MegaETH to Launch Public Testnet Onboarding Begins March 10 

In Summary

  • MegaETH’s public testnet launches March 6, with user onboarding from March 10
  • Network aims for 100,000 TPS with specialized nodes for high performance
  • Testnet will feature 1.68 Ggas/sec computational capacity and 15ms block times
  • MegaETH raised $20M in seed funding, plus $13M from an NFT collection


Catenaa, Thursday, March 06, 2025- MegaETH, a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 network, will deploy its public testnet today (6), marking a key milestone in its development.

The rollout will follow a phased approach, with infrastructure teams and developers gaining initial access before public onboarding begins March 10. 

Designed to process up to 100,000 transactions per second, MegaETH utilizes specialized nodes such as sequencers and provers to optimize performance. The testnet will provide developers with access to 1.68 Ggas/sec computational capacity and 15-millisecond block times in single-threaded performance. 

MegaETH has gained significant investor backing, securing $20 million in a seed round led by Dragonfly Capital, with participation from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. In February, it raised an additional $13 million through its NFT collection, “The Fluffle.” 

The testnet phase is expected to validate MegaETH’s scalability and security before its full mainnet launch.
