PLAY OF THE WEEK
5 Promising MegaETH Apps
Bankless Analyst: Jack Inabinet

MegaETH promises to unlock a new generation of onchain experiences that simply weren’t possible before. With settlement measured in milliseconds and throughput measured in the hundreds of thousands, this L2 blockchain truly appears to be the “real-time Ethereum.”

In an outward manifestation of community enthusiasm for this project, MegaETH’s ICO raised $50M in a matter of minutes earlier this week, the latest in a series of grassroots fundraising efforts that have collectively raised nearly $75M from public investors across various offering formats.

Although the exact timeline to MegaETH mainnet remains unknown, deployment is expected before the end of the year, and a testnet version is already live. Today, we unpack five leading MegaETH applications you can explore to stay ahead of the curve come mainnet!

p.s. Before experimenting, grab testnet ETH from MegaETH’s faucet and add MegaETH to your wallet. You can discover more MegaETH projects by visiting the “Fluffle Tools” portal.

🌩️ Valhalla

Website | Twitter
Status: Testnet

Incubated by MegaMaffia – the Mega ecosystem accelerator incubating “visionary founders building 0-to-1 apps only possible on MegaETH” – Valhalla aspires to become the leading MegaETH-native perpetuals DEX.

Valhalla wants to create a performant, yet composable, exchange that is capable of delivering centralized performance with complete DeFi ecosystem integrations. It will attempt to tackle classical pain points in onchain trading (most notably: latency, limited composability, and fragmented liquidity) by leveraging the high-throughput capabilities of MegaETH.

The Valhalla Testnet is now live, serving as a public sandbox for traders and developers to explore the platform before mainnet deployment. Additional details on the impending mainnet launch and an airdrop points program are being teased for the near future.

🦕 Bronto

Website | Twitter
Status: Testnet

Bronto is set to become the native MetaDEX on MegaETH – think Aerodrome for the Mega ecosystem – powered by concentrated liquidity pools, a ve(3,3) token model, dynamic fees, and a user-centric design.

Thanks to MegaETH’s lightning fast blocktimes and extremely juiced throughput, Bronto believes it can outcompete major centralized exchanges by combining CEX speed with the security and trust guarantees of a DEX.

Bronto has an ongoing points program that will reward early supporters with veBRONTO upon TGE. Users can earn points through swapping tokens, adding liquidity, locking BRONTO, voting on pools, referring new users, and community contributions. Position for a future Bronto airdrop by interacting with the testnet app today.

🐰 HOP Network

Website | Twitter
Status: Concept

HOP is building the Portal Network, a decentralized mesh of nodes that lets users hop around the internet freely, instantly, and anonymously. Built on MegaETH and secured by EigenLayer, HOP hopes to redefine digital mobility by delivering near-instant, censorship-resistant connectivity with enterprise-grade reliability.

While traditional VPNs rely on fixed, censorable servers, HOP uses a multi-hop architecture across distributed nodes, ensuring no single point of failure or visibility. The result is faster, private, and unblockable internet access that “just works.”

Under the hood, MegaETH will enable millisecond-speed relays, meanwhile, EigenLayer’s AVS operators will guarantee uptime and performance via restaked professional infrastructure. Join HOP Network’s waitlist and follow the protocol on X to stay apprised of the latest updates.

🌄 Showdown

Website | Twitter
Status: Open Alpha

Imagine online poker supercharged with action cards. Created by top professional players of poker, Hearthstone, and Magic the Gathering, Showdown proclaims itself the “perfect blend” of these competitive card games.

Showdown claims to prioritize balanced game play, blending the best mechanics of leading card games while addressing their flaws to create a rewarding experience for all players. While large skill gaps and automated bots undermine fair competition in traditional online poker, Showdown’s deep gameplay hopes to help prevent bots and ensure a level playing field.

On October 24, Showdown shipped “Open Alpha” of its crypto-enabled poker game as free-to-play and available to everyone. Just follow the link in the post below to get started with Showdown.

🪽 Euphoria

Website | Twitter
Status: Concept

Born to disrupt sterile finance, Euphoria is reimagining derivatives trading as something human, social, and fun. This project’s tagline – feel something – reflects its mission to turn speculation into a joyful, intuitive, mobile-first experience for the next generation of traders.

Euphoria introduces “Tap Trading,” a one-tap interface that abstracts away the technical complexity of trading options and futures while preserving their expressive power. By blending CLOB efficiency, social dynamics, and user-friendly interfaces, Euphoria transforms trading into an experience designed for dopamine.

Early Euphoria investor Figment Capital labeled this exchange, “the most innovative new DeFi application coming to market in recent memory,” and with a vision that treats hyper-speculation as a design challenge to optimize, it’s easy to see why.

Get started with Euphoria by joining the waitlist and following ecosystem social accounts, including Discord and Telegram.
