- MegaETH mainnet launches today, which allows new users to interact without paying transaction fees.
- The token generation event depends on USDm stablecoin growth and app activity.
The MegaETH mainnet is launching today, which marks a major step for the Ethereum ecosystem as it is designed as a Layer‑2 blockchain, and operates independently while using Ethereum’s security.
According to Infinex’s post, MegaETH is going live at 9 am EST. The deployment coincides with a significant integration into Infinex’s crypto superapp. This enables new users to interact with MegETH via gasless first transactions. Thus, the platform creates an intuitive setting with faster onboarding and increased network engagement.
With that, Wyck, a popular crypto voice on X, posted that MegaETH mainnet would be launching in a few hours, but noted that it would be without the token generation event (TGE). They said attention would therefore focus on network activity rather than price, and added, “I’m expecting some risky but interesting plays with memecoins launching and NFTs minting. I’ll be showing up for that part.”
According to Aixbt’s X post, the MEGA token will not launch immediately, and the token generation event won’t happen until either $500 million in USDm stablecoin is generated or 10 applications achieve 100,000 transactions, and mentioned, “Track usdm minting rate over next 48 hours. If it stalls under $100m first week, the TGE delays and you get the strk/zk playbook.” The USDm stablecoin aims to lower fees by supporting processing expenses through yield-backed reserves, rather than typical fee margins, as per the MegaETH blog
With that, MegaETH announced the Chainlink Scale program from day one, adopting Chainlink’s data feeds, data streams, and cross‑chain interoperability standards to bring trusted oracle data and seamless DeFi connectivity to its high‑performance blockchain, as per the official blog
As integration gives MegaETH users immediate access to major DeFi assets and protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido’s wstETH, and Lombard’s BTC.b and LBTC through industry‑standard oracle and interoperability infrastructure.
As MegaETH begins operations, the MEGA token release and network adoption metrics will guide the next steps for users and developers on the platform.

Mega Bank's Director Rui-bin Zhuang tests stablecoin remittances, but the costs of blockchain are misunderstood.
Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
