Community AMA: MegaETH’s Vision for Real-Time Blockchain Applications

Blockchain infrastructure conversations are evolving quickly.

For years, the focus was mostly around throughput, fees, and transaction speeds. But as more consumer-facing applications enter crypto, the discussion is gradually shifting toward a different question: can blockchain applications eventually feel as seamless as the apps people already use every day?

That was one of the major topics discussed during a recent Bybit Community AMA featuring Shuyao Kong, Co-founder of MegaETH.

During the session, Shuyao shared MegaETH’s broader vision for real-time blockchain infrastructure, improving crypto user experience, ecosystem development, and why the team believes usability will become one of the most important factors for the next generation of onchain applications.

Building Beyond Just Infrastructure

According to Shuyao, MegaETH was never intended to become “just another blockchain.”

The project originally started from an internal workshop discussion where the team asked a simple question: what would blockchain technology look like if users didn’t even realize they were interacting with something onchain?

“The goal is not to produce another blockchain. The goal is to give people onchain experiences in a way that they don’t even know it’s onchain.”

That direction eventually led MegaETH toward building a broader stack composed of three major products:

• A real-time blockchain infrastructure layer
• M(OS)S, an operating system for crypto interactions
• USDm, MegaETH’s native stablecoin

Rather than focusing purely on throughput metrics, MegaETH is heavily focused on reducing latency and making blockchain applications feel smoother and more responsive for users.

What MegaETH Means by “Real-Time Blockchain”

One of the biggest topics raised by the community was the meaning behind MegaETH’s “real-time blockchain” narrative.

According to Shuyao, the idea is centered around removing friction from blockchain interactions entirely.

“Real time is our answer to say this thing is so fast you don’t feel it.”

For users, that means applications feel more immediate and interactive instead of constantly waiting for confirmations or delayed responses. For builders, it creates room to experiment with products that rely much more heavily on responsiveness and live interaction.

During the AMA, Shuyao highlighted several categories where MegaETH is already seeing experimentation from developers:

• Interactive trading applications
• AI-related infrastructure
• Real-time gaming experiences
• Social applications
• Supply-chain-related AI products

The broader idea is that faster infrastructure changes not only performance metrics, but also the types of applications developers are willing to build onchain.

Moving Beyond Blockchain Tradeoffs

The community also raised questions around scalability, decentralization, and Ethereum alignment.

Historically, high-performance infrastructure projects have often been associated with tradeoffs between scalability and decentralization. However, Shuyao explained that MegaETH increasingly views many of those tradeoffs as engineering challenges that can improve over time.

“As technologists, our goal is to not have tradeoffs.”

According to Shuyao, improvements in zero-knowledge technology, sequencing design, and infrastructure architecture are gradually reducing many of the compromises traditionally associated with blockchain scaling.

At the same time, MegaETH’s focus is shifting more heavily toward improving the broader user experience surrounding blockchain interactions instead of concentrating only on technical benchmarks.

Building an Ecosystem Around Builders

Beyond infrastructure itself, MegaETH is also expanding its ecosystem through MegaMafia, a network of projects and builders developing within the ecosystem.

According to Shuyao, the team looks for two major qualities when evaluating projects:

• Founders deeply committed to crypto long term
• Teams with unique insight into the sectors they are building for

“We want someone who’s very creative and has unique insight on the sector they want to build.”

Several examples shared during the AMA reflected that direction.

One project is focused on redesigning options trading user experience to make it more intuitive for everyday users. Another involves founders from Silicon Valley with strong AI backgrounds building infrastructure related to AI supply chains.

Rather than focusing only on traditional crypto-native products, MegaETH appears increasingly interested in supporting teams building entirely new types of onchain experiences.

Why MegaETH Introduced USDm

Stablecoins also became an important topic during the discussion.

Instead of relying entirely on third-party stablecoins, MegaETH launched USDm as a native ecosystem stablecoin tied closely to the network’s broader economic activity.

According to Shuyao, the decision was heavily connected to how value flows through blockchain ecosystems.

“If we have our own native stablecoin, then the yield goes back to the ecosystem.”

The team believes ecosystem-native stablecoins allow more value generation and economic coordination to remain within the network itself instead of depending entirely on external infrastructure providers.

This approach reflects a growing trend across newer blockchain ecosystems looking to strengthen liquidity coordination and ecosystem participation internally.

Solving Wallet Fragmentation With M(OS)S

One of the most discussed products during the AMA was M(OS)S, MegaETH’s operating system designed for interacting with crypto.

According to Shuyao, the idea was inspired largely by frustration with current wallet experiences.

Traditional wallets often feel clunky and disconnected, while newer onboarding systems can still create fragmented liquidity and repeated onboarding processes across applications.

“The biggest pain point actually comes from my own pain point. Every time you use a new app, it feels like starting over again — creating another wallet, funding it again, and dealing with a fragmented experience across different applications.”

M(OS)S aims to combine the flexibility of traditional wallets with a smoother onboarding experience and more unified interactions across applications.

The broader goal is reducing the amount of complexity users need to think about while interacting with crypto products.

Looking Ahead

Looking ahead over the next several months, Shuyao shared that MegaETH is preparing multiple upcoming product launches across both infrastructure and user-facing experiences.

The team is also continuing to experiment with ecosystem incentives and tokenomics tied to participation and network contribution.

While many details are still being finalized, MegaETH’s direction appears increasingly focused on combining infrastructure performance with a much more seamless crypto user experience.
