH handled around 10.7 billion transactions. Most of this traffic came from Web3 games such as Smasher, Crossy Fluffle, and Stomp.gg.
One of the participants, Simon Dedic, founder and managing partner at Moonrock Capital, said his experience using the apps was problem-free. He stated:
No latency. No congestion. No degraded UX like you get on almost every other chain. Just apps that work, smoothly, in real time.
Dedic also said it processed more transactions in a few days than Ethereum did in almost 11 years.
