Summary

MegaETH co-founder Namik Muduroglu announced that 53% of the MEGA token supply will be unlocked only after achieving major protocol milestones, rather than following a time-based vesting. These milestones include reaching target total value locked (TVL), achieving Layer 2 decentralization, meeting protocol performance standards, and hitting Ethereum community-related goals. The change addresses concerns over low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuation (FDV) token models, with rewards to be distributed to MEGA stakers after milestone completion. The mainnet launch is set for February 9.

Terms & Concepts
  • Total Value Locked (TVL): The total amount of assets deposited in a blockchain protocol, often used to measure its usage and trust.
  • Layer 2 (L2): A secondary blockchain built atop a main network like Ethereum to improve scalability and reduce transaction costs.
  • Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV): The market capitalization of a cryptocurrency if all possible tokens were in circulation at the current price.
