MegaETH stayed in a familiar weekend groove on Sunday: steady low-20s TPS, modest user counts, and concentrated activity in a couple of DeFi apps. The only real “event” was a late-day burst of throughput and gas, localized to one contract.
The Week So Far
The past week has been stable but a bit softer than the week before: this week averaged 24.1 TPS versus 26.3 TPS last week (-8.1%). The weekend dip pattern remains consistent, with this weekend averaging 23.5 TPS—slightly higher than last weekend’s 23.0 TPS (+2.3%), but still clearly below weekday levels.
On the broader 4-week view, daily volume has been hovering around ~2.0M–2.2M transactions for most of the last two weeks (e.g., 2.03M–2.16M), and unique wallets have compressed into a much lower band (2.8K–4.7K), well off the earlier-month highs (notably 73.7K on Mar 8). Against a cautious macro backdrop, usage looks steady rather than expanding—quiet, but not fragile.
The Day
Sunday’s hour-to-hour rhythm was flat: most hours sat tightly around ~23.2–23.9 TPS, with only a mild sag in the early morning and a jump late in the day (26.3 TPS at 22:00 UTC). The real outliers happened in short windows rather than sustained demand.
App activity was dominated by DeFi:
- Kumbaya posted 11.9K txs, 3,428 Mgas, and 1,216 unique callers—healthy breadth for a weekend day.
- Avon followed with 7.9K txs, 2,624 Mgas, and 1,088 unique callers, reinforcing that most “real” interaction was concentrated in these two apps.
Gaming traffic was mixed and, in places, clearly automated or highly concentrated:
- Crossy Fluffle recorded 4.6K transactions but only 9 unique callers—high intensity per address.
- Showdown had 345 transactions from 1 unique caller, suggesting a single operator/session rather than broad play.
- Intraverse (301 txs, 6 callers) and TopStrike (61 txs, 13 callers) were comparatively small but more distributed than the top-heavy titles.
Other notable bits:
- Ferdy.bet put up 2.0K txs with 96 unique callers—modest but steady.
- Canonic saw 1.1K txs from 10 callers, again implying concentrated flow.
- GMX was quiet by count (32 txs) but meaningful by gas (204 Mgas), pointing to heavier per-tx execution than the average app mix.
The most important “single source” story was the contract-level burst from World Markets - Exchange:
- Network TPS peaked at 123.0 TPS at 22:41 UTC, with this contract the top contributor (513 tx in that window).
- Network gas peaked at 131.4 Mgas/s at 20:13 UTC, again led by the same contract (10.8 Mgas in that window).
- The contract itself hit 12,107 tx/h around 22:00 UTC (237% above its P95 of 3,590 tx/h).
These spikes were sharp enough to trigger performance alerts, but they didn’t materially change the day’s average TPS—suggesting brief bursts rather than a broad-based demand surge.
Health Check
Network health was clean on March 29: 0.3% failed transactions (7.1K failed out of 2.05M), improving substantially from Saturday’s 0.9%. That points away from generalized congestion or systemic issues.
The main anomaly was variance—short-lived extremes in TPS and gas per second—tied to a single contract (World Markets - Exchange). Patterns like this often come from automation, batch execution, or competitive transaction flows; by itself, it’s not evidence of user-facing problems.
The Takeaway
March 29 was a steady weekend day: low-20s TPS, ~2.0M transactions, and activity concentrated in Kumbaya and Avon. The only standout was a late, contract-driven burst from World Markets - Exchange that created eye-catching performance peaks without shifting daily averages.
On the Road to TGE, app qualification remains at 5/10 (with Kumbaya, Showdown, and Avon already on the qualified list), but fees are still far from the per-app threshold—no apps cleared $50K on March 29 (total fees: $13K). Progress tracking remains here: https://www.megaeth.com/token.
