#数字资产市场动态 Performance breakthrough is here! MegaETH is set to "blast" the blockchain in just one week

A game-changing Layer 2 chain is knocking on the door. The high-performance EVM-compatible chain MegaETH officially announced that on January 22, 2026, they will conduct a 7-day global stress test. This is no joke—they aim to push the limits of real-world load.

How hardcore is this test? The target numbers will shock you.

Processing 11 billion transactions in 7 days, maintaining a stable throughput of 15,000 to 35,000 TPS (transactions per second). To give you a reference—since the launch of a leading smart chain in 2020, the total transaction volume over these four years is roughly the same. MegaETH plans to accomplish in one week what others take years to do.

If they really pull this off, it will become the largest-scale public stress test in the history of the entire EVM ecosystem. And they’ve even set a bigger goal for themselves: ultimately reaching 100,000 TPS.

Who will have access during the test?

This isn’t just an internal practice for the technical team. During those 7 days, MegaETH’s mainnet will be temporarily open to the public. They invite developers and users to deploy applications in real conditions—especially those scenarios extremely sensitive to latency, such as full-chain gaming and high-frequency trading systems. No gentle testing—go all out to stress the network. Only then can they truly verify how "high-performance" their system is.

Why is this event worth paying attention to?

Simply put, where does blockchain currently hit a wall? It’s speed. Many innovative applications fail because the network is slow and fees are high. MegaETH’s ambitious goal with this test is to push on-chain throughput to the level of traditional payment networks, laying a solid foundation for the next generation of truly real-time on-chain applications.

After the test, MegaETH plans to officially launch the public mainnet. Regardless of the outcome, this extreme stress test itself proves one thing: the Layer 2 race has entered the performance competition stage. $ETH

1.1 billion transactions? Bragging or real skill, only testing will tell If it can truly stabilize at 35,000 TPS, I’ll eat my screen. Don’t forget to tag me then Wait, they said it’s open to the public? So can I also go try to mess around? 100,000 TPS... If this becomes a reality, other L2s should really be renamed L Turtle But honestly, such stress tests are usually done with confidence; they rarely do reckless live tests that fail Hearing various Layer2 hype every day, finally someone dares to verify so hardcore openly, it's kind of interesting

1.1 billion transactions completed in a week? If that really happens, I'll go all in directly. Wait, let's first look at the test results for January. Sounds impressive, but with so many layer2 solutions, it's not certain who will survive in the end. MegaETH is really aiming to push the performance ceiling. If they can achieve 100,000 TPS, it could truly change the game. Why is the testing only scheduled for 2026 again? Why not do it now?

1.1 billion transactions settled in a week? Sounds unbelievable, but I just want to see it crash and burn.

110 billion transactions in one week? Is it really hype, or will we only know after testing? --- 100,000 TPS? If that's real, I’ll go all in. --- Another stress test and public invitation—aren't you afraid of failure? Haha. --- Finally, someone dares to push performance to the limit. Other L2s are still sleeping. --- Full-chain gaming is saved now; latency is no longer a nightmare. --- I just want to see if it can really reach that number, not just on paper. --- Layer 2 is racing now; it’s about time to do it this way. --- Maintaining 35,000 TPS steadily? If true, that would be truly historic.
