Yesterday, MegaETH hosted its 12th AMA. Over 200 people tuned in to hear @hotpot_dao and @0xBreadguy share the latest updates on MegaMafia 2.0, mainnet progress, Fluffle wave 2 and more. They also took the time to answer your questions. Here's everything you might have missed: 1/ Updates on MegaMafia 2.0 : Last month, MegaMafia 2.0 held its first offsite in Copenhagen, marking the first time the MegaETH team spent extended time with the crew, bonding, working closely, and iterating on apps together. Many have asked about the rollout plan for MegaMafia 2.0. From 1.0, the team learned that pushing too hard, too early was a mistake. These are organic teams on their own timelines, and MegaETH had been trying to impose a schedule instead of letting things evolve naturally. This time, there is no rush. Some teams are still exploring and defining their goals, while others have found quick traction and are iterating rapidly. A few of these projects are already gaining attention on CT. Check the MegaMafia Twitter account to see which projects MegaETH is officially showcasing and endorsing as part of MegaMafia 2. 2/ Mainnet progress : MegaETH has finished its latest upgrade and is now deep in the auditing phase. The team is also focusing on building mainnet infrastructure: bridges, on/off-ramps, block explorers, and indexers. Mainnet is coming soon, but the team asks for patience. They are prioritizing careful execution over rushed timelines to avoid delays and disappointment. September is set to be a major month, with technical showcases demonstrating how advanced the architecture of MegaETH is. Lei recently spoke at Stanford about the team’s custom database structure, and just yesterday Yilong confirmed the complete SALT database repo is officially in audit, a major milestone. An article breaking down SALT in simple terms will be published early next week, followed by a full white paper in September, which will first be submitted to academic outlets before being shared publicly. 3/ Some updates on MegaMafia 1.0 apps : Bread and Bro Bing asked the chat what was your favorite product, not vibe. The chat answered with projects like Noise, Showdown, Euphoria, GTE, WCM, Avon. It is important to stay intellectually honest. When something is called ‘good,’ does it truly unlock a new user experience, capital efficiency, or asset type? Or is it just a lazy assessment? On Noise, traders are up quadrillions in profits while they are overhauling the liquidation engine and revamping their entire stack. Noise stands out for rapid iteration, trend-driven trading, a new asset class, smooth UI/UX, and real-time feedback. On Euphoria, it's a unique product that cannot run on other chains. It is a binary options platform built on deep financial engineering (liquidity modeling, market-making mechanics) for a seamless experience. V2 is coming soon with a full UI redesign, new visuals, and advanced features. On WCM, the team behind it is a technical powerhouse, they have modified the EVM compiler and built custom base-level code to enable a cross-margin account system for all trading revenue. Their depth of trading innovation surpasses most DEXes. 4/ Other projects still in the works ? MegaETH has seen a surge of builders in the past month both from other ecosystems and net-new devs excited by MegaETH's potential. Several exciting apps are on the way, including a new primitive from a team of two ex-BlackRock builders. Serious traders are drawn to MegaETH for its near real-time pricing, and some oracle providers are even creating entirely new primitives for MegaETH, enabling unmatched arbitrage across ecosystems. Imagine teams pulling liquidity from other chains, aggregating it, and executing on MegaETH, an enormous edge for early adopters. Many high-profile builders, not yet visible on testnet, are already committed to launching here on day one or very early. A lot is happening behind the scenes, and much of this momentum hasn’t been announced publicly yet. 5/ On GTE drama : There was a lot of chatter on Twitter about this. MegaETH team made the decision to remove GTE from the MegaMafia cohort. That is the short version. What the team really wants to emphasize is that MegaETH is permissionless and open. People can build whatever they want. They had to remove GTE for several reasons, but they still support them if they continue to build on MegaETH. What the team learned from this experience is that MegaMafia apps and MegaETH are very symbiotic with the MegaETH community. In the future, anyone not supporting MegaETH or MEGA token holders will not be considered part of MegaETH. That is very clear. There has to be real value accrual to MegaETH. Anything that does not contribute requires careful reassessment. The team is still on good terms with GTE, they see them often in NY and support what they are building. 6/ What is MegaETH vision ? MegaETH vision is simple. They see MegaETH ecosystem like a nation-state, the biggest, boldest, most successful, most wealth-creating ecosystem in all of crypto and beyond. They are not even limiting themselves to crypto. They want MegaETH to be a value black hole. Everything they do is oriented toward growth and symbiotic value creation. If a project or initiative does not align with that goal, either directionally or symbiotically with the ecosystem, they will make that explicit. That is what happened with GTE 7/ On Monad : Bread and Bro Bing got a Monad card. They think Monad is doing a great job. Bro Bing was early investor in Monad and she is still a big supporter of their ecosystem. In fact, the founder of what she thinks is the best protocol on Monad is someone she personally helped early on. Back when she was at ConsenSys, she invested in his protocol and even helped him leave his previous company. People assume there is drama or fighting between the two projects, but that is not true at all. MegaETH team deeply respects founders and builders who create net-new, positive technology. What the team does not respect ,and they will not hesitate to call out, are copy-paste founders who just replicate ideas without any real innovation. 7/ On the FUD following Cap mainnet launch : Cap just went live, which is great news. There has been some confusion and FUD about its mainnet launch, with some calling it “bearish.” The reality is Cap is a stablecoin built on EigenLayer, using AVS to generate yield from multiple sources while avoiding directional market exposure. Because of this design, deploying on Mainnet was necessary. Cap will still exist on MegaETH, and some apps will integrate it directly. This is not about sentiment, it is purely a technical decision driven by Cap's structure and yield mechanics. 8/ MegaETH expansion to TikTok and Reddit : The team wants MegaETH apps to reach the masses, so they are expanding into new channels like Reddit or TikTok. The goal behind these moves is clear: to break out from the CT bubble. For instance, MegaETH has started their own subreddit and will host AMAs there and in larger crypto communities. On TikTok, Bro Bing posts things like founder journeys, cultural insights, and networking tips. MegaETH has always been on the vanguard, and that mindset guides nearly every decision. More initiatives are coming in the same spirit. 9/ On the second batch of Fluffles : Fluffles was the NFT that MegaETH sold for 1 ETH each about 6 months ago, giving holders a portion of the network. It was a clear way to ensure “skin in the game” and let you share in the upside. The next 5,000 NFTs will be slightly different. Early plans from the initial drop are being adjusted to keep things net-new and innovative. The structure may change, but the intention remains the same. The team cannot reveal details yet, but explicit updates will come when it drops. It is coming. Updates will be shared soon. 10/ On the latest Kaito update : The team knows the latest leaderboard update was discouraging for some, with people nerfed or moved around. The team dug into how the Kaito algorithm works and got a community-curated list to help. Shoutout to Max, Alex, and Moonshot for flagging community members who weren’t properly represented. The team reviewed the flags and made sure those accounts are on the correct leaderboard, not just the sub-leaderboard. The leaderboard has been updated, and the team will keep monitoring it. If something seems off, let them know so everyone is represented correctly.

MegaETH Testnet is now open to all. Try real-time apps here: testnet.megaeth.com.

Euphoria v2 looking good here. The sound design work makes it even more addictive than before. Need MegaETH mainnet asap so I can get my hands on it.

Everything about The Fluffle: The Fluffle is MegaETH's official NFT collection, designed to give the community meaningful skin in the game. There will be 10,000 NFTs, collectively representing at least 5% of the MegaETH network. Here is all the key information you should know: 1/ What is The Fluffle? The Fluffle is MegaETH's official NFT collection, designed for deep customization. Users can unlock wearables to personalize their bunnies. Each NFT will progress through multiple stages, evolving based on user activity. The higher the stage, the greater the rewards. Each NFT will belong to one of 16 cabals, such as the Outlaw, the Executor, the Soldier, the Sage, the Witch, the Playboy, etc. 2/ MegaETH's goal: The goal of MegaETH is to create a more sustainable and fair distribution model. A simple points program tied to an airdrop often leads to perverse incentives encouraging inauthentic behavior and “farming.” Additionally, the current trend of low float, high FDV often results in users being treated as exit liquidity. 3/ What is the valuation? The mint price is set at 1 ETH per NFT. The 10,000 NFTs represent at least 5% of the total token supply (at a $550M FDV), with 50% unlocked at TGE and the remaining 50% distributed linearly over six months. Basically, it works a lot like an ICO. 4/ How to get an allocation? ▪︎ Retroactive phase (50%): It is allocated to individuals who have been active participants in the industry, early and impactful supporters of the MegaETH community, and various strategic partners. Some of these NFTs will be available as free mints. You can already check your eligibility on the MegaETH's website. The methodology will be shared shortly. ▪︎ Proactive phase: (50%): It will be provided in the coming months to those who continue to drive meaningful social and on-chain engagement for MegaETH. Each MegaMafia team will receive a portion of the supply to distribute within their respective communities, collectively making up the majority of the second phase. A small portion of this allocation will be reserved for users based on social media analysis (Kaito?). When? No date determined yet for the proactive phase. 5/ Minting details: Where? On Ethereum Mainnet. Price? 1 ETH per NFT. The initial, retroactive tranche will be split into two minting window: ▪︎ Day 1: Guaranteed/Free Mints on February 11, 2025 at 1:00 PM UTC. ▪︎ Day 2: First Come First Serve on February 12, 2025 at 1:00 PM UTC. There will be an explicit prompt informing you if you got free/guaranteed day 1 spot. If you see no text you can assume it is FCFS. There are a total of 80,000 WL addresses for the retroactive phase. The NFTs are soul-bound, with a per-wallet max of 1. The MegaETH team will receive no mints.

There are 2 types of schools in crypto: decentralization purists and performance-focused individuals. Which school does MegaETH belong to? Listen to Enzo, co-founder of GTE, answer this question in the latest episode of the Edge Podcast:

MegaETH Public Testnet is now live for developers. RPC: carrot.megaeth.com/rpc (Poster created by @degenvampir)

MegaETH's new website is live! Can you find a better website than MegaETH's? I doubt it. Rose has worked her magic once again.

Big week next week. Only 7 days left until the MegaETH public testnet. Get some rest.

In the last 24 hours, MegaETH ranked second in mindshare on the pre-TGE leaderboard. Time to accelerate.

Everyone is talking about CLOBs. Here is what CLOBs on MegaETH look like:

Today, MegaETH hosted its 11th AMA with @Showdown_TCG Over 120 people joined to hear @StanCifka and @OndrejStrasky discuss Showdown, explain why they chose blockchain, and showcase some gameplay. They also answered all your questions. Here’s everything you might have missed: Summary: A. MegaETH Update B. 10 Questions About Showdown A. MegaETH Update: ▪︎ On Crossy Fluffle: Last week, MegaETH launched Crossy Fluffle. The team has been working on it since the launch of the NFT collection. The goal is to gamify the real-time experience to really show what real time feels like on MegaETH. ▪︎ On Twitter drama: You have probably seen MegaETH caught up in a few Twitter debates and drama. It’s never intentional. MegaETH is a small team, and sometimes they push back a little too hard before realizing that the best way to showcase what they are building is not by arguing but by building. ▪︎ On MegaMafia 2.0: MegaETH also launched the new version of its builder program with MegaMafia 2.0. The space is oversaturated with infra, and MegaETH decided to double down on what really matters namely apps. There will be offsites in Copenhagen, Tokyo, and New York. If you're a builder, feel free to apply. ▪︎ On Fluffle holders: The MegaETH team is working hard to give the community priority access within the app ecosystem. Getting a Noise code is tough, even some team members don’t have one. But for other apps, like with the recent launch of Valhalla, the team does its best to make sure you are first in line. B. 10 Questions About Showdown: 1/ What are Ondrej and Stanislav’s backgrounds? ▪︎ For Ondrej : He started playing Magic: The Gathering professionally when he was 19. Magic is kind of the grandfather of all trading card games. It has been around for over 30 years and is still growing. He played professionally for quite a while. He wouldn’t say he was the best player, but he was definitely one of the best for a time. He never reached the number one ranking like Stanislav did. Still, he won a Pro Tour, which is like winning the US Open in tennis, a huge achievement though not the same as being ranked first overall. ▪︎ For Stanislav : He started with chess, went pro in poker until the scene eventually collapsed. Then he switched to Magic and later became a top Hearthstone player. In 2020, he started trading, which introduced him to crypto. He felt the apps were bad, but the infrastructure was amazing. So he thought about building a game. He pitched the idea to Ondrej and later brought in another friend. The vision was to bring back high-stakes, competitive games, especially inspired by poker’s golden era. 2/ What is Showdown? Showdown has elements of trading card games and poker. It will be easy to learn with short games lasting between 7–10 minutes, and it will be mobile-friendly. The game will launch next year. The core gameplay is pretty set, and now the team is focusing on refining visuals. Deck building will be added soon. Currently, there are 4 pre-built decks with about 100 cards total in the game. There is only 100 cards now but picking 25 out of them gives you trillions of combinations. Even if you spent your whole life on it, you’d never try them all. At the moment, no broken combos have been found but unlike standard poker, where the rules and odds are fixed, here, the meta shifts every week. That’s what the team love: it’s alive. They are planning to release a new set of cards every 3 or 4 months. The gameplay is 1v1, based on poker, with 2 private cards per player and 5 shared cards. Each card has an effect and a chip value. Playing cards adds chips to the pot, and the goal is to win chips and reach 100. You can modify your hand like replacing cards or duplicating strong ones. There are also mechanics like Backfire (a 50% chance of triggering an effect) and colored cards for different game phases. You can check or play each turn. If both players check, the game progresses to the next stage. There’s also a “double” option instead of folding. If both players double, the final two cards are revealed, and the pot doubles. The game is dynamic compared to poker, which can be slow if you get bad hands. In poker, you might fold 90% of the time, that’s why online players run 17 games at once. In Showdown, we wanted constant action. Even if you start with a bad hand, you can play cards to improve it. A lot of the time, the game plays out where one player gets ahead, then the other drops a card that completely swings the momentum, and it flips back. Then player one plays something huge, and it swings again. In their experience, more often than not, it comes down to the last hand. That’s something we really like unlike a lot of traditional trading card games. 3/ When does the game go to showdown? It’s basically the final stage, like in poker. Once both players check on the river, hands are revealed and the winner takes the pot. They originally had separate turn and river stages, and even betting phases, but Ondrej streamlined everything. He literally said, “Just cancel the betting and put the logic into the card effects.” Huge improvement. Simple and fun. 4/ What’s the current stage of Showdown? Showdown is currently in a closed alpha. The team is really proud of the game's current state and stability. Alpha games are usually buggy, but Showdown has been running pretty smoothly. As for the visuals, they still need polish, but the core is solid. That’s why this is a closed alpha. Showdown needs real feedback from a few hundred testers and the team is iterating quickly. They’re releasing updates regularly for instance, sounds are coming, along with a deck builder, direct challenges, and eventually a tournament system. Regarding opening up deck-building, the team is a bit concerned about balance. But that’s exactly why they’re doing this closed alpha: they want smart players to try and break the game before launch so they can fix it. The co-founders’ backgrounds also help. They’ve spent years on the player side, hunting for overpowered combos. Now, on the developer side, they bring that same instinct and can spot problems early. Showdown isn’t built just for hardcore players, they want casual folks too. It’s a competitive game, but it’s meant to be fun at every level. 5/ If the game’s meant to make poker “great again,” why keep it purely digital? Doesn’t poker and TCGs get their magic from in-person play? It’s a fair point. They’ve talked about this a lot. They personally think the digital version should be their main focus. It’s so much easier to manage the complexity of the card interactions. Stuff that’s super easy to automate online would be a nightmare to track manually in real life. But the social aspect of IRL play? That’s unbeatable. So eventually, they might release a physical version probably more suited for the multiplayer variant. They are building a 6-player mode, and that would be amazing in person. 6/ Do you think the audience for this would be poker players, TCG players, both, or neither? Their dream is to bring high-stakes poker back. If you look at the history, when he was 18, it was 2005 or 2006, and everyone was playing online for huge amounts of money. It was normal for people to bring millions of dollars to the table. But why isn’t that happening today? First, it got banned in many countries. If you're in the US or France, you can’t battle against someone from the US. Second, trust issues arose. Back in 2011, Full Tilt had their FTX moment, where they just stole everyone’s money, and it took forever to get access to it. Another issue is bots. Ten years ago, they became better than the best players. By 2017, heads-up bots were beating professional players. If you were playing online against someone, you’d often be facing a bot. And while the industry is fighting against that, there’s really not much you can do if a bot’s using advanced algorithms. That’s why they introduced action cards. It’s about bringing back the human element, the clash of egos between two smart individuals who want to bet it all. There’s definitely demand for that type of environment, and that’s the core of why they created Showdown. It’s to overcome all these obstacles and provide a great experience for people who want to test their smarts and egos against each other. 7/ You have already mentioned how the game’s dynamics can flip throughout a match, and this is similar to a TCG in that way. Do you think that aspect would give people more or less confidence to bet high-stakes? That’s a good point. I think poker and TCGs share some core aspects when it comes to betting money. In games like Omaha or Triple Draw, people are still putting down significant money. So, they do feel like, at the core, it’s in the DNA of the game that people will want to play for high stakes. There’s also the deck-building element to consider. When they played professional poker, they would constantly discuss their strategies: what kind of hand to play, when to push, when to fold, etc. In Showdown, players will discuss which cards to play, and that adds an additional layer to the strategy. So, in that sense, they think this game could be perfect for high-stakes environments. But, as with any game, it might attract a diverse player base. You could have some people just enjoying the casual aspects, playing for low or no money, and climbing the ladder, collecting cards. And there will be players who are ready to gamble for millions. They think the game has two versions: one for casual players and one for high-stakes players. 8/ Speaking of deck building, how will that work in Showdown? Will players choose from a fixed pool of cards, or will there be a pack-purchase mechanic similar to games like Magic? They plan to have packs. They want to do it a little differently than traditional card games. They will have two versions of the cards: regular cards and NFT versions. The regular cards will be available to all players for free, but the NFT cards will be the collectible, cooler versions. Think of them as skins in games like League of Legends or Counterstrike. They’re visually different but don’t change the gameplay. They want everyone to be able to play, even without investing money. The goal is to avoid the pitfalls of other crypto games like Axie, where you had to spend a lot upfront, and then the better players just kept winning because their cards were more expensive. That’s not the experience they want to create. They want a fair playing field for everyone, regardless of whether they’re spending money or not. 9/ You mentioned blockchain elements in the game, which offer a few key benefits, like disintermediation and being permissionless. Can you talk a little more about those? One of the main advantages of using blockchain is that it’s open and permissionless. This solves a lot of the regulatory issues. For example, in the past, if you were in the US, you couldn’t play against someone from France because of local laws. But with blockchain, they avoid those restrictions. It allows everyone to play together, no matter where they are, which is huge for global access. The other component are NFTs for people to buy and verify ownership of in-game assets, skins, etc. We have all been that person who spends a lot on skins in games like he remembers playing Apex Legends on Xbox. He spent a couple of hundred bucks on things like season passes and skins, and then, in the end, he got zero of that back. It’s just gone forever, and once he stop playing, it’s locked in that game. There will be smart contracts for tournaments. If you join a tournament, you'll have guaranteed prizes through smart contracts. There will also be rewards for seasonal leaderboards and such. With MegaETH extremely low latency and high throughput, Showdown can build things like prediction markets on who's going to win the tournament, who’s going to win the game, who’s going to take the lead, etc. The great part is, as the game grows, anyone can refer to the results on the blockchain and build whatever they want on top of that. It’s a really exciting concept, and it opens up a lot of opportunities for the community. 10/ How do you plan to collaborate with Twitch streamers to promote the game, and what role do you see them playing in the game's growth, especially in terms of competitive eSports? On the topic of partnerships, they are definitely looking to partner with Twitch streamers. Both co-founders used to stream a lot. They know many of the big streamers in those communities, so they want to work with them and provide referral links to make it easy for viewers to dive into the game. The goal is to make it seamless for people to play, with no download requirements and simple access. In terms of the competitive scene, they definitely want the game to be an eSport. Both founders are competitive by nature, and they know many players will want that level of competition. That’s why they are working on regular seasons with awards, and they aim to create the most competitive card game out there. Since this game is tied to poker, one of the most competitive games around, it makes sense to bring that same level of excitement into the card game world. As for the game’s structure, they are currently focused on the heads-up version, but in the future, they plan to expand into multiplayer modes. The current version is just the beginning.

You're an OG if you found MegaETH through this AD. Are you one of them?

GTE has just announced a $15 million Series A funding round, led by Paradigm, to accelerate the growth of the Global Token Exchange. Earlier this year, GTE raised $10M across preseed, seed, and community rounds: $1.5M, $7M, and $2.5M respectively, with the latter on Echo.

The ticker is still ETH.

Our mission is clear: vote for MegaETH. I have done my part, now it's your turn.

Earlier today, MegaETH hosted its 6th AMA with @valhallaperps. Over 200 people tuned in to hear from Tiago (@0xverif), the founder of Valhalla, and MegaETH co-founder Bro Bing (@hotpot_dao). They were there to answer all your questions about Valhalla. Here is what they shared: Summary: A. MegaETH Update B. Presentation of Tiago C. 10 Community Questions A. MegaETH Update First, the MegaMind Quiz has been relaunched today for a second round for 5000 tests. Second, many people have asked how to contribute. MegaETH is seeking educational, entertaining, and artistic content related to MegaETH concepts like node specialization or the World Computer. The goal is to educate the CT about MegaETH and its vision. For inspiration, you can read about the MegaETH whitepaper and the World Computer paper. B. Presentation of Tiago Tiago’s first interactions with crypto were in 2012/2013, mostly through friends and engaging in funny activities on the Internet. It was during this time that he began learning about Bitcoin. His area of study was software engineering, with a particular focus on formal verification. His studies were very theoretical, highly academic, and, in his words, quite boring. He then founded Three Sigma (@threesigmaxyz), a successful company that conducts audits, risk modeling, collaborates with various L1s, and publishes academic research and cryptographic papers. Tiago began trading in 2017/2018 and became heavily involved in 2020. He is an active participant in crypto and is in the trenches. He has always wanted to build an exchange that people would genuinely enjoy using, which is why he founded Valhalla. You may have seen it in their recent tweet reveal, but Valhalla is the first fully on-chain and composable perpetuals DEX, leveraging MegaETH's high throughput and extremely low latency. Finally, they also recently announced their $1.5M pre-seed raise. C. 10 Community Questions 1/ Can you tell us more about the new primitives mentioned in the reveal tweet? Valhalla enables protocol-level composability because the smart contracts are managing positions, handling risk management, and overseeing the clearing house. These contracts become composable and can be automatically called via other smart contracts. For example, consider the concept of atomic funding rates. Imagine there is an exotic asset that everyone is trying to long, and the funding rates are extremely high. To farm these funding rates, you could buy the token in spot and then short the same quantity on a perpetual. Without atomic composability, executing this strategy could expose you to different risks. You might be too slow to set up the strategy, or the order may fail, leading to a situation where you lose money. With Valhalla, you can execute these strategies seamlessly using flash loans. Either everything executes successfully, or nothing does, completely eliminating the associated risks. Another innovative primitive is composability at the asset level. This enables the use of yield-bearing stablecoins like capUSD from @CapLabs_. As a result, you can trade perpetuals while simultaneously earning yields on your stablecoins in collateral. This is only possible because Valhalla operates entirely on-chain. Many projects within the MegaMafia ecosystem and beyond are already building on top of Valhalla. If you have ideas, feel free to reach out to Tiago. 2/ What challenges have you overcome through your own innovations or by building on MegaETH? Everyone is aware that Valhalla is still in its early stages. Many decisions regarding the finer details are yet to be made. The key innovation lies in how Valhalla plan to implement the entire infrastructure on-chain. MegaETH’s high-performance infrastructure and clear ecosystem-building strategy make this level of composability and innovation achievable. MegaETH is what make Valhalla’s vision possible. 3/ Hyperliquid is very popular now. How can Valhalla compete with Hyperliquid in terms of tech, UX, community, and other aspects? ▪︎ On composability: Hyperliquid operates across different environments, such as HyperEVM, perpetuals, and spot trading, requiring additional steps to bridge funds, which causes a loss of smart contract composability. As a result, Hyperliquid's level of composability remains limited. ▪︎ On UX: Hyperliquid's L1 consensus algorithm introduces latency due to validators being spread across the world and needing to coordinate to reach consensus. As Hyperliquid moves toward greater decentralization, this latency will increase, leading to a decrease in performance. In contrast, Valhalla is built on MegaETH, which eliminates this bottleneck by decoupling execution from consensus. MegaETH's extremely low latency is only possible as an L2. ▪︎ On Community: Valhalla has much to learn from Hyperliquid in terms of community building. Valhalla aims to create a strong community by considering all initiatives and feedbacks to develop the best possible product. 4/ Will Valhalla and GTE be working together? Can you explain the differences and how they each have their respective place in the MegaETH ecosystem? GTE focuses on spot assets, while Valhalla is designed for perpetuals. Despite this difference, the two projects are building synergies. For example, Valhalla focuses on permissionless markets. When a token has sufficient volume and liquidity on GTE, Valhalla allows for quick asset listings and enables permissionless trading. 5/ Will Valhalla run its own MMs strategies? Valhalla will not have its own market makers (MMs). Instead, it will collaborate with professional MMs, new MMs entering the space, and skilled traders. The goal is to deliver a CEX-like experience with fast execution and ample liquidity. Having active traders and MMs is crucial for success. In the seed round, Valhalla secured a strong lineup of MMs and LPs to ensure initial liquidity and minimize slippage. This is why a pre-seed round involving only Echo round participants was not feasible. Without sufficient liquidity, the platform would face challenges, and no one would want to use the product. 6/ What will be the main collateral stablecoins? Which stablecoins do you prefer? Manifest your preferences to Tiago. USDC and capUSD are likely to be the primary assets. Exotic collateral could be an option, but only in smaller amounts to ensure that safety remains the priority. 7/ Is there a plan to integrate Valhalla with tools like TradingView, or will similar analytical tools be available directly on the exchange? There will be a TradingView integration on the frontend with an advanced mode. Currently, there are no plans for a mobile app. The UX of using wallets on mobile is not ideal, and developing an app would require significant effort for app store approvals. It’s not a priority at the moment, but it’s definitely something to consider for the future. 8/ How do you lower the spread and what do you think about liquidity provision? Valhalla has strategies in place like the pre-seed round to onboard MMs and ensure liquidity from day one. Vaults will also allow them to onboard MMs at launch, acting as decentralized market makers. Although these vaults may not be professional MMs, anyone can deposit into a vault to participate and enjoy the same benefits. The system will feature a Central Limit Order Book (CLOB), similar to TradFi, to manage and match the liquidity you inject. 9/ How are the liquidations going to be handled in Valhalla? Are you using an oracle? Or some average between exchanges? Valhalla will have both partially liquidated and fully liquidated positions. There are no specific MMs contracted for these operations. Anyone can participate in liquidations as they wish. Vaults will also play a role in the liquidation process. Valhalla is also considering different approaches for oracles and their potential failures. Valhalla will use Oracles A, B, and C, and in case of issues, they will manually fetch the price on-chain. Initially, they will implement an off-chain model as MegaETH is a new ecosystem, but they have plans to gradually move more processes on-chain over time. 10/ How to keeps fees low while being fully on-chain? MegaETH’s performance will result in very low gas fees, avoiding the fee spikes that occur on other chains. MegaETH is designed to handle a large amount of compute efficiently with low latency. Regarding fees on Valhalla, there will be no VIP program, as everyone will be treated equally. There will be a tiered structure based on volumes, with a consistent fee structure aimed at ensuring no special advantages for particular individuals

MegaETH has not one, but two official mascots. What names would you give them?

The Megalio mint is scheduled for June 28th on Ethereum Mainnet via Kingdomly. Will you be participating?

Just finished reading the Messari Crypto Theses for 2025. MegaETH is the most mentioned L2 after Base. 2025 will be MegaETH's year.

Today, MegaETH hosted a small hangout on Discord to answer your questions about the public testnet. More than 320 people joined to ask questions to MegaETH co-founder Bro Bing (@hotpot_dao) about the upcoming testnet, ETHDenver and more. Here’s everything you might have missed: Summary: A. General Updates B. Testnet Discussion A. General Updates: ▪︎ On ETHDenver: MegaETH was in ETHDenver last week, and it was horrible. It was poorly organized, with totally misguided incentives. It didn’t feel like an Ethereum event at all. The main sponsors were Polkadot and Aptos, and there were no meaningful talks or engaged audiences. Honestly, it was kind of depressing. There were the usual infrastructure talks, but not many developers, and even the Milady party was really lame. MegaETH sponsored the Milady party, but not the logistics. The Milady team knows how to throw a rave, but it still ended up being pretty underwhelming. So, yeah, overall, Denver was just a huge letdown. Bro Bing thinks the biggest takeaway from this is that MegaETH needs to focus on what MegaETH is doing and prioritize its own projects. Bro Bing is even thinking about organizing another MegaZu event this year, possibly somewhere in the US, since the whole team is back there now. ▪︎ On Fluffles: Bro Bing has 3 Fluffle updates today: 1) A fix is being rolled out. 2) A Typeform will be sent out to address any issues. 3) Roles will be assigned to Fluffle holders. Those who own Fluffles can expect more activities and updates in the near future. B. Testnet Discussion: 1/ What is the testnet schedule? The MegaETH Public Testnet will be deployed on March 6th for builders and March 10th for users. ▪︎ For builders: Expect 20k TPS and 15ms block times, with additional scalability improvements coming soon. ▪︎ For users: Testnet ETH will be distributed directly to wallets. 2/ Will the public testnet be incentivized? The goal of the testnet is simple: to test the chain. It is not intended for farming. There will be no airdrop from MegaETH, so if you’re here for airdrop farming, there are other chains that cater to that, and they do it well. That’s why MegaETH introduced Fluffle and did an Echo round before: the team believes this is the right way to engage the community, rather than running an incentivized testnet. MegaETH public testnet is primarily for builders, especially those testing their products on the chain. 3/ What’s the main goal of the testnet? How long will it last? The duration of the testnet is hard to predict, but Bro Bing gave a rough estimate of 2 to 5 months, depending on various factors that are difficult to predict. In addition to bug fixes and optimizations, the team is also looking to attract more builders to join MegaETH ecosystem. 4/ What specific sectors are you targeting? Robotics is one of the sectors MegaETH is targeting. It's not just about AI, it’s about: data collection, incentivizing people to collect data and building a decentralized data marketplace. ︎This is exactly what blockchain excels at. MegaETH is also interested in decentralized infrastructure use cases. So, if anyone is looking to build in these areas, feel free to reach out. 5/ Will the dApps available on testnet day one be exclusively from the MegaMafia, or will there be other builders as well? There will be some level of curation and oversight. While MegaETH will remain permissionless, and people can build their own projects, it's reassuring to know that vetted apps will be available on day one. There is also a misconception that MegaETH only focuses on MegaMafia projects. This is not true. While Bro Bing does spend a lot of time with MegaMafia projects, she also works with MegaForge projects. Currently, she is reviewing all the forms, there are 2000 to sort through. 6/ What are the best security practices for interacting with the MegaETH public testnet? For security, the usual best practices should apply. If you're using a burner wallet or any other security measures, such as a hardware wallet, that should be fine. For Fluffle holders, you will automatically receive testnet tokens in your Fluffle minting wallet. To be safe, you can simply send those tokens to a burner wallet.

What do you think of this sneak peek of the new website?

MegaETH has just announced its own stablecoin: USDm. MegaETH will leverage USDm reserve yields to run the sequencer at-cost ensuring the lowest, most predictable fees for users and builders. This partnership with Ethena introduces a net-new economic model for blockchain.

Guys literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting

"There have been 3 fundamental shifts for DeFi and smart contract-based applications: Ethereum, Solana, and now MegaETH" To what extent is MegaETH's low latency a paradigm shift for DApps? Listen to Enzo, from GTE, answer this question in the latest episode of the Edge Podcast:

If you're a nad, pivot to MegaETH.

A couple days ago, MegaETH hosted a surprise hangout on Discord. Bro Bing (@hotpot_dao) and Bread (@0xBreadguy) discussed Vitalik's investment, New Year resolutions, the ambassador program and much more. In case you missed it, you can now catch up. Here’s what they shared: Summary A. MegaETH and Vitalik B. New Year Resolutions C. Weakness of MegaETH D. Ambassador Program A. MegaETH and Vitalik: The MegaETH's first AMA followed their fundraising announcement, and people kept asking about Vitalik's investment. Bro Bing was surprised by the importance the community placed on Vitalik's investment in MegaETH. Since she is a close friend of him, it was quite easy to get him onboard. Before that, she shared the MegaETH whitepaper with Vitalik and asked whether she should leave Consensys for MegaETH. He said yes. Later, he even came up with the "real-time blockchain" tagline. B. New Year Resolutions: Every year, Bro Bing and her friends reflect on their year. In previous years, she enjoyed sailing on catamarans, competing in races, and pursuing her love for sports and mountain climbing. She has climbed Kilimanjaro and several mountains in Asia and the US. However, last year, she didn’t do much of that. She was focused solely on building MegaETH. Looking ahead to 2025, her only plan so far is to continue focusing on MegaETH. She also hopes to write more and start playing the piano again. On his side, Bread spent his New Year on a plane from Spain to the US. In 2024, he traveled extensively, especially in the last three months. Now that he is back, he wants to lock in. He also wants to focus more on calisthenics and hit the gym more frequently. C. Weakness of MegaETH: Bro Bing said that MegaETH needs to improve its educational content. Bread has already contributed significantly, but more work is needed, especially for the MegaMafia projects. They also need to continue working hard while finding a balance to avoid burnout. On the community side, MegaETH must continue elevating those who contribute to the project. It's essential to build a community that feels recognized and supported. Bread agreed and added that many things are on the way, such as an updated website launching soon and a brand kit coming shortly after. He also wants to create symbols and imagery for MegaETH, such as a signature color. Think of examples like Monad with its purple theme or Abstract/Eclipse with its green. He wants to develop symbols, colors, and imagery that define MegaETH. D. Ambassador Programs: Bro Bing is bearish on ambassador programs. In other projects, many people contribute for just two weeks before leaving. Imagine a country with ambassadors who only stay for two weeks, impossible. MegaETH wants to find people who align with their vision for the long term. They are looking for individuals who will stick with them for two or three cycles and won't leave once the chain is launched. However, Bread added that MegaETH has a strong willingness to recognize individuals and create a structure. MegaETH believes in empowering people with the energy and drive to push the space forward, whether through educational content, entertainment, or other means. So yes, MegaETH is considering it, but there is no formal program at the moment. The key is to find a fun and constructive approach that works for both sides without wasting people's time. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share your ideas with the team.

Big week.

More apps are deploying on MegaETH's testnet. Stay tuned.

Today, MegaETH hosted its 8th AMA with @Euphoria_fi. Over 230+ people joined to hear Nathan (@NathanWorsley_) and Casey (@caseycraig) discuss Euphoria, gambling in a post-AGI world, and happiness. They were there to answer your questions on Euphoria. Here’s what they shared: Summary: A. MegaETH Update B. About Euphoria A. MegaETH Update: ▪︎ On Kaito: MegaETH lost against the cabal that bribes large accounts, but MegaETH won by a landslide in the number of unique yappers. Every vote counted, so thanks to everyone who supported MegaETH. What truly matters is that MegaETH is number one in the people’s hearts. One key lesson is that we should have rallied MegaETH's community much earlier. For example, some of the larger accounts supporting us had never even heard of Kaito before and hadn’t signed up, like Cobie or Jason Choi. ▪︎ On Fluffy: If you've been here for a while, you probably already know what it is wink wink. If not, you are going to hear about it as soon as next week. ▪︎ On MegaForge: Much of MegaETH's focus last year was on the Mega Mafia. Now, MegaETH is opening up its testnet to more builders, and that’s where the MegaForge program comes in. If you know any builders, send them over to MegaForge. B. About Euphoria: 1/ Who are Casey and Nathan, and what are their roles at Euphoria? Casey is the Head of Growth at Euphoria, bringing extensive experience as a trader and educator in the crypto space. Having worked full-time in the industry for many years, she is excited to introduce Euphoria's innovative product to the community. Nathan is the captain of the ship Euphoria, with a strong background in both trading and product development. His expertise in these areas has helped shape Euphoria into something truly new and revolutionary. 2/ How did Casey and Nathan first meet? Nathan met Casey at Devcon in Bangkok during a philosophy discussion. Nathan had been invited to speak on stage about philosophical questions, particularly defending derivatives in what turned out to be a pretty hostile crowd. Everyone kept pushing the argument that derivatives would lead to gambling problems for children. Eventually, Nathan got frustrated and decided to lean into the debate—arguing that if a 60-year-old loses everything gambling, it’s life-ending, but if a 16-year-old does, it’s just an important lesson. That perspective seemed to resonate with Casey, and they ended up talking more after the panel. They dove into AI discussions, started working together, and have been collaborating ever since. 3/ What made you decide to work together full-time? Casey had been struggling with her sense of purpose in the space. Casey had spent a long time trading, building cool Telegram bots, and playing around with quantitative meme trading. But eventually, she wanted something bigger—something meaningful. When Nathan and Casey connected on Euphoria, it felt like a truly impactful project. It combined accessibility with cutting-edge innovation, satisfying both the practical and intellectual sides of what excites her about DeFi. 4/ Can you tell us more about your journey into crypto? ▪︎ Nathan's journey into crypto: He first got into crypto in 2011 when he was bedridden with an illness for several months. To distract myself, he spent a lot of time reading online and came across the Bitcoin white paper. Since he had studied economics for a semester in university, he immediately recognized its transformative potential and he invested all his savings into Bitcoin—though it wasn’t much at the time. At university, he studied economics with a major in machine learning and AI, but he quickly realized that while he understood money and economic systems, he lacked the practical skills to build anything meaningful. Around that time, there was a popular internet meme saying, “Learn to code, bro,” so he decided to do just that. His first project in crypto was LocalCoinSwap, a P2P exchange that still operates today. After a year at LocalCoinSwap, he spotted early signs of MEV trading before Flashbots popularized it. Recognizing a generational opportunity, he started as a solo trader for about a year and a half, then formed a team of 8, originally named DeFi Cartel (later Convexity). After being acquired by Frontier, he worked on developing multiple products. With extensive experience in product development and investing, he eventually founded Euphoria and advised/invested in projects like Flashbots and Keep. ▪︎ Casey's journey into crypto: Casey first got into crypto through Silk Road, where she initially acquired Bitcoin. She forgot about it for a couple of years until she heard about Bitcoin again in 2017. That’s when she realized she had some Bitcoin lying around. After finding it, she sold most of it but didn’t take the time to understand why the asset class was exploding—she just assumed she was a great trader. A few years later, she fully immersed herself in the space. The turning point came during DeFi Summer—that’s when everything clicked. At the time, she was working a 9-to-5 in commercial real estate business development. It was stable but uninspiring, and she was seeking something more meaningful. Once she grasped the potential of on-chain finance and what crypto could unlock, she knew she had to make the leap. That was the moment she left her traditional career behind and never looked back. 5/ How would you explain Euphoria to a 5-year-old, a 30-year-old, and a 70-year-old? For a 5-year-old, the best way to explain Euphoria is through experience rather than words. If a child can intuitively use the platform without needing an explanation, then the design is successful. Euphoria is built to be so simple that even a young child could figure it out just by clicking around. If we had to put it into words, we’d say: "Play with this, tap the squares!" For a 30-year-old, Euphoria is the most intuitive way to trade. It takes all the complexity of derivatives trading—spot trading, options, perpetuals—and simplifies it into a sleek, mobile-friendly experience. Instead of getting lost in technical jargon, users just make a simple decision: where do they think the price will go? That’s it. It’s trading, but without the usual friction and learning curve. For a 70-year-old, the best approach might be the same as with a 5-year-old—just put the app in their hands and let them explore. If they can click and interact without confusion, then the design has done its job. Instead of overcomplicating things with financial terms, Euphoria makes trading feel natural and engaging for anyone, regardless of age or experience. Ultimately, the focus of Euphoria is user experience first, protocol second. The goal was to strip away unnecessary complexity and make trading as intuitive and enjoyable as possible—turning it from something intimidating into something fun, engaging, and accessible to all. 6/ What key considerations in your protocol design make trading so smooth? Our focus is on maximizing user experience with minimal trade-offs, making trading intuitive and frictionless. This aligns closely with MegaETH, which shares our commitment to speed and usability. No other ecosystem could meet our performance needs. As for competition, many quant professionals resist innovation, sticking to traditional finance models. At Euphoria, we embrace fresh thinking, focusing on market gaps and designing something new, much like how Robinhood simplified options trading for retail traders. While crypto-native traders find Euphoria intuitive, we’re focused on the "crypto-curious"—those who understand the basics but find platforms like Hyperliquid too complex. We want to make derivatives accessible to them. History shows visionaries build the future. Engaging, accessible markets like Pump Dot Fun are proof that the future of capital markets is dynamic, social, and enjoyable. 7/ How do you see AI and gambling shaping the future of financial mobility? If work loses its value, could gambling become the main way people generate wealth and move up socially? At its core, AI is being developed to automate economic activity. If we take that to its logical extreme, there will come a point where AI handles nearly everything of economic value, leaving humans without traditional means of generating wealth. This creates a fundamental question—how do people thrive in a world where they have no economic value? One likely outcome is the widespread implementation of Universal Basic Income (UBI), ensuring that people receive a monthly stipend to cover basic needs. However, for those who aspire to move beyond a subsistence-level existence, the most viable path to wealth may be hyper-gambling—taking their UBI check and leveraging it in high-risk, high-reward financial speculation. This could become the primary vehicle for upward mobility in a post-AGI world, allowing individuals to break out of the UBI class and into the elite wealth class. This isn’t just theoretical—it’s already happening in places with UBI or government stimulus programs. In countries like Brazil, for example, people use these funds to bet on sports and engage in speculative trading. As AI further commoditizes labor and wealth concentration increases, this trend could intensify, making high-stakes gambling and speculation one of the few remaining avenues for financial and social advancement. Beyond the financial aspect, this shift also challenges our understanding of meaning and purpose. In a world where AI takes over most productive work, people will need to find new sources of fulfillment. Whether through gambling, speculation, or other digital experiences, the search for meaning will likely become increasingly personalized and subjective. Some may embrace financial risk as a path to excitement and opportunity, while others may seek fulfillment in entirely different ways. Ultimately, the future could unfold in one of three ways: a utopia where AI creates abundance for all, a dystopia where humanity is left behind, or a middle ground where hyper-gambling becomes a dominant force in shaping social and economic mobility. 8/ What do you think is the most powerful thing that will drive mass adoption of crypto? Nathan thinks simplicity is key. When you browse Facebook or any other site, you don't think about all the technical protocols running behind the scenes to deliver that experience. You just enjoy the website. That's exactly where crypto needs to go—making it easy for people to use without worrying about what's happening underneath. He is super bullish on crypto right now—just look at how the U.S. president has launched meme coins. Crypto is definitely heading toward mainstream adoption. Casey adds that the tech is catching up with the sentiment. People have finally realized that to bring more people into crypto, we need better user onboarding and experiences. Crypto has made great strides, but now it’s about refining the user experience so that anyone can easily navigate the space. 9/ How do you define happiness? According to Nathan, happiness is a bit tricky to define because there are two types: subjective and objective. ▪︎ Subjective happiness is the joy you feel in the moment, like when you experience dopamine. ▪︎ Objective happiness is when you reflect on your life and feel content with how it’s turned out, even if not every moment was happy. For example, being a parent can be tough at times, but when you look back, you feel proud and happy about the experience. Nathan thinks it’s about balancing both forms of happiness. For Casey, happiness is ever-changing. It’s a fleeting feeling, and it evolves as you go through different stages in life. It's hard to pin down, but it's important and different for everyone. Sometimes it's about the simple moments, and other times it's about long-term fulfillment. 10/ Can you tell us more about the one-tap trading concept? The core idea behind Euphoria is making everything easy and intuitive, which is why they designed the interfaces with simple finger gestures. Think of how you scroll on Instagram, swipe on Tinder, or refresh your inbox with a simple tap or swipe. They applied that same simplicity to trading interfaces—just a tap, and you’re good to go. It’s important to clarify that this is not just another tap-to-win game. Unlike some tap games that promise fake rewards, Euphoria's goal is to create a serious, sustainable trading experience. They have taken the best elements from those games and applied them to real trading, making it both fun and functional.

Today, MegaETH hosted its 9th AMA with @pumpparty Nearly 200 people joined to hear Arthur (@arthurissir) and Nihar (@nihar_raval) discuss Pump Party, the first-ever interactive crypto gameshow designed to bring millions on-chain. Here is everything you might have missed: Summary: A. MegaETH Update B. 10 Things About Pump Party A. MegaETH Update: The Fluffles mint was an amazing experience for many, though we encountered some issues. Huge thanks to everyone for their patience! We rolled out updates late last night, so if you were affected by metadata issues or PWA-related problems, know that we've been having daily calls with the teams to prioritize fixes. 5,000 more people got skin in the game, and we successfully avoided a gas war. But we’re not stopping here. Our focus remains on ensuring that participants in our ecosystem gain real exposure and incentives that align with the community. Now that NFTs are in place, we're working on infrastructure to integrate them into the ecosystem. Expect Discord roles, collab integrations, and gated discussions—all aimed at amplifying the PFP element and strengthening Mega’s cultural identity. The next big milestone: the public testnet. B. 10 Things About Pump Party: 1/ How did Pump Party become part of MegaMafia? Pump Party was a founder-driven bet. It all started in Dubai during Token2049, where Bro Bing hosted her legendary hotpot event. She was making the rounds, meeting everyone, and that’s where she met Arthur. At the time, Arthur was attending his first crypto conference, and it quickly became clear to the MegaETH team that he was incredibly talented. They started brainstorming ideas together and encouraged him to go all in. He flew to Berlin, lived with the MegaETH team for a month, and quit Google on the spot—pure conviction. They celebrated that night with a lot of shots. Arthur met Nihar while working at Google. On the side, Arthur was building a consumer app that gained significant traction. He made a TikTok video about it, which went semi-viral (~500K views). Nihar saw that TikTok and reached out, interested in collaborating on video content for the app. When they finally met in person, he quickly realized—this guy was brilliant. They clicked, and that’s how they ended up working together. 2/ What are Arthur and Nihar's backgrounds? ▪︎ Arthur's background: He comes from a traditional software background, starting in fintech in San Francisco. He worked at Amazon for a few years before moving to Google, where he contributed to YouTube experiments. While at Google, he felt unfulfilled and sought to work on something meaningful. On the side, he developed an app targeting individuals interested in multiple realities and mind projection. Surprisingly, it gained traction with 500,000 organic downloads (no marketing), 880,000+ monthly active users today, and built a huge Discord community, actively engaging users to shape the product. Eventually, he had some friends in crypto, which led him to Dubai, where he met Namik and the Mega team. That’s when things really started. ▪︎ Nihar's background: He also began in traditional Web2 big tech, spending most of his career at AWS, where he worked in financial services, selling solutions to major institutions like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. But he quickly thought it wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world. Outside of AWS, he focused on growing his media and video production business. That’s where he really found his passion—creating videos that not only resonated emotionally with audiences but also performed at scale, achieving hundreds of millions of views online. His expertise lies in optimizing both short-form and long-form video content to keep people engaged. He focuses on storytelling techniques that make it impossible for viewers to scroll past. This approach has helped him onboard over 100,000 users for previous projects and drive significant revenue. When he first connected with Arthur, Arthur realized his background both included AWS and Meta, and that his interests weren’t just in marketing and growth—he was also deeply involved in product development. That alignment ultimately led them to build together. In terms of reach, across all his projects and client work, he’s accumulated around 750 million lifetime views. A lot of that success has come from collaborations with major influencers and celebrities, particularly within the TikTok and Twitch space. For example, he’s worked with Kai Cenat for product placements within his Twitch streams, Charli D’Amelio, Rosalía, and various rappers, influencers, and other high-profile creators. 3/ What is Pump Party vision? Pump Party is creating a live, interactive streaming experience specifically designed for Web2 users. Think of it as a modern twist on HQ Trivia, the viral game show app from 2017-2018. In their format, there’s a host who interacts directly with the audience in real-time. Unlike traditional Twitch streams that last 4+ hours, their focus is on short-form, highly interactive gaming sessions. Players compete in a series of fast-paced mini-games designed for virality—clippable moments that naturally spread across social media. The winners at the end of each session will split a prize pool. One of the things that makes their games unique is their physical component. Pump Party takes advantage of built-in phone sensors—like accelerometers—to create mini-games that require real-world movement. For example, one of their games is inspired by a viral Gen Z trend called "goon maxing." One of the first mini-games Pump Party developed was inspired by a slang term for "beating off." The concept is simple: users in the audience have to shake their phones as hard and as fast as they can. The more they shake, the more points they earn, and the top performers progress further in the game. They started with these quick, absurd, and viral mini-games—like "goon maxing" or "throw your phone up in the air and see who gets the highest toss." Another game, "helicopter," involved rapid movement that was equally ridiculous and entertaining. These were designed to be funny, engaging, and perfect for short-term virality. They create hilarious moments that people naturally want to share, generating free marketing for us. But as they continued developing Pump Party, they realized that while these meme-driven games were great for grabbing attention, they didn’t retain users. That’s when they started thinking about the power of storytelling. They knew that to keep users engaged, we needed more than just gimmicks—we needed a narrative. Now, instead of just a series of disconnected games, Pump Party is structured as a cohesive show with character progression. Pump Party is launching it as a full season, producing 12–13 pre-planned shows. Early adopters will see the host evolve over time, growing and changing as they interact with the audience. This format transforms users from passive viewers into active participants who shape the story. If you just look at one of these mini-games in isolation, it might seem random or silly. But when you view the entire storyboard of the show—how the host integrates into the gameplay and how each game progresses within the narrative—it becomes something special. Essentially, the audience isn’t just watching a game; they’re part of the story itself. Every decision they make, every challenge they complete, feeds into the broader experience. This interactive storytelling element is what will differentiate Pump Party from traditional game shows or live-streaming experiences. 4/ What are the key characteristics of Pump Party? ▪︎ A natural virality loop: One of the things that makes Pump Party so effective from a marketing perspective is how shareable it is. When you have people vigorously shaking their phones in public, it looks absolutely ridiculous. That alone is enough to make others want to record and share it. This creates a natural virality loop where users generate content for us simply by playing the game. Pump Party has already seen how this works through street interviews—another content format that has gone viral due to its low-effort, high-impact nature. By applying that same principle to Pump Party, they are ensuring that the game itself is designed for maximum organic exposure. ▪︎ Mobile-first: Another key aspect of Pump Party strategy is focusing on a mobile-first experience. While most of the crypto world operates on desktop, they are building for mainstream audiences. Their goal is to Trojan-horse crypto incentives into a Web2-friendly format. Users won’t even realize crypto is involved until they start interacting with incentives—whether that’s purchasing items, earning rewards, or engaging in the ecosystem. They are already passing App Store reviews with no issues because their approach doesn’t scream "crypto" upfront—it just feels like a natural, engaging mobile experience. ▪︎ Scaling live shows: Initially, Pump Party will be a curated experience. This format is completely new, and creating a magical, interactive show requires creative direction. Pump Party in-house team is meticulously crafting scripts, storyboards, and interactive elements to ensure a seamless and engaging experience. However, as they refine the process, they will eventually explore expanding to a more open or permissionless format, allowing other creators to host their own interactive shows. As they progress—likely after two or three seasons—they will start integrating more hosts, including everyday users, to expand participation. 5/ Why blockchain matters for the experience? Even if Pump Party were purely a Web2 product, they believe it would still be a massive success, potentially creating an entirely new industry around interactive entertainment. However, integrating blockchain enables us to scale 10x faster and achieve 100x greater impact. Take CS:GO as an example: it built an ecosystem where most users played for fun while others engaged in skin trading. That secondary marketplace now holds over $3.5 billion in value, largely driven by power users who speculate on in-game assets. Entire businesses and services have been built around this economy, making CS:GO’s market significantly more valuable. The key difference with Pump Party is that blockchain allows them to make this process transparent, permissionless, and accessible to everyone—not just those who understand underground trading markets. Their long-term vision includes a dedicated interface for crypto-native users to speculate and arbitrage the liquidity our platform generates. Done right, this creates a powerful flywheel where both Web2 users and crypto users fuel each other’s engagement and growth. While many crypto projects focus solely on Web3 audiences, Pump Party strategy is different: they are targeting the much larger mainstream market first. Crypto will be seamlessly integrated, but in a way that doesn’t feel forced. Users won’t even realize they’re interacting with blockchain technology until they reach the point of buying incentives or entering prize pools. The team is taking things one step at a time—focusing first on perfecting the Web2 consumer experience, which is emotionally driven rather than business-driven. Once they have nailed that, they can strategically layer in the crypto aspects to amplify everything. 6/ What is the business model? How will monetization work? Pump Party generates revenue in three key ways: ▪︎ Pay-to-Play Competitions: Users can enter higher-stakes games with larger prize pools. ▪︎ In-App Purchases: Players can buy upgrades that enhance their experience, offer progression-based advantages, or allow them to flex on others in the community. ▪︎ Sponsorships & Advertising: With millions of daily active users, brands will have significant incentives to partner with us for high-visibility sponsorships. Unlike passive ad impressions on TikTok, our live-streaming platform commands 100% attention from users, making it extremely valuable for advertisers. 7/ What is the future of meme coins and prize pools? One particularly exciting opportunity is integrating a native token into the platform. With millions of daily users engaged in games, a well-designed token economy could: ▪︎ Sustainably fund large prize pools, making the platform even more attractive to new users. ▪︎ Encourage speculation and arbitrage, further driving up the token’s value. ▪︎ Create a feedback loop where higher token value leads to bigger prizes, attracting more Web2 users, which in turn attracts more crypto speculation. This kind of symbiotic relationship between mainstream users and crypto traders is incredibly powerful and could drive exponential growth. People can make money through various features, including the prize pool and native token. Some of these features will allow players to engage with the game and have clear goals to strive for. 8. Why MegaETH specifically? Is it the technology, the team, or the Mafia accelerator? What elements made you commit to this group? MegaETH's team is highly technical and at the top of their field. These are people I respect, and I’ve had conversations with them. With this level of expertise and performance, everything Pump Party wants to accomplish becomes possible. With these kinds of people at the helm, Pump Party team feels comfortable committing to this project. On a more personal level, what really stood out to me was the strength of the community. The MegaETH and MegaMafia communities are filled with people they consider personal friends. They have grown together, built things together, and that strong bond is actually the most important part to them. 9/ What makes Pump Party’s approach to live streaming different from platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Kick? Pump Party had consider those incumbents, but while they all feature live streaming, their approach is fundamentally different. Twitch, YouTube, and Kick have shaped live streaming as a long-form experience—watching someone play a game for hours while also doing other things. If you look at the biggest streamers, like Kai Cenat, you’ll often find them just sitting in a chair talking for extended periods. Pump Party is reimagining and redefining what live streaming can be. They don’t believe four- or five-hour live streams are the most engaging format. The industry has simply settled on that model. But Pump Party is taking a fundamentally different approach—highly produced, short-form, interactive live streams. It’s a completely different category. They would compare it more to BeReal, which had a brief surge in popularity, focusing on short-form and in-the-moment content. But the key difference is that Pump Party content is highly produced. While others have experimented with short-form live content, no one has taken the same approach as Pump Party. Is there anyone else attempting this format? They haven't found anyone doing it, which is shocking. For them, it’s so obvious that this space needs something new. Even platforms like TikTok and Instagram, which have short-form features, haven’t been able to make it work. There needs to be an entirely new platform designed specifically for this type of content. It’s so clear to us that this should exist, and that’s why Pump Party is working on it. It will seem obvious in hindsight. HQ Trivia proved that people love short-form, highly produced live content, but they failed to innovate and expand. They didn’t build a second or third show, or an ecosystem around it. Pump Party is learning from their mistakes, and they believe the timing is perfect to execute this vision. 10/ What’s next for Pump Party? Pump Party long-term goal is to have multiple live shows per day. However, their immediate focus is on producing one high-quality, groundbreaking show that will make a major impact. Initially, they are leaning towards scheduled programming—something like every Friday at 7 PM. They are still refining this internally, but a set schedule allows them to build anticipation and community engagement. For now, the platform will launch through the App Store, with a primary focus on Web2 users. Consumer entertainment requires a laser-focused approach, and they need to establish their presence before integrating additional features. That said, the broader strategy—similar to projects like Pudgy Penguins and other NFT-based ecosystems—is to build an engaged community from the start. Even without a token at launch, being part of the Mega Mafia provides a sense of belonging and early adopter advantages. This community will be instrumental in driving early adoption and growth. For those asking about Pump Party next milestone: their pilot launch is officially scheduled for March 15th.

Many people are overly focused on MegaETH's ability to handle 100,000 TPS. However, this isn't what defines MegaETH. What truly sets it apart is its exceptionally low latency. While other blockchains may use 100k TPS as a key marketing point, for MegaETH, it's a secondary feature. After all, no Dapp today actually requires that level of throughput. Currently, we have an abundance of blockspace but relatively low demand. ▪︎ Why Does Low Latency Matter? Let’s take perpetual trading as an example. For context, Binance operates with a latency of 10-40ms. MegaETH, with its ultra-low latency, can deliver performance comparable to a CEX, but on-chain. You might argue, "But [my chain] is already fast." That may be true—Hyperliquid, for example, is an excellent product. Its tech stack is similar to Aptos, one of the fastest chains today, with a latency of around 210ms. However, that's still 21x to 210x slower than MegaETH. "But 210ms is fast enough for most users." Yes, it may be sufficient for many, but it’s not fast enough to enable high-frequency trading (HFT) on-chain. Like Sui, Solana, and Monad, Hyperliquid is an L1 blockchain. They all share a common latency bottleneck because their nodes must communicate to reach consensus. How can they truly compete with a centralized solution like Binance? The answer is, they can't. A set of nodes that need to communicate to achieve consensus will always be slower than a single node. ▪︎ Why Do We Need High-Frequency Trading? HFT is crucial for both market makers (MMs) and takers. It increases liquidity and lowers transaction fees, directly benefiting the end user. In the end, this creates a better product for retail users and attracts large institutions to move on-chain. On MegaETH, @valhallaperps is building this. Ever wonder why users prefer Binance over perpetual DEXs? Now you know. The same principle applies to gaming, DePIN, and other latency-sensitive apps. MegaETH isn’t just fast—it’s the first real-time blockchain.

MegaETH will bring back the World Computer vision.

Billions of dollars are leaked to stablecoin issuers every year. It is time to take back control with USDm.

MegaETH sequencer will remain centralized. Decentralizing the sequencer would compromise performance. MegaETH low latency goals of 1-10ms are impossible by introducing consensus. A group of nodes that needs to reach consensus will always be less performant than a single node. However, it does not mean MegaETH is AWS. MegaETH will have several decentralized properties: 1. From Ethereum As an L2, MegaETH will inherit its security from Ethereum. Ethereum is the most decentralized and secured L1 providing strong censorship resistance. 2. From the Sequencer MegaETH's unique beefy sequencer will include features like forced transaction inclusion and escape hatches. The sequencer will operate with a rotating set, with only one active at any given time. The active sequencer will have a slashable stake on L1. 3. From EigenDA The risks associated with EigenDA will be addressed progressively through improved economic security and fraud detection. The more ETH that are restaked, the stronger the economic security. A slashing mechanism for misbehaving nodes and fraud detection mechanisms will be introduced. 4. From the Node Network MegaETH's prover network will be permissionless. There will also be a replica and full node network. The hardware requirements for nodes, excluding the sequencer, will be lower than those of competing L1s.

Happy Lunar New Year to anyone who celebrates it

Last week, Euphoria revealed their trading interface for the first time to the community through a live walkthrough. In the coming weeks, you can expect an updated version featuring much more video footage. Here’s a recap of what you may have missed from Euphoria’s latest AMA: 1/ What is Tap Trading? To place your trades, you simply need to tap the square where you think the price is going to go. If the price hits the square you selected, you win money. Otherwise, if the price passes your square and does not hit it, you lose money. The further away you are tapping, the higher the amount of money you win if the price goes through that square. Tap trading is very fast-paced. You are trading on literally second-by-second timeframes. You can pick up your phone and, in a 10-minute trading session, you can take 20 or 30 trades. It is a very addictive experience that makes you feel like you are connected to the market. You are watching the price, and you can feel an emotional connection to it. Euphoria often talked about "fun-maxing." Tap trading is something that brings that punk, fun feeling to trading blue chips. You don't have to get rugged every 15 seconds to feel something. You can come and have a good time trading blue-chip assets without having to worry about who has supply control or wondering if you are going to get rugged. Furthermore, if you zoom out to a higher timeframe and you are not trading in a super fast way, you can actually treat it like a visual options trading experience. You have got these squares, and you can click to place range-based trades. Finally, tap trading actually meets people where they are. It just simplifies things and makes it super accessible for anybody to place trades, depending on their trading style. 2/ Is this gambling or is this trading? The question of whether something is gambling or trading is they think in a way a regulator would also define it: can you apply some kind of skill to the experience to change the expected value you get from it? Most people lose trading, but it is still skill-based. If you are using a slot machine, that is not the case. It does not matter what strategy you employ, you are just negative EV and you will lose all your money. It is also a user behavior as well. You can go gamble on Hyperliquid or you can go trade on Hyperliquid. You could gamble-trade on Binance or you could actually trade on Binance. It just depends on how you treat it. Euphoria is skill-based. If you are a trader and you know where the price is going to go, then yes you can absolutely have a higher EV than someone who is just mindlessly tapping. 3/ How does social interaction make crypto trading more engaging? Euphoria loves the idea that with your friends you can just pull out your phones and have a trading experience together and tap trading together. You see all of the trades that your friends are placing. You can copy them and you can just tap on the same squares they are tapping on. You can trade against them and see who is up the most in that period of time. Generally, Euphoria team thinks the social aspect is one of the most fun things about any trading experience. Even though they have not built that many social features into the platform, a lot of the usage of Hyperliquid is based around social experiences. It is people in TG trading groups that form clans and trade together. It is people sharing their leaderboard positions, people talking about their wins and losses and getting status and following the drama on Twitter. For instance the recent drama with the Hyperliquid whale was the most fun story I have seen in trading in years. I would not have been possible if we did not have a social community and experience built around Hyperliquid. It is like a sporting event. You become a spectator and you are kind of betting either for or against the guy. And I think that’s the thing about crypto that TradFi does not have, this sense of community and participation. 4/ How will Euphoria compete for mindshare in a meme-driven space where utility is often ignored? What's the survival strategy? You have seen how projects like Loudio captured attention fast using guerilla-style tactics. Euphoria actually played into that with their own tongue-in-cheek job post tapping into the Loudio effect on Twitter. But the key difference is: Euphoria has a real product to back it up. Euphoria team thinks the attention economy is not going away and instead of trying to fight it, Euphoria is using it. When people keep hearing about Euphoria and finally check it out, our goal is that they find something truly net new. Not just another meme, but a movement, a fresh way to trade and think about markets. Euphoria team is still shaping what their long-term attention play looks like, but they believe in doing things that genuinely benefit users, not just spam timelines for a week. It’s not about hiring a marketing agency but it is about rewarding the people who actually create mindshare for them. That’s how Euphoria plans to survive and thrive in this space. 5/ What if someone accidentally clicks like a child tapping the screen or someone with "fat fingers"? Is there any protection to prevent accidental trades or losing money? Euphoria is planning to offer different modes. In "Degen Mode," trades happen instantly with a single tap. But you'll also have the option to add a confirmation step like a “Confirm” button or a short window (e.g. 5 seconds) to undo the action. So users can choose between speed and safety.

Someone stress-tested the testnet today with fat transactions. It spiked to 180 Mgas/s, which is 2× the current combined usage of Ethereum and all L2s. All of this while TPS stayed stable around 110 and block time at 10 ms. Only possible thanks to our insane gas limit.
