MegaETH announces that the mainnet will officially launch on January 22nd, followed by a one-week global stress test aimed at verifying a transaction processing capacity of 11 billion transactions, with TPS reaching 15,000 to 35,000. During the stress test, multiple on-chain applications will be launched, followed by the opening of USDM-related ecosystem applications, including DeFi protocols and consumer scenarios.

【BitPush】MegaETH announces the mainnet schedule. The mainnet will officially launch on January 22, with an initial one-week global stress testing phase. This test is ambitious — aiming to verify the capacity to handle 11 billion transactions, with TPS targets set between 15,000 and 35,000.

During the stress test, multiple on-chain applications will be launched simultaneously to participate in interactions, using real-world scenarios to test whether the system can maintain stability under full load. Afterward, the mainnet will open for operation, with the first batch of ecological applications mainly focusing on USDM, including DeFi protocols and consumer scenario applications. From infrastructure to application deployment, the pace remains quite tight.

35,000 TPS sounds impressive, but if it can stabilize at 20,000 during actual operation, that's already a win. The historical experience is right here. --- 110 million transactions? First, see if the classic "data water injection" phenomenon occurs during the stress test. --- USDM ecosystem is starting to take shape. This round mainly depends on how much TVL the first batch of applications can accumulate. There should be plenty of arbitrage opportunities. --- In the first week of mainnet launch, gas fees will definitely skyrocket. Prepare addresses in advance to take advantage of the opportunities. --- Honestly, rushing in during this stress testing period is high risk. Wait until the mainnet stabilizes to see if the APY from liquidity mining is worth it. --- The rhythm is tight and exciting, but what about the hidden smart contract risks between infrastructure and application deployment? Have the audit reports been released? --- It's another moment of "either become the next Arbitrum or the next failure case" [dog head]. --- Wait, should we dip into USDM-related ecosystem tokens during this period? There will definitely be fluctuations during the stress test.

35,000 TPS? Sounds pretty scary, but actually running it is a whole different story.

35,000 TPS sounds impressive, but history has never lacked such promises. The key is whether it can survive that full-load week. --- Another mainnet launch, another stress test, the cycle is repeating. Let’s wait until it’s truly operational. --- 1.1 billion transactions sound intimidating, but execution is the real survival rule. First, survive this week before bragging. --- Using USDM as a starting point, to be clear, it still relies on stablecoins. An innovative shell with a solid core. --- A tight schedule doesn’t mean survival; it more resembles rushing to meet a deadline. I’ve heard this kind of talk too many times during market lows. --- Full-load operation can maintain stability... I think I’ve seen this "if" sentence structure somewhere before. --- In the early stage, a week of full stress testing; what about later? Real scenarios will be even more brutal. --- The higher the TPS number, the more dramatic the collapse. It’s not pessimism, just that I’ve experienced more.

35,000 TPS? Laughing and then crying. If it really gets running, the wallets of us retail investors might see withdrawal speeds soaring to six figures. But speaking of which, the number of 11 billion transactions sounds like a machine designed specifically for us to cut losses. They really dare to stress test it, but I'm just worried that our losses are running at full capacity. USDM ecosystem applications? First, take care of your own seed, everyone. The mainnet launch is like opening a sale.

35,000 TPS? That number sounds unbelievable. Only if it can really run, then I’ll be convinced. 1.1 billion transactions. Why does the stress test still take a week? Probably because they’re throwing money at it. The USDM ecosystem is up, but it’s not really useful. It depends on whether real users will buy into it. The mainnet launch is always full of hype. When the time comes, it’ll be laggy and slow. I’m watching. Tight schedule? It’s just rushing against time. This increases the risk of problems.

35,000 TPS? Sounds impressive, but can it really stay stable? --- 110 billion transactions, such a hardcore stress test, feels like they're just throwing a tantrum. --- The mainnet is coming so quickly? I'm still waiting for the team not to mess up. --- USDM ecosystem is expanding so fast, let's see if it's stable first. --- This pace means they're about to compete with other L2 giants. --- They dared to launch the mainnet after just a week of stress testing. I feel nervous just watching them. --- From 15,000 to 35,000 TPS, that's a big difference. How much can it actually handle in the end? --- For real-world testing, the key still depends on whether the ecosystem apps are up to the task. --- Focusing mainly on USDM? It seems the stablecoin ecosystem is about to get competitive again. --- Launched on January 22nd, projects with such precise scheduling are rare.

1.1 billion transactions? That number sounds like bragging, but I like this kind of ambition. If 35000 TPS can truly be stabilized, then it is indeed a potential new star, but let's wait for the test results first. Another wheel claiming to overthrow Ethereum, everyone should cherish and watch. The higher the TPS number, the more anxious I feel, it seems like a paper prosperity. The USDM ecosystem's move is decent, at least it's not vaporware, giving some reason to get on board. First observe the stress test performance over a week; only consider going all-in if it truly stabilizes. This kind of schedule usually gets delayed, but if it really launches on 1月22日... then I need to reevaluate this project.

35,000 TPS? That number sounds impressive, but whether it can actually be achieved depends on real-world performance.

35,000 TPS sounds pretty impressive, but how much it can actually handle is another matter... Let's see the stress test reveal the truth.
