MegaETH, the Ethereum Layer 2 promising more than 100,000 transactions per second and sub-10-millisecond block times, confirmed Tuesday that Frontier, its mainnet beta, will go live in early December.
The rollout marks the first public deployment of the network, sixteen months after the project emerged from stealth in June 2024 with $20 million in funding led by Dragonfly.
Frontier will run for approximately one month. The team described the phase as a controlled beta rather than a full public launch.
“We have curated a set of partner applications which we will onboard throughout the month,” MegaETH wrote in an X post on November 18. Incentive programs and open access will not be available during this initial stage.

The project emphasized that users should expect possible downtime and technical issues typical of a beta environment.
MegaETH uses a single high-performance sequencer backed by specialized hardware to achieve its speed targets while remaining compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Testnet benchmarks earlier this year demonstrated sustained loads above 15k-20k TPS with latency under 10 milliseconds.
The launch comes as competition among Ethereum scaling solutions intensifies, with rival Layer 2 networks and high-throughput chains like Solana vying for dominance in on-chain trading and real-time applications.
Ethereum traded at $3,033 on November 19, down 5.31% on the day.
