Ethereum Layer 2 MegaETH (MegaStar) Testnet Now Live
This series will introduce a range of protocols incubated by Mega Mafia, providing readers with a clearer direction when exploring the ecosystem. Mega Mafia is the flagship accelerator program of MegaETH, aimed at helping developers with unique ideas to build one-of-a-kind protocols on the World Computer, rather than replicating already successful cases. In other words, don’t reinvent the wheel on MegaETH.

Rethinking the World Computer: From Technology to Ecosystem, How MegaStar MegaETH Became Ethereum’s Savior
Attention Economy as a New Track: Noise Trading Narrative and Mindshars
Noise is an attention economy trading platform on MegaETH. A large part of the crypto market has already detached from fundamentals, playing a narrative game instead. Currently, Noise appears to connect community platform APIs and trades the mindshares of whether a narrative will continue on-chain. All these transactions are verifiable on-chain.
A small detail is that Noise was introduced on December 4th, when Kaito Yapper hadn’t truly gained popularity, so the team was ahead of the curve in catching this trend.
MegaETH’s Version of Luma: Will Lemonade Spark a Revolution in Event Pages?
Those involved in crypto events will surely be familiar with Luma, and Lemonade is the MegaETH version of Luma. Officially described as a fully on-chain event platform, it currently supports cryptocurrency payments, though details still need clarification. It seems to have built-in domain name features and a points system on the page, so it might be worth registering. The author has already signed up for the MegaETH Testnet Launch event, possibly anticipating an airdrop.
Using MegaETH’s Performance, Hop Creates the Most Anonymous, Fast, and Censorship-Resistant VPN
Hop Network aims to create the most anonymous, fastest, and censorship-resistant VPN in the world. Currently, about 1.5 billion people use VPNs, driven by reasons such as government restrictions on website access and varying information provided by websites based on region.
The former is broadly defined as bypassing the Great Firewall, while the latter includes issues such as differences in Netflix content across countries or sports event schedules adjusted by country. For example, Japan prefers baseball, and if an Olympic event overlaps with a baseball game, viewers must bypass the firewall to other countries to watch the event. Data shows that VPN demand surges during international events. Hop does not transmit data on-chain; this is unnecessary. Instead, Hop leverages MegaETH’s fast block speed and nodes to provide low-latency service speed.
