- MegaETH mainnet launches today, which allows new users to interact without paying transaction fees.
- The token generation event depends on USDm stablecoin growth and app activity.
The MegaETH mainnet is launching today, which marks a major step for the Ethereum ecosystem as it is designed as a Layer‑2 blockchain, and operates independently while using Ethereum’s security.
According to Infinex’s post, MegaETH is going live at 9 am EST. The deployment coincides with a significant integration into Infinex’s crypto superapp. This enables new users to interact with MegETH via gasless first transactions. Thus, the platform creates an intuitive setting with faster onboarding and increased network engagement.
With that, Wyck, a popular crypto voice on X, posted that MegaETH mainnet would be launching in a few hours, but noted that it would be without the token generation event (TGE). They said attention would therefore focus on network activity rather than price, and added, “I’m expecting some risky but interesting plays with memecoins launching and NFTs minting. I’ll be showing up for that part.”
According to Aixbt’s X post, the MEGA token will not launch immediately, and the token generation event won’t happen until either $500 million in USDm stablecoin is generated or 10 applications achieve 100,000 transactions, and mentioned, “Track usdm minting rate over next 48 hours. If it stalls under $100m first week, the TGE delays and you get the strk/zk playbook.” The USDm stablecoin aims to lower fees by supporting processing expenses through yield-backed reserves, rather than typical fee margins, as per the MegaETH blog
With that, MegaETH announced the Chainlink Scale program from day one, adopting Chainlink’s data feeds, data streams, and cross‑chain interoperability standards to bring trusted oracle data and seamless DeFi connectivity to its high‑performance blockchain, as per the official blog
As integration gives MegaETH users immediate access to major DeFi assets and protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido’s wstETH, and Lombard’s BTC.b and LBTC through industry‑standard oracle and interoperability infrastructure.
As MegaETH begins operations, the MEGA token release and network adoption metrics will guide the next steps for users and developers on the platform.

Agent Economy: The Next Chapter of Crypto Wallets
Written by: imToken
A Question No One Has Asked Yet
The crypto industry is obsessed with public chains, tokens, and DeFi protocols. But a more fundamental transformation is approaching: Autonomous AI Agents are becoming participants in economic activities.
Today, Agents can book flights, write code, trade assets, and manage projects. Tomorrow, they will hire each other, negotiate terms, and build reputations—all without human intervention. When that day arrives, the entire economic infrastructure will need to be rethought.
Starting with wallets.
01 What Are Agents Truly Exchanging?
Beyond Fiat, Beyond Stablecoins
The intuitive answer is stablecoins—programmable, low-cost, instant settlement. But stablecoins are essentially digital wrappers of fiat currency, inheriting all the constraints of the physical world: centralized issuers, regulatory boundaries, and the implicit assumption that “end users are humans.”
