MegaETH cooled a bit on Friday after a stronger midweek run, but the network is still operating at a steady, familiar cadence. The more notable story on Apr 24 wasn’t sustained congestion—it was brief, outsized spikes (TPS in the morning, gas in the early evening) against otherwise stable throughput.
The Week So Far
This week has been broadly stable and slightly busier than last week: the 14-day view has Apr 20–Apr 24 mostly living in the high-20s TPS band, with 27.0 TPS as the week’s average versus 25.8 last week (+4.6%). Tuesday (Apr 21) was the busiest day in the last two weeks at 28.2 avg / 31.7 peak TPS, and Friday (Apr 24) eased back to 26.7 TPS.
On the “real usage” side, daily volume continues to cluster in the low-to-mid 2M range: Apr 21 and Apr 22 both printed 2.43M total transactions, then Apr 23 at 2.41M, and Apr 24 at 2.30M. Unique wallets have been the bigger swing factor lately—Apr 24 reached 5.8K, matching the strongest days in the last four weeks (also seen on Apr 8), even as total transactions dipped.
Failure rates have also been notably well-behaved: after a one-day pop to 1.8% on Apr 16, the network has settled into a run of 0.1% since Apr 19.
The Day
Apr 24’s hourly rhythm was mostly flat, with an early lull and a mild afternoon lift. The only obvious soft spot in the hourly averages was 01:00 UTC (21.9 TPS), while the day’s firmest stretch was 13:00–16:00 UTC (28.1–28.4 TPS). The bigger “events” were brief enough to sit inside the hour: the network printed a 76.0 TPS peak at 07:11 UTC, well above the day’s baseline.
Apps-wise, activity skewed toward gaming by transaction count, but DeFi remained the main driver of distinct participation:
- Crossy Fluffle (dapp) led the 24h leaderboard with 6.5K txs (633 Mgas, 33 unique callers) and was flagged for a major step-up (+464% vs its previous 24h). It also aligned with the morning burst: the detector attributes the 76.0 TPS spike window to Crossy Fluffle (1,146 tx in that slice), and noted a Crossy Fluffle hourly spike of 3,783 tx/h around 07:00 UTC.
- Kumbaya (dapp) remained the day’s heavyweight by gas and a key social signal: 2.5K txs but 5,184 Mgas and 1,096 unique callers. Even with that footprint, the detector still marked Kumbaya volume down (-56% vs its prior 24h), suggesting fewer repeats/bots or less “churn” rather than a collapse in reach.
- Avon (dapp) was the broadest by unique callers at 1,420, on 1.7K txs and 584 Mgas—more consistent with distributed, human-scale usage than concentrated automation.
A few “mechanical” patterns were also visible:
- Showdown (dapp) posted 543 txs from 1 unique caller, and Canonic (dapp) saw 955 txs from 7 unique callers—both shapes that often reflect scripted execution.
- The CommitReveal contract (0x6ca22286d318250c823e38f741da26878e96fc4d) was flagged down (-55% vs prior 24h) but still printed an hourly spike of 1,001 tx/h around 16:00 UTC—consistent with scheduled or batch-driven usage.
- A separate contract, 0x12759afca690637b425ffba3265f0dc2f6242a8d (contract page), spiked to 2,246 tx/h around 05:00 UTC.
Health Check
From a network perspective, Apr 24 was clean: 1.2K failed transactions out of 2.30M total (0.1%). That’s in line with the very low failure regime MegaETH has been in since Apr 19—nothing here suggests broad user impact.
The one item worth monitoring is the outlier gas burst: network gas per second peaked at 502.7 Mgas/s at 18:01 UTC (flagged as 17489% above the 24h P95 of 2.9 Mgas/s). The detector points to 0xdc24cea2ba7b6ed0b54f907087d70aadb99b26ef as the top contributor in that window (28.5 Mgas), which is a good starting point for anyone doing root-cause analysis in the contracts explorer or via the Dashboard. A single burst like this can be benign (batching, edge-case workloads, automation), but it’s unusual enough to keep on a short watchlist.
The Takeaway
Apr 24 was a slightly quieter Friday by TPS and total transactions, but it still brought strong unique-wallet participation (5.8K)—a constructive sign given broader market sentiment remains cautious. Gaming (led by Crossy Fluffle) drove sharp, short-lived spikes, while DeFi usage stayed broad through Avon and high-gas execution on Kumbaya.
On the “Road to TGE” front, the Live Mafia Apps criterion remains fully complete (10/10), but fee streaks still aren’t close to the per-app threshold (0 apps above $50K on Apr 24); USDM progress sits at $63.0M toward $500M. Details: https://www.megaeth.com/token.
