Sunday landed as a “busy-for-a-weekend” session: steady baseline activity, a broad DEX user footprint, and a couple of sharp, contract-driven bursts that briefly pushed the network well above its usual envelope. Broader market conditions remain cautious, but onchain usage held up.
The Week So Far
MegaETH has been remarkably stable over the last week on throughput: the last 7 days are essentially flat, and this week’s average TPS (30.5) is only slightly above last week (30.1). The bigger story is the weekend pattern shifting upward: this weekend averaged 29.4 TPS versus 26.6 TPS last weekend, and Sunday (March 01) outperformed a typical weekend baseline.
On L2 “real” volume, daily transactions have generally stayed in the mid-2M range, with March 01 printing 2.75M. Unique wallets, however, continue to be more elastic than throughput: March 01’s 8,135 wallets is below several midweek prints (notably 20,227 on Feb 24), suggesting that activity is being carried by a mix of repeat users, automation, and high-frequency app loops rather than a broad-based user surge.
Reliability has also calmed compared to the late-February turbulence: network-wide failed-tx rate was 2.6% on March 01, continuing the lower-error regime seen since Feb 26 (2.2%–3.2%), well below the 23.3% outlier day on Feb 20.
The Day
Sunday’s rhythm was “two humps with a midday lull.” Hourly averages climbed quickly after midnight, topping out at 39.5 TPS around 02:00 UTC, eased down into a softer window around 11:00–12:00 UTC (26.7–26.5 TPS), then rebuilt through the afternoon with another push in the 16:00–20:00 UTC range (35.8 TPS at 16:00; 37.5 TPS at 20:00).
On the app side, the day split cleanly between throughput-heavy gaming loops and user-heavy DEX flow:
- Crossy Fluffle dominated raw transactions at 64,850 txs (6,363 Mgas) but only 52 unique callers. That combination—very high tx/caller—reads like tight gameplay loops and/or automated interaction driving steady chain load.
- Kumbaya was the user footprint leader with 4,092 unique callers on 8,991 txs (2,940 Mgas). In practical terms: fewer transactions than Crossy Fluffle, but far more distinct participants, consistent with routine swapping/LP actions spreading across many wallets.
- Ferdy.bet stayed active (3,851 txs; 58 callers), while Avon posted a notably “human” ratio (148 txs from 129 callers), implying many single-shot interactions rather than looping.
The most unusual moments were contract-led bursts rather than a broad lift across the catalog. Two performance alerts stood out:
- Network TPS briefly spiked to 185.0 TPS at 22:13 UTC, and network gas burst to 541.7 Mgas/s at 16:52 UTC. In both cases, the top contributor was World Markets - Exchange, including a 72,022 tx/hour window around 01:37 UTC. These look like concentrated, short-lived episodes layered on top of an otherwise normal Sunday.
- “Small-but-real” activity spikes also appeared in MegaETH - Secret Game (680 tx/hour around 03:49 UTC), aligning with the early-day hump.
A second theme was a cluster of bursty/new contracts showing automation-like behavior:
- 0x5c84050559029ae2b870138082e786507e9bc740 appeared ~6.5 hours prior and ran 4,592 txs from 31 callers (~148 tx/caller), still active.
- 0x3f1f0ea9b6691378a111c5653fb78090b57881b2 jumped to 1,022 txs in the last 24h (from 5 in the prior period), a sharp step-up worth watching for follow-through.
- The 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 “volume” line also rose to 2,024 txs; this often flags systemic mechanics (mints/burns/edge routing) rather than a single app narrative.
Health Check
At the network level, nothing alarming: 2.6% failures on March 01 is clean, and lower than Saturday’s 3.2%.
At the contract level, there were a few localized failure spikes clustered late in the day:
- 0x03c7632ed8780bc1e6ccbaf9ec6a1b4f84225601 hit 23.2% failures (26/112) around 22:35 UTC.
- 0x5c84050559029ae2b870138082e786507e9bc740 showed 39.5% failures (51/129) around 21:46 UTC, notable given it’s also a fresh, high-velocity contract.
- Several other addresses showed smaller spikes (6%–13% range). These read more like isolated integration/parameter issues than systemic chain instability.
The Takeaway
March 01 was a stronger-than-usual Sunday: higher TPS and higher total transactions, even as unique wallets dipped—suggesting activity concentrated into fewer, more active actors and a few bursty contracts. DEX participation remained broad (Kumbaya’s caller count stood out), while gaming loops continued to provide consistent throughput.
On the Road to TGE, fee generation remains below the $50K/day threshold (total fees were $26K, led by Kumbaya at $15K and Cap at $10K), but the sustained DEX user base is the right kind of activity if the ecosystem wants to turn usage into durable daily fees.
