ENDGAME: MAXING PERFORMANCE WITH LOW NODE SPECS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

MegaETH tackles the scalability bottleneck of redundant work by dividing network roles into four specialized node types: Sequencers that hold state in RAM and produce 10 ms blocks, lightweight Provers that generate cryptographic proofs asynchronously, resource‑efficient Replicas that apply state diffs and verify them via proofs, and optional Full Nodes that re‑execute blocks for maximum trustlessness. This architecture eliminates the need for every node to perform every task, achieving 1.7 Gigagas/s throughput today without pricing out smaller participants thanks to minimal hardware requirements for Prover and Replica nodes. Sequencer rotation among a set of builders preserves decentralization, while Full Nodes offer a trust anchor for critical applications. MegaETH's long-term goal is 1ms block times and over 10 Gigagas/s capacity.
