Saturday, April 11 was a typical “weekend dip” day in baseline throughput, but with two sharp, short-lived bursts that stood out against otherwise even traffic. Usage also cooled: fewer wallets showed up, and total transactions slid versus Friday.
Broader market conditions remain risk-off, and the onchain picture matched that: steady core usage, fewer new/returning senders, and activity concentrated in a handful of high-intensity contracts.
The Week So Far
MegaETH has been broadly stable across the last week: the recent 7-day TPS trend is essentially flat (-1.6%), and week-over-week average throughput is slightly higher (26.2 TPS this week vs 25.0 last week, +4.8%). The weekend pattern is intact—Saturday/Sunday dip, then a return to the mid/high-20s on weekdays—with this weekend so far running a bit hotter than last weekend (24.7 vs 23.6 avg TPS, +4.5%).
On raw network volume, daily totals have held in a fairly tight band around the low-to-mid 2M range, with the local high on April 7 at 2.34M and a softer print on April 11 at 2.15M. Unique wallets have been more jumpy: April 8 reached 5.8K, April 10 printed 5.6K, then April 11 fell back to 4.3K—still not a collapse, but a clear step down into the weekend.
Failure rates remain comfortably low by L2 standards. April 11 came in at 0.6%, and the last four weeks show only brief pockets above 1% (notably April 1 at 2.5%) rather than a persistent trend.
The Day
April 11’s hourly rhythm was steady and “flat-ish” through most of the day—mid-24 TPS for long stretches—then a mild ramp into the early evening (26.7 TPS at 18:00 UTC, 26.4 TPS at 19:00 UTC) before easing back to the mid-20s.
On apps, activity skewed toward a mix of GambleFi, lending, and lightweight gaming loops by transaction count:
- Ferdy.bet topped the tracked DApp list with 3.1K txs (1,028 Mgas) from 103 unique callers.
- Avon was the clearest “users” leader: 2.5K txs (855 Mgas) but 1209 unique callers, suggesting broad participation rather than a small number of power users.
- Crossy Fluffle and TopStrike added steady gaming throughput (2.5K txs and 706 txs respectively), with TopStrike also flagged for a +182% volume jump versus the prior 24h window.
DEX/DeFi execution was more about gas than transaction count. GMX posted only 739 txs on the leaderboard but consumed 3,438 Mgas, and separate rate-normalized monitoring flagged GMX volume down to 362 txs (-81% vs the previous 24h window). In other words: fewer interactions, but the interactions that did happen were still compute-heavy.
Two contract-level bursts are worth bookmarking:
- A short TPS spike to 73.0 TPS at 18:36 UTC was attributed to World Markets - Exchange, which drove 1,257 tx in that window. This looks like concentrated routing/automation rather than organic, network-wide acceleration.
- A gas spike to 301.7 Mgas/s at 06:47 UTC was attributed to Kumbaya activity (299.9 Mgas in that window). Notably, Kumbaya’s 24h tx volume was flagged as down (-51% to 1,985 txs in the monitored window), so this spike reads as “bursty, heavy executions” rather than sustained higher usage.
One more anomaly: 0x12759afca690637b425ffba3265f0dc2f6242a8d jumped to 2,780 txs (+657% vs the previous 24h window), and 0xea5df9b3872a80b05b878c09776a559bd8d4e6ac hit 688 tx/h around 15:00 UTC (22% above its P95). Both look consistent with automated batches or a time-based trigger rather than gradual user-driven growth.
Health Check
Network-level reliability on April 11 was clean: 0.6% failed transactions (13.8K failed out of 2.15M). That’s slightly higher than April 10’s 0.5%, but still well within the normal band seen across the past month.
The more interesting “health” signal wasn’t failure—it was burstiness. Micro-spikes like 73.0 TPS and 301.7 Mgas/s can be completely legitimate (bots reacting to price/queue conditions, scheduled jobs, or race-style contract mechanics). They’re worth watching mainly because they can temporarily distort per-hour averages and create localized contention, even when the day’s baseline looks calm.
The Takeaway
April 11 was a quieter Saturday by both volume (2.15M txs) and participation (4.3K wallets), with steady mid-20s TPS most hours—and a couple of sharp, contract-driven bursts that briefly pushed the network far above its normal micro-baseline.
On the “Road to TGE,” nothing materially moved on April 11: Live Mafia Apps stayed at 6/10, and fees were still modest (total fees $13K; no app above $50K/day). If you’re tracking which usage is likely to matter most for milestones, keep an eye on broad-wallet apps like Avon and compute-heavy venues like GMX and Kumbaya alongside the official status page at https://www.megaeth.com/token.
