MegaETH is an EVM-compatible blockchain with real-time Web 2.0–level performance. Learn more about MegaETH.

 has long been a formidable challenge for the blockchain industry. Most established chains maintain decentralization and security, but struggle with limited scalability while high-performance 

 (L1) blockchains often compromise decentralization to achieve high throughput. 

What if we could push throughput to unprecedented levels without compromising security or decentralization? 

Enter MegaETH — a project backed by industry leaders such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin and Dragonfly Capital. With the first real-time 

 (EVM)–compatible chain —i.e., one that can process transactions as soon as they arrive, and then publish the resulting state changes — MegaETH aims to redefine blockchain performance. In this article, we delve into the scaling limitations of current blockchains and examine how MegaETH aims to solve them. Let's dive in!

The blockchain trilemma has posed a significant challenge for 

 developers for years. As Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explains, distributed ledger networks can only achieve two out of three critical qualities (security, decentralization and scalability) by using simple techniques. 

As a result, most high-performance chains, such as Solana, Avalanche and BNB Chain, often compromise on decentralization or security to achieve scalability.

To address the scalability challenges of L1 networks, developers have introduced 

 (L2) solutions, which operate on top of blockchains such as Ethereum. These L2 chains achieve 

 (TPS) while leveraging the security and decentralization of their underlying L1s. However, according to MegaETH, both high-performance L1 and L2 networks fall short of meeting the demands of Web 2.0–scale applications, particularly in terms of 

As shown in the table above, the blockchain with the highest scalability, opBNB, achieves a gas rate of 100 MGas/s, equivalent to 650 Uniswap swaps or 3,700 

 transfers per second. In comparison, modern databases can 

 over 1 million TPC-C TPS. While Arbitrum One, the fastest chain listed, offers a block time of 0.25 seconds, this remains insufficient for applications requiring rapid feedback or high update rates. 

These limitations in both scalability and speed make current high-performance L1s and L2s ill-suited for Web 2.0 applications with significant computational demands.

 is an EVM-compatible blockchain with real-time Web 2.0–level performance. With the goal of bridging the gap between distributed ledger networks and traditional cloud computing servers, the project aims to push the performance of Ethereum-based L2s to hardware limits. As the first real-time blockchain, MegaETH can stream transactions at 100,000 TPS with transaction fees under $0.01, and provide millisecond-level responsiveness without sacrificing security or decentralization.

MegaLabs, the organization behind MegaETH, was founded in early 2023 by Shuyao Kong and Yilong Li. Holding an MBA from Harvard Business School, Kong has a background in business development within the blockchain industry. Prior to co-founding MegaLabs, she was the global head of business development at ConsenSys, where she continues to serve as an advisor.

As the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MegaLabs, Li has a PhD in computer science from Stanford University. An experienced software developer, he previously worked at Runtime Verification Inc., a firm specializing in software analysis tools and the application of formal methods to improve computing systems.

Together, Kong and Li founded MegaLabs in early 2023 to leverage their business development and computer science expertise to build MegaETH as the first real-time blockchain.

 $20 million of funding in a single seed round at a 9-figure valuation. The round was led by Dragonfly Capital, with other notable venture capitalists including Figment Capital, Folius Ventures, Robot Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Tangent Ventures and Credibly Neutral. In addition to VCs, MegaETH is backed by high-profile angel investors, such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, ConsenSys CEO Joseph Lubin and EigenLayer creator Sreeram Kannan.

 on crypto trader Cobie’s decentralized fundraising platform, Echo. The round was fully funded within minutes and oversubscribed, showing significant investor demand.

MegaETH achieves over 100,000 TPS with less than 1 ms latency and block time, as well as transaction fees under $0.01, via two core features: a heterogenous blockchain architecture and a hyper-optimized EVM execution environment.

MegaETH's heterogeneous blockchain architecture enables network nodes with different hardware configurations to specialize in specific tasks to boost performance.

There are three types of nodes: sequencers, full nodes and provers. With cutting-edge hardware, a small set of sequencers conduct performance-critical tasks such as transaction execution. Simultaneously, a massively decentralized network of full nodes performs security-critical duties such as block validation. Provers have the lowest hardware requirements, and focus on providing L2 proofs to full nodes.

Hyper-Optimized EVM Execution Environment

MegaETH provides a hyper-optimized EVM execution environment to push latency, throughput and resource efficiency to hardware limits. Consequently, the real-time blockchain can process large volumes of transactions as soon as they arrive, and publish the resulting state changes in a few milliseconds.

To enable real-time EVM execution, MegaETH co-designed a low-latency, streaming-based block-building algorithm with a concurrency control protocol supporting transaction prioritization.

MegaETH's real-time blockchain scales without sacrificing decentralization and security through the following key components and features.

 is an extension of the MegaETH core team. It consists of a group of 10x builders hand-picked by MegaETH developers. According to the project, MegaMafia participants have "an internal compass guiding them toward crypto's world domination."

MegaETH defines three common qualities for MegaMafia members:

MegaETH is setting a new standard for blockchain scalability, addressing long-standing limitations without compromising decentralization or security. By combining innovative architectural decisions with technologies like real-time EVM execution, in-memory computing and smart contract JIT compilation, this real-time L1 chain delivers unmatched performance tailored for Web 2.0–scale applications.

Supported by high-profile investors, such as Vitalik Buterin and Joseph Lubin, MegaETH is poised to bridge the gap between blockchain and traditional computing, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized applications. The project is on track to launch its testnet in early 2025, with the mainnet rollout soon thereafter.

 are automated computer programs that can help you buy low and sell high — place buy and sell orders at predetermined intervals within a predefined price range — automatically to capitalize on price fluctuations, especially in a volatile 24/7 crypto market.
But how does it work actually and can you really profit more substantially using a grid bot? Here's what you need to know about Bybit's Grid Bots.

orders in either price direction, creating a trading grid of orders waiting to be triggered. When the price hits your preset target, a buy order will be executed, and a sell order will be placed above on the next grid. When the price rises again to the next grid, the sell order will be executed, allowing you to profit from the price difference.

Whether you prefer owning the underlying and taking advantage of the volatility with the Spot market or dabbling with derivatives for increased leverage with the Futures market, Bybit has you covered with our Spot and Futures Grid Bots that will help take the emotions out of your trades and automate the tedious process of manually placing orders.

Suppose Trader A creates a Spot Grid Bot with the following parameters:

The system will calculate the actual amount in base token required to place an order and then automatically buy the corresponding amount of base token needed for the grid trading strategy by placing market orders.

When the grid trading strategy is successfully activated, the orders will be placed as follows:

When the BTC price hits 53,000 USDT, the buy order will be executed, and the sell order at 57,000 USDT will be placed above the next grid. When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, the sell order will be executed, and a buy order at 53,000 USDT will be placed — that is, a grid trade is now completed and profits are made from the price difference.

When the BTC price rises to 57,000 USDT, no buy/sell orders will be triggered. In a one-sided market, the BTC price rises to 61,000 USDT, which will trigger a sell order and place a buy order at 57,000 USDT. 

If the price continues to rise and reaches 65,000 USDT, a sell order will be placed at 65,000 USDT, and a buy order placed at 61,000 USDT.

Your grid bot will only operate in the upper and lower price bounds that have been configured. When the BTC price rises above 65,000 USDT or falls below 45,000 USDT, the strategy will be suspended and no new orders will be placed by the grid bot. 

If the market price falls outside of the price range, you can choose either to close the grid trading strategy to get the most out of your funds or wait for the price to return to the range you’ve set, at which time the strategy will resume. 

— Entry orders will be bought at the market price to ensure the successful execution of the grid strategy.

— Grid trading will be channeled directly through your Bybit Spot Account and Trading Bot Account. 

Grid trading is available for both desktop platform and app versions.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your first grid bot on Bybit.

Click on Create to begin the Grid Bot creation process.

 For this specific example, we'll be showcasing how you can create a Spot Grid Bot.

a. Create your grid bot with the following parameters:

b. You can click on Auto Fill to automatically enter intelligent parameter suggestions in your parameter settings. The recommended settings for AI parameters will be based on the historical data of the coin.

Please note that the higher the number of grids, the smaller the price intervals. This also means that your orders may be filled more frequently in a volatile market. However, your profits would be lower due to the multiple trading fees.

It’s important for you to understand how to calculate the profit of a grid trading strategy before creating your grid bot. The following is a guide to help you better understand the relationship between the different variables and the calculation of grid profit and total profit and loss.

Let's run an example to see how to calculate Grid Profit and Total P&L.

Suppose Trader A creates a grid trading strategy based on the following parameters:

Grid profits are realized from the auto buy and sell from the current grid trading strategy.

Grid Profit = Interval × Quantity of base token per grid (Buy Order) × Completed Grid Trade − Trading Fee

Trading Fee = Filled Order Quantity (Buy x Sell) x Trading Fee Rate x Sell Price

When the grid trading strategy is successfully activated, the base token required for the grid trading strategy will be automatically purchased, and the orders will be placed as follows: 

— You can view the quantity of each grid under 

— The quantity of sell orders is different from that of the buy orders due to the deduction of a 0.1% Spot trading fee.

When the BTC price hits 53,000 USDT, the buy order will be executed, and the sell order will be executed at 57,000 USDT, which will be placed above the next grid. When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, the sell order will be executed, and a buy order at 53,000 USDT will be placed. 

That is, a grid trade is completed and earns a profit of 341.81 USDT, based on the following calculation:

Grid Profit = 4,000 × 0.08795882 × 1 − 10.02 = 341.81 USDT

: Trading fee rates used here are for non-VIP users only. To learn more about Spot and Futures trading fees, please refer to 

The total profit is the grid profit plus the profit or loss of the base token.

Total Profit = (Equity of Base Token + Quote Token) − Total Investment

To view the value of the base token and quote token after the grid strategy has been successfully executed, please click on

on the right of the active grid bot column to enter the 

In this case, the position values ​​you can see under 

When the price rises to 57,000 USDT, Trader A's grid trading strategy completes a trade, profiting from the difference between 57,000 USDT and 53,000 USDT. As the price of BTC increases, so does the equity of the base token in your account: 

Total Profit = (57,000 × 0.17574172 + 14,452.26) − 23,610

Please note that when the base token value falls more than the profit earned by the grid bot, it will cause the total profit to turn negative.

Setting Up Your Copy Trade of Grid Trading

Leaderboard Explained: You can copy grid trading strategies by following the top-performing traders on the Grid Bot leaderboard. There are the following two ranking lists: 

Grid bots are ranked by total annual percentage rate (total APR), which is the sum of the profit or loss of the base token and grid profits. The rankings show the top ten performing grid bots based on the total APR performance over the past 24 hours and the past 7 days, respectively.

To learn more about how to calculate total APR, please refer to 

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create your copy trade order.

: Select a grid bot you want to follow and click on 

: Double-check the order information and click on

— The same trading strategy may not lead to the same profit level, due to different entry prices.
