MegaETH Mainnet is now open to builders. This phase will allow the apps to deploy in advance and take the time to test and finalize any dependencies/integrations needed ahead of user onboarding. During this phase, even if the users will not be able to interact with the apps yet, they can still monitor the chain progress via the already deployed tools (blockscout explorer, dune, growthepie or the community visualizers). As a builder if you missed the 1st phase, don't worry, it's an ongoing process, and you can still apply if your app is ready to deploy.

@HarukoRose Happy birthday, Rose!

I turned 30 today 🎂

Today, MegaETH hosted its 13th AMA. Over 100 people tuned in to hear @hotpot_dao and @bread_ share the latest updates on the apps, TGE, KPIs, AI, the Reward Campaign, and much more. They also took the time to answer all your questions. Here is everything you might have missed: 1/ On App Deployments: Apps are rolling out slowly, with many already running in large-scale private beta for those who want to try them. Most delays stem from real-world coordination. It is something often underestimated when aligning all stakeholders in launching a chain and its ecosystem. The team avoids forcing apps to launch just for day-1 optics. Since apps are the real differentiator, MegaETH team prefers giving apps time to ship meaningful products rather than rushing half-ready ones. Many launches are timed together because apps don’t succeed in isolation. Lending, deposits, and other protocols need each other to create a functional ecosystem. 2/ On Token Timing & KPIs: The team has been constantly evaluating the right timing for the TGE, weighing when the token could launch in a way that truly makes sense. They wanted to ensure the token is positioned to succeed, with a strong foundation and a thriving ecosystem that incentivizes participation in proximity markets. Team set achievable KPIs to ensure progress happens reasonably fast, without dragging things out or creating fatigue. Being crypto natives, they aim for a measured rollout that balances ecosystem activity with token utility, rather than an endless grind. Several apps are preparing to go live soon, including Euphoria, Hit One, World Markets, Brix, and Supernova. 3/ On Pre-Deposit Bridge Fail: The cancellation was based on a clear cost-benefit analysis. Holding $500M for months with nothing to deploy it into would be wasteful. From a business perspective, MegaETH would have been “renting” that money without apps or ecosystem ready to deploy it. Paying incentives on idle capital is just a cost with no benefit. The goal is to prioritize velocity, productivity, and ecosystem activity, so returning the money was responsible. Finally, the team is actively fixing the bridges to mainnet. A 1:1 bridge solution to complement the multiple low-slippage options listed on Rabbithole is coming. 4/ On the Reward Campaign: The incentive program is actively being built. MegaETH does not want to incentivize anything until there are apps worth bridging funds for. People can complain or FUD all they want, but without live apps, incentives have no purpose. Now that more apps are going live, the team is comfortable moving forward and is optimist for April. Instead of just placing icons on apps, MegaETH team is building a fun experience where users can strategize by combining protocols to unlock more points and benefits. Similar to Blast, the aim is to give people reasons to return repeatedly over 6–8 months. The focus is on keeping it fun, relevant, and spread across multiple apps so users continuously have new things to explore. 5/ On the Internal Reorganization: During the road to mainnet, MegaETH hired several people to take on pending tasks. New hires picked up tasks along the way to help ensure a successful mainnet launch. Now that the chain is live, the team has reorganized to focus on maintaining and growing the ecosystem. As part of this reorganization, Bread became Head of Ecosystem and new hires joined to strengthen areas such as marketing. Finally, MegaETH has shifted to a product-centric company. All decisions are now guided by the user perspective, with the principle of building only what users genuinely value. 6/ On AI Integration: Internally the team is heavily leaning into AI, with a mandate to use it to “10x” productivity. MegaETH’s lean team (~50 people, mostly engineers) can stay efficient without bloating headcount like other older ecosystems. On the ecosystem side, MegaETH is focusing on integrating AI primitives and emerging standards (ERC-8004, ERC-8128, x402) while providing tools for builders. For example, the « Awesome MegaETH AI » GitHub is the official repo for AI skills on MegaETH. Developers can create skills that agents use to interact with protocols, accelerating AI experimentation on-chain. 7/ On New Asset Strategy: Besides AI, net-new assets are seen as key drivers to bring users to the chain. Instead, they target exotic assets, like Brix’s iTRY, giving users meaningful ways to express trading theses. The strategy is to bring in assets other platforms cannot, making MegaETH a hub for differentiated offerings. A dedicated team member owns this vertical, working globally to bring in unconventional assets that drive real engagement. 8/ On ICO Fund Use: Building and launching a chain is expensive. The majority of the funds raised goes to apps and their dependencies or to team compensations. Every app comes with infrastructure dependencies. For example, Aave will not deploy unless certain oracle setups, liquidity conditions, audits, and integrations are in place. As a result, the team must then build X, Y, and Z infrastructure for each app and quickly costs add up to millions per app, often yearly. 9/ On GTM & Content Strategy: The GTM team is now led by Bro Bing with a new hire helping with content and messaging. The goal is to be thoughtful about how MegaETH appears online. Currently, timelines on X favor geopolitics and AI doom content, while crypto gets less algorithmic attention. The strategy is to counter this with quality content supporting apps through funny, casual, non-cringe storytelling. The team is experimenting with formats like Hit One videos and written pieces. MegaETH is also expanding beyond crypto-native distribution with a New York–based creative agency. With this creative agency, MegaETH is exploring Web2-style content and distribution, leveraging top creatives rather than doing everything internally. 10/ On Fluffles: Fluffles will be brought to MegaETH so they can be represented and queried on-chain. Higher-priority initiatives like the Reward Campaign and other product launches take precedence for now. It remains on the roadmap and will be addressed once time-sensitive items are delivered.

Discord reminder: discord.gg/hZdgSBFe?event…

In a couple of hours (1:30pm UTC) we are going to have an AMA session with the core team in MegaETH discord server. Set your reminder on the link below, and come ask the most burning questions about mainnet and future plans.

yo, bro bing is sorry we've been quiet over the past 10 days, I’ve heard a consistent piece of feedback from the community: why is the mega core team so quiet? that observation is fair. We have been quiet, and the silence feels eerie for a team that prides itself on building in public. what’s happening behind the scene is that there were several things the ecosystem needed to ship before we felt comfortable being loud again. one example is the bridge. we discovered issues that required deeper fixes than we initially expected, and once we understood the scope, we decided to address them thoroughly. specifically, we are working on a true 1:1 bridge solution to complement multiple low-slippage options listed on Rabbithole another factor is our apps, which are literally breaking every obstacles imaginable and full speeding heading toward public launch (frfr). i know many die hard community memebers have tried them, and are giving feedbacks. to outsiders, it's true that not much progress has been updated so this is my attempt at changing it. btw, i dont have to stress this more but most mega apps are novel, and all of them are essentially money-apps. this means that even the smallest change can trigger deeper questions about risk, liquidity, ux change, and that means a much longer timeline ( often time surprisingly) @brix_money is working directly with Turkish regulators to bring iTRY onchain and enable the TL carry trade. The process involves regulatory engagement, banking partnerships, market maker coordination, and the development of settlement infrastructure that connects traditional finance with onchain systems. The team has started working with major banks in Turkey. The next step before rollout is to finalise the ops around settlement. @SupernovaLabs_ is building the first and fastest CLOB-based rates exchange for trading and hedging economically important numbers that don’t have liquid spot markets, starting with interest rate and FX. Their private beta achieves avg $300m in daily notional trading volume, totaling $10B+ in trading volume already. They are in active conversation with prime brokerage and institutions to bring more liquidity. Last but not least, they just onboarded ex head of growth at Ethena as an investor and advisor. @worldmarketsinc has been building a truly-onchain DEX (no asterisks) with functionality akin to FTX. Mega enables not only their matching engine but also the ATLAS risk engine, so users can “do more with their money.” Unlike FTX, the team deliberately chose NOT to have any form of a backend. WM epitomizes crypto’s original ethos. Currently, they’re in the final sprint of optimising UI and seeding initial liquidity to open up to more users. @hitdotone has just opened access beyond private beta. It is one of the most fun consumer crypto app we've seen, and more importantly the most thoughtful money app. Hit does not make money when users lose. there is no cap on profits, and positions can be held indefinitely. Hit is built on real market liquidity. There is no algorithm deciding whether you win or lose. @Euphoria_fi just concluded its grand Tapathon, giving away a Rollie and a trip to London to a skilled Tap Trader who made $71k in paper money. This served as a stress test for their protocol and MegaETH, fully exposed to the creativity of real users. This pivotal phase now leads right into a fast-approaching mainnet launch. khalas, i’ve learned from the last 3 weeks that despite the core team being more locked in than ever, we should still communicate our progress to the public going forward, we will resume hosting regular Discord AMAs and Twitter Spaces so the community can hear from the team and from builders across the ecosystem. qed.
