The MegaETH Labs team explained that the testnet, launching March 6, will run through March 10, with dedicated onboarding for developers and infrastructure teams starting immediately. User onboarding begins March 10, when testnet ETH will be distributed directly to registered wallets to streamline access. The phased rollout aims to give builders time to optimize deployments on what MegaETH calls the first “real-time blockchain,” designed to process transactions in milliseconds.

MegaETH targets Ethereum’s scalability challenges with block times as low as 10 milliseconds and throughput exceeding 100,000 transactions per second (TPS). Its architecture uses specialized nodes—sequencers for transaction ordering, provers for validation, and replicas for decentralized verification—to balance speed and decentralization. The platform is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling seamless migration of existing smart contracts.

Builders on the testnet will initially access 1.68 gigagas per second and 15-millisecond effective block times, with scalability upgrades planned. Developers are encouraged to join the MegaForge program to explore applications in high-frequency trading, real-time gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Users can register wallets via MegaETH’s Discord ahead of the March 10 onboarding. The team will host an AMA to clarify the process, aiming to reduce strain on public faucets by pre-distributing testnet ETH.

Backed by Dragonfly Capital and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, MegaETH aims to bridge blockchain and traditional cloud computing by achieving Web2-like responsiveness. Since its 2024 development launch, it has positioned itself as a solution for latency-sensitive decentralized apps.

The testnet marks a critical step toward MegaETH’s goal of redefining scalability, combining sub-cent transaction fees with enterprise-grade performance. If successful, it could address long-standing bottlenecks in Ethereum’s ecosystem while attracting developers to its high-speed infrastructure.
