Episode notes
INSIGHT

New L2 Enables Real-Time Apps

  • Current L2s only boost throughput or reduce latency by up to 10x but don't enable fundamentally new apps.
  • MegaETH targets real-time applications with infrastructure for new classes of user experiences.
INSIGHT

Real-Time Means Millisecond Blocks

  • Real-time means block times closer to 16 milliseconds (like 60 FPS in gaming) versus hundreds of milliseconds in current chains.
  • High-frequency trading requires faster reactions than present blockchain block times allow.
INSIGHT

Speed of Light Limits on Latency

  • Speed of light limits make ultra-low latency impossible globally; fastest execution requires regional co-location.
  • MegaETH accepts regionalization to achieve near TradFi speeds while decentralizing sequencer roles over time.
