MegaETH Daily Digest — March 13, 2026

At a Glance

• Network↓: 26.0 TPS on average (down from 29.7 TPS on Mar 12)
• Volume↓: 2.23M transactions (down from 2.56M on Mar 12)
• Users↑: 4.7K unique wallets (slightly up from 4.6K)
• Top app: Kumbaya led with 11.9K txs and 2,150 unique callers
• Health: 1.1% failed transactions (normal)
• Signal: a sharp, short-lived burst in TopStrike activity coincided with 100% failures, while MBIRD drove an outsized gas-per-second spike later in the day

March 13 was the quietest day of the last two weeks by average TPS, continuing the broader cooldown since the early-March surge. In the current cautious market conditions, usage looked more like a “steady baseline” day with a couple of narrow, likely automated spikes rather than broad user-driven demand.

The Week So Far

This week is still running hotter than last week in throughput terms (38.9 TPS vs 32.5 TPS on average), but the direction over the last several days has been down. The most notable feature across the last 14 days is the regime shift into much busier weekends: this weekend averaged 45.4 TPS vs 30.8 TPS last weekend, a meaningful step up even as weekday activity has been choppier.

On the transaction and wallet side, the story is “spike then settle.” Network volume hit 4.06M tx on Mar 6 and stayed elevated through Mar 11 (4.00M on Mar 10; 3.64M on Mar 11) before dropping back to 2.56M on Mar 12 and 2.23M on Mar 13. Unique wallets were extremely volatile: 73.7K on Mar 8 and 37.3K on Mar 9, followed by a sharp reset to 6.2K on Mar 10 and <10K for each day since.

Reliability has been solid during this cooldown. Fail rates have stayed low (0.6%–2.6% most days since Mar 5), a stark contrast to the late-February outlier days that saw double-digit network failure rates.

The Day

March 13’s hourly rhythm was flat-to-soft. Most hours held in the mid‑20s TPS, with a brief midday lift (31.6 TPS at 13:00 UTC, 31.4 TPS at 14:00 UTC) and then a gradual fade into the low‑20s by 20:00–22:00 UTC.

App activity was led by Kumbaya (11.9K txs, 3,344 Mgas, 2,150 unique callers), which stands out as the most broadly-used DApp in the 24h leaderboard. Avon was next in “real users per gas” terms (3.8K txs, 1,255 Mgas, 993 unique callers), consistent with DeFi usage that’s present even on quieter network days. Ferdy.bet also consumed meaningful gas (3.5K txs, 1,405 Mgas) on just 136 unique callers, suggesting heavier sessions per user.

Gaming activity was more “few callers, lots of loops.” Crossy Fluffle posted 3.6K txs from 14 unique callers and had a 1,942 tx/h spike around 02:00 UTC; Intraverse ran 2.3K txs from 8 callers; and Canonic had 1.5K txs from 4 callers. That pattern often points to automation, repeated in-game actions, or a small number of power users rather than broad participation.

The standout anomaly was TopStrike: 6.4K txs over 24h (+4655% vs the prior 24h window), and it was flagged as the top contributor to a 91.0 TPS spike around 13:00 UTC. At the contract level, the TopStrike - TopStrike contract also showed a burst to 67 TPS around 13:01 UTC with 100% failures, which reads more like bot pressure or gated/competitive mechanics than normal gameplay throughput.

Later, detectors flagged a major gas-per-second spike (254.9 Mgas/s at 19:50 UTC) with MBIRD as the top contributor (34.3 Mgas in that window). Given the day’s low baseline gas rate (7.2 Mgas/s average), this looks isolated rather than systemic—but it’s worth a quick look in Insights if similar spikes recur.

A few non-DApp contracts also accelerated versus their prior 24h baselines:

• https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0xa119f84bc1b8083f5061e4cf53705cbf1065ba27 (503 txs, +858%)
• https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0xc81d6ac9c8a2cba911265fdc37cf841b7209ee18 (506 txs, +644%)
• https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x77e4e1a90c358d5ed9b375dd8e2a6638a50e7643 (101 txs, +621%)

Health Check

Network-wide execution health was clean: 1.1% failed transactions on Mar 13 (23.6K failed out of 2.23M), staying in the “normal and stable” range for the past week.

The main watch-items were localized:

• A medium-sized failure-rate uptick on “World Markets - Exchange” (6.5% around 14:00 UTC) versus its own baseline.
• TopStrike showing a concentrated, high-TPS burst with 100% failures—commonly consistent with bots competing for limited outcomes, deliberate throttling, or access-control conditions rather than a network problem.

The Takeaway

March 13 was a low-activity Friday: 26.0 TPS, 2.23M tx, and only 4.7K unique wallets—more “baseline churn” than broad growth. The day’s real signals were narrow: Kumbaya and Avon kept steady usage, while TopStrike and MBIRD produced spike-shaped activity that looks more mechanical than organic.

On the Road to TGE front, nothing moved in a decisive way: no apps cleared the $50K/day mark, and fees remained modest (Kumbaya at $14K; total $26K). If you’re tracking milestones, the canonical status page is still https://www.megaeth.com/token.
