Daily Transactions — 4 Weeks

Unique Wallets — 4 Weeks

At a Glance

Network↑: 29.1 TPS average, up from 28.6 TPS on May 05 (+2.0%)
Volume↑: 2.51M total transactions, up from 2.46M
Users↑: 8.8K unique wallets, up from 7.0K
Top app: Kumbaya led by transactions (8.3K txs) while GMX led gas (6,208 Mgas)
Health: normal (0.4% failed transactions at the network level)
Signal: a brief midday performance burst (gas peak 303.8 Mgas/s) coincided with elevated DEX/exchange routing activity

MegaETH looked stable on May 06: slightly higher throughput than May 05, with a clear step up in unique wallets while overall transaction volume stayed in the same ~2.5M/day band. Against the backdrop of improving DeFi conditions on-chain over the past week, the day read more like steady usage with a couple of short-lived spikes than a full-on surge.

TPS — Last 14 Days

The Week So Far

This week has settled into a more “normal” cadence after last week’s outsized burst (Apr 30–May 02). Even with activity declining over the last 7 days (-26.5% on the TPS trend), the weekly average TPS is still running higher than the prior week (33.2 TPS vs 27.0 TPS, +23.1%), helped by the unusually hot weekend (37.5 TPS avg vs 25.9 TPS last weekend, +44.6%).

From the network totals, May 04–May 06 are consistent on transactions (2.50M → 2.46M → 2.51M) while unique wallets rebounded meaningfully (8.8K on May 06 vs 7.0K on May 05). That’s a healthier shape than “TPS up, users flat,” and it suggests the post-spike comedown isn’t just a single cohort of automated flow.

DeFi TVL has also repriced higher on a weekly basis (+159.1% vs 7d ago, now $791.4M). Daily change was flat, but the magnitude of the weekly climb matters: it’s consistent with more capital sitting on-chain (and more stablecoin supply available) to keep DEX and routing activity busy, even while broader market sentiment remains measured.

The Day

May 06 was mostly even from hour to hour, with a gentle lift into early afternoon: TPS held a tight band (~27.5–32.6) and peaked at 32.6 TPS at 13:00 UTC in the hourly view.

TPS — Today Hourly

Under that steady surface, there were two notable micro-bursts picked up by performance alerts:

A brief TPS spike to 103.0 TPS around 15:00 UTC, with TopStrike cited as the top contributor in that window.
A sharp gas spike to 303.8 Mgas/s around 13:48 UTC, with Kumbaya the top gas contributor in that window.

On the app side, the leaderboard was DEX-forward:

Kumbaya topped transaction count (8.3K txs, 5,777 Mgas, 1266 unique callers), but its 24h volume was also flagged as down versus the prior window (-59% to 5,936 txs). Net: still the day’s main venue, just less frenetic than the prior period.
GMX was the gas heavyweight (6,208 Mgas on 1.3K txs), which fits with a “fewer, heavier” execution profile.
Prism (3.7K txs) and Pump Party (5.3K txs) rounded out the higher-frequency DeFi traffic.
On gaming, TopStrike posted 1.3K txs with 86 unique callers, and Showdown showed 1.7K txs but from 1 unique caller—activity that reads as highly automated or single-operator.

Top DApps — 24h Transactions

A few contract-level moves stood out:

Contract volume jumped hard on 0x9a70883ad51f8846a167f98dd0f96a3481faa1d5 (1,090 txs; +1198% vs the previous 24h window): https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x9a70883ad51f8846a167f98dd0f96a3481faa1d5
A short-lived “flash” contract, 0x6a96c218e525c5c2f36e7a171b5438c58dd18bef, ran 1,814 txs from 2 callers and then went quiet—classic automation/test pattern: https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x6a96c218e525c5c2f36e7a171b5438c58dd18bef
Routing / exchange activity spiked around 13:00 UTC on World Markets - Exchange (15,890 tx/h) and on GamingBattleManager (475 tx/h). Earlier, KyberSwap - MetaAggregationRouterV2 spiked at 00:00 UTC (579 tx/h).

For more context on where these bursts sit in the broader mix, the live views on the Network Heatmap and Insights pages are the fastest way to sanity-check whether this was organic demand, routing concentration, or bot-heavy flow.

Health Check

Network-level reliability improved versus May 05: 0.4% failed transactions (9.1K failed) on May 06 vs 0.7% (17.4K failed) on May 05. Nothing alarming at the chain level.

There were, however, a few localized failure spikes worth noting (often consistent with bots, race conditions, or deliberate reverts during high-competition execution):

0x1b5ab7c503c2b1d94e7c42b212b4f944f7c77fce hit 12.3% failures around 17:00 UTC (81/661 failed): https://miniblocks.io/contracts/0x1b5ab7c503c2b1d94e7c42b212b4f944f7c77fce
Kumbaya saw a 10.3% failure spike around 15:00 UTC (20/195 failed), coinciding with the period of elevated performance activity.
The “flash” contract 0x6a96c218e525c5c2f36e7a171b5438c58dd18bef showed 97% failures during its brief active window—strong signal of automated probing rather than normal user flow.

The Takeaway

May 06 was a steady, slightly improving day: 29.1 TPS, 2.51M transactions, and a meaningful jump to 8.8K unique wallets, with network-level failures staying low. The main story is concentrated DeFi/routing activity creating short-lived spikes (not a sustained throughput regime change), while the ecosystem’s larger weekly TVL expansion continues to provide a supportive backdrop for DEX-heavy days.

On the TGE watch, there was no visible milestone change: “Live Mafia Apps” remains at 6/10, with Kumbaya and Showdown among the qualified set, but the fee and USDm tracks show no progress yet per the program status at https://www.megaeth.com/token.
