MegaETH is an Ethereum layer-2 network developed by MegaLabs, marketed as a 'real-time blockchain' targeting up to 100,000 transactions per second. Backed by high-profile investors including Vitalik Buterin, Dragonfly Capital, and Joseph Lubin, the project raised over $100 million across seed and public sale rounds before its February 2026 mainnet launch and April 2026 MEGA token generation event. The network currently operates with a single centralized sequencer, its public token sale drew scrutiny over Sybil activity and thin lock-up participation, and the MEGA token lost roughly 55% of its value within days of listing — patterns consistent with other heavily hyped, VC-backed L2 launches rather than indicators of fraud.
