MegaETH stayed in its recent “steady-but-not-busy” regime on Wednesday, with average TPS unchanged from Tuesday. The standout wasn’t raw throughput—it was participation: unique wallets fell to a notably low level even as overall transaction volume held near recent ranges, suggesting activity concentrated into fewer actors under cautious broader market conditions.
The Week So Far
Over the last couple of weeks, the network has been broadly stable around ~30 TPS (this week’s average 30.0 vs last week’s 30.3), with one big outlier: Friday, Feb 20 (36.1 avg TPS / 142.1 peak) that also coincided with an unusually high network failure rate (23.3%). Since then, throughput has normalized and the last 7 days have been essentially flat (-0.3%).
What hasn’t been flat is participation. Unique wallets have swung widely day to day: Tuesday, March 03 reached 10.4K, then Wednesday dropped to 4.5K—one of the lowest readings in the past month. Meanwhile, transaction volume has been more resilient (2.87M on Monday → 2.37M Tuesday → 2.35M Wednesday), pointing to fewer wallets doing more of the work.
Weekend behavior has also shifted: last weekend averaged 30.8 TPS vs 27.0 TPS the weekend prior, a meaningful step-up that hasn’t yet carried into midweek.
The Day
Wednesday’s hourly rhythm was quiet through early UTC hours (mid-20s TPS), then built into an afternoon ramp with a clear peak at 39.0 TPS at 16:00 UTC before tapering back toward ~24–26 TPS into late evening.
App-level activity was split between transaction-heavy gaming loops and gas-heavy DeFi:
- Crossy Fluffle topped the transaction leaderboard at 6.3K txs, but with only 38 unique callers—consistent with a tight loop being hammered by a small set of accounts. Its own activity spike hit 2,629 tx/h around 01:55 UTC, and the core contract is here: 0xa30a04b433999d1b20e528429ca31749c7a59098.
- Kumbaya was the day’s “weight class” leader: 5.5K txs but 2,302 Mgas and 1,387 unique callers. That maps cleanly to the network gas surge, where gas peaked at 301.3 Mgas/s at 08:53 UTC with Kumbaya contributing 299.9 Mgas in that window. If you’re tracing what was being exercised, the Kumbaya FireLaunch contract is a good starting point: 0x69fe0908f1211de66f7067021998f28a5693abbd.
- Ferdy.bet stayed active (5.3K txs; 190 callers), keeping GambleFi traffic in the top tier even on a lower-participation day.
Outside the named dapps, two contract-led bursts stood out:
- A short network TPS burst hit 95.0 TPS at 16:23 UTC, driven primarily by 0xb4e1010da22f86f630b8bb2b245e38938973b119 (3,562 tx in that detection window).
- “World Markets - Exchange” saw a major hourly activity spike (35,204 tx/h around 14:31 UTC) and is worth a look alongside its failure behavior: https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x5e3ae52eba0f9740364bd5dd39738e1336086a8b

Health Check
At the network level, Wednesday looked clean: 0.3% failed transactions (7.9K failed out of 2.35M), well below the elevated conditions seen in parts of mid-February.
Contract-level reliability was more mixed, with several localized failure spikes:
- World Markets - Exchange at 11.0% failures (775 / 7,027) around 22:03 UTC: https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x5e3ae52eba0f9740364bd5dd39738e1336086a8b
- 0xea5df9b3872a80b05b878c09776a559bd8d4e6ac at 18.3% (20 / 109) around 18:18 UTC
- 0x0be268ebb2114c39ca817fff66503d4785ed019a at 11.8% (14 / 119) around 18:06 UTC
These patterns often align with competitive interactions (bots, timing races, or intentional reverts from gating/rate-limits) rather than “broken apps,” especially when the rest of the network is operating normally.
The Takeaway
Wednesday, March 04 was a steady-throughput day with a real participation wobble: 27.5 TPS on 2.35M transactions, but only 4.5K unique wallets. Activity concentrated into a few dense pockets—gas-heavy Kumbaya usage and brief contract-driven throughput bursts—while overall network health stayed strong despite a handful of localized failure spikes.
On the Road to TGE, there wasn’t a breakout: Live Mafia Apps remains at 5/10 and no app cleared the $50K/day fee bar on March 04 (total fees across apps: $26K). The day’s Kumbaya-driven gas and user footprint is directionally supportive, but the fee-based milestone still needs sustained, per-app follow-through (details: https://www.megaeth.com/token).
