Key Highlights
- •The Ethereum Layer-2 network MegaETH's initial coin offering was oversubscribed within five minutes, attracting $360.8 million in commitments.
- •This oversubscription led to a hypothetical fully diluted valuation of $7.2 billion.
Oversubscribed Offering
MegaETH, an Ethereum Layer-2 network, launched its initial coin offering on October 27, which was quickly oversubscribed.
The offering attracted a staggering $360.8 million in commitments at a ceiling price of $0.0999 per token.
Impressive Valuation and User Engagement
The oversubscription resulted in a hypothetical fully diluted valuation of $7.2 billion. However, the official post-allocation FDV will be $999 million once the final distributions are calculated against the $49.95 million raise cap.
The public sale of MegaETH saw a remarkable response, with more than 100,000 users completing know-your-customer procedures ahead of the sale.
In the first two hours, Arkham Intelligence reported that 819 addresses had committed the maximum individual amount of $186,282 in USDT to the MegaETH sale.
Allocation Strategy and Project Background
Due to the overwhelming demand, MegaETH will determine final allocations by assessing participants’ past engagement with the MegaETH and Ethereum communities.
US-based participants are required to lock their tokens for one year, while non-US participants can choose optional lockups that may improve allocation chances.
MegaETH gained attention after its testnet launch in March 2025, which aims to achieve 100,000+ transactions per second with block times under 10 milliseconds.
The project had previously completed a $20 million seed funding round in June 2024.
Token Generation Event and Market Context
The Token Generation Event is estimated to occur in January 2026, at least 40 days after the sale concludes.
The MEGA token launch will enter a market facing significant supply pressure from upcoming token unlocks totaling over $650 million across various altcoin projects.
