Ethereum L1 achieves uncrackable security with zero counterparty risk and guaranteed 100% uptime - these are the foundation properties everyone relies on.

Building on top of that, MegaETH takes a different approach. It settles on ETH L1 for security guarantees while processing transactions at scale: 100k+ real-time TPS with near-zero fees. The architecture leverages L1 finality without sacrificing throughput, creating a practical trade-off between decentralization and performance that appeals to high-frequency use cases.
