Real-time isn’t just “faster blocks” it’s a different contract with users. @megaeth is aiming to be Ethereum’s real-time execution layer: mini-blocks stream every few ms, so inputs feel instant and confirmations don’t wait for the next big batch. That’s why the UX lands like Web2, not “submit and pray.”
❯ What flips the table: mini-blocks for ~10ms cadence + node specialization to remove practical gas ceilings for heavier logic. Together they shrink latency and keep complex apps viable.
❯ Try it yourself: play Crossy Fluffle on Mega vs another chain your fingers will notice before your brain does.
I’m bullish because this isn’t “TPS theater.” It’s an event-driven model that makes every tx race to finality, with the rest of the stack (SALT, EigenDA, indexing partners) built to keep the data path hot. If you’re building, design for sub-second feedback loops: optimistic UI, idempotent writes, and a live index pipe. Then watch retention climb.
