It's not only about those big companies. The academia has its own problem. CS research nowadays is more about publishing papers instead of solving real, hard, general problems. I personally don't like doing research about applying an existing technique to a new application…
Google and facebook ruined CS. While I was in undergraduate phd meant working on a millennium problem. Because of the dot com crash there was a glut of software engineers and fb/google started only hiring phds. Which caused everyone to get a CS phd. No additional millennium…
Community standards are always pushed forward by its people. Now we set the realtime standard for 10ms.
people said 15 ms blocktimes were a meme guess what? @megaeth_labs testnet is now live with 10ms blocks
There has been a lot of internal discussions around the naming of mini blocks and whether it is catchy enough, so I wanted to share where we are coming from. Having been a researcher, I’ve observed a noticeable shift in how we name things. Older papers tend to keep names simple…

"Trained in Shenyang, China". Don't know how you get this info but this is really scary to me.🤯 I went to college and got my bachelor's degree in Shenyang. We did have some North Korean classmates who were so mysterious to us and never talked to other people. 😰 Recalling this…
Anne Neuberger, U.S. cybersecurity official, estimates 30% of North Korea’s missile program is funded by cybercrime. • Hackers are trained in Shenyang, China. • In 2022 alone, North Korea stole $1.7B in crypto.
Hacked despite of multisig. 🚨 No matter how perfectly secure the contract is designed, social engineering is always the first and foremost threat to every system. Maybe we've put too much attention on the security of the contract itself and neglected the weakness of the…
Hi community, I've opened an issue under Safe repo to explain how Bybit's Safe wallet was hacked on chain github.com/safe-global/sa…
🚀 What are we doing recently @megaeth_labs? 💥 We’re thrilled to unveil the first showcase of our relentless work towards making blockchain real-time 🐰. Tx confirmation latency with p95 < 20ms and p99 < 40ms at 10k tps. 🔥 But we’re just getting started! There’s still more…
gas gas gas 🎵 cannot resist the fun of having a realtime blockchain all to myself! I hope my ISP does not get upset with me spamming transactions to our staging environment…… 🌿 🐇💨

We’re truly living in a mega-speed era 🐰🚀. Spent a few days deep in our testnet preparation, and already it feels impossible to keep up with all the new updates on X. The pace is wild! 🤯 Stay tuned for MegaETH’s public testnet!🙌
MEV is considered a threat from day one since 2016 in academic. It is the nature of blockchain that it cannot be eliminated completely so we come up with flashbots, PBS, auction, etc. to reduce its bad influence. In fact, this is only a redistribution of assets instead of…
Correct, everything else that gets mentioned is a symptom of haziness around L1 value accrual in a rollup-centric roadmap There are 2 value accrual paths that often get discussed - cash flows or commodity/monetary value. Where the transactions occur impacts how both forms of…
The world computer has always been a dream of me since my day one on blockchain several years ago. Now I am making it happen. Still the same excited as the very beginning.
The World Computer should be measured by the innovations it enables, specifically through the applications that bring its potential to life Our core principle at MegaETH has always been to empower builders to create truly “zero-to-one” decentralized applications on crypto rails,…

Along with @rjdrost, @NamikMuduroglu, we spent the past two months writing this position paper megaeth.systems/revisitworldco… with comments and feedbacks from @VitalikButerin, @sreeramkannan, @post_polar_, @Austin_Federa, and @0xMegaMafia. Personal computers empower individuals to…
just received the latest mega testnet benchmarks. could not be more bullish. when mega is live, it will blow every other chain out of the water in terms of performance. get ready.
First day at #Devcon2024 🤩 As a blockchain researcher just switched from academia to industry, I can tell you this is so much better than any academia conference, ever. 📈 No rebuttal accepted.



A powerful sequencer is just one of many innovations at MegaETH. State sync plays a crucial role as every other part of the network. Behind the scenes, we’re doing more than you can imagine to achieve MEGA.
At MegaETH, we've emphasized that we're more than just a sequencer. Today, let’s dive into one reason why: the state sync challenge. State sync involves transferring the latest state changes from the sequencer to other nodes—a complex problem in blockchain infrastructure that’s…
"A chain is only as good as the applications it enables." I really like this one. Today’s innovations in the Ethereum ecosystem are constrained by limitations in capacity, like throughput and latency. It reminds me of the pre-2010 era, before deep learning surged—neural networks…
is eth heading towards an iceberg (and can it be stopped?) yesterday that was the topic of the panel that I was on. the short answer is: yes, eth is headed towards an iceberg, and yes it can be stopped. the reason why eth may die is very clear: more capital is leaving the l1…
