Building the First Real-Time Blockchain
summary
MegaETH claims a real-time blockchain with 100,000 TPS and sub-1 ms latency by decoupling execution from consensus via node specialization (small set of optimized execution nodes plus decentralized watcher validators) and engineering: replacing expensive Merkle work (Merkle tree consumes 90% of CPU), JIT compilation, in‑memory execution and limited parallelization (only ~2–3x gain). Built features aimed for: centralized block production with decentralized validation, on-chain CLOBs, real-time betting and fully on‑chain games.
