When Vitalik personally backs your L2, you know something big is happening 👀

MegaETH just raised $470M with unprecedented backing from Ethereum's founding trio. Their bold claim? 100,000 TPS with 10ms blocks — fast enough that users can't feel the blockchain.

But here's the twist: 53% of tokens only unlock if they hit growth KPIs. No growth = no tokens.

Is this the L2 that finally enables real-time DeFi, or just expensive marketing?
