Key Highlights
- Wormhole has officially announced that MegaETH’s Frontier mainnet beta is being integrated on the platform
- The platform features a crucial day-one integration with Wormhole, which enables secure cross-chain interoperability
- The integration is supported by the platform’s own major momentum, including its selection by Ripple for the RLUSD stablecoin expansion
In the latest post on X, Wormhole, a leading Layer-2 solution on the Ethereum blockchain, has announced the onboarding of MegaETH’s Frontier.

This comes after MegaETH has officially launched its Frontier Mainnet beta, which changes course from simple testing networks to a live, developer-centric platform. The Frontier environment is now open for whitelisted developers to deploy and stress-test their applications in real-time ahead of the public mainnet.
This phase is important for builders in order to prepare for what MegaETH calls the “real-time blockchain,” which is a network developed for better performance.
Secret Behind MegaETH’s Speed
The major features of MegaETH are its incredible speed and scale. The project is expected to achieve 100,000 transactions per second with sub-millisecond latency, which is enough to fulfill the growing demands of modern decentralized applications.
This performance is powered by technical innovations like Pi Squared’s dual-KEVM verification system, which ensures correctness and real-time execution.
Early developer tests on Frontier have already reported speeds between 15,000 and 20,000 transactions per second, with over 869,000 transactions processed so far. The ecosystem is growing rapidly, now tracking 10 applications.
MegaETH’s development is backed by staggering funding and major partnerships with industry names like Mayan Finance, LayerZero, Magic Eden, and Alchemy.
Wormhole Integration From Day One
A major feature of the Frontier launch is its immediate integration with Wormhole, which is a leading interoperability platform. This integration is very important and designed to provide developers with impressive cross-chain capabilities from the very beginning.
Its Native Token Transfers standard allows assets to move easily between blockchains in a secure manner, without the need for wrapped tokens. For builders on MegaETH’s Frontier, this means that they can immediately create applications that interact with multiple chains using Wormhole’s established infrastructure.
Through partners like Mayan Finance, developers can execute instant cross-chain token swaps directly into their applications. Users’ reports from early tests show a smooth experience, with balances updating instantly in a manner that can give good competition to traditional web applications. This focus on reducing user friction is the main part of the integration.
Wormhole Brings Credibility with New Integrations
After its inception, the platform has witnessed a remarkable growth, which also provides credibility to MegaETH’s infrastructure decision. One of the major developments was Ripple’s adoption of Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers standard for its $1.3 billion RLUSD stablecoin.
Configurable yield is the new standard for onchain money.
The next generation of stablecoins is yield bearing and built on platforms like @m0, powering giants like @MetaMask’s $mUSD.

In December 2025, Ripple announced plans to expand RLUSD to Ethereum Layer-2 networks, including Optimism, Coinbase’s Base, Unichain, and Ink, pending regulatory approvals. This partnership uses Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging to move liquidity. This is expected to achieve larger stablecoin use in decentralized finance.
Furthermore, the platform is integrated with Hyperliquid, which is a high-performance decentralized exchange for perpetual contracts. In August 2025, the platform went live by supporting Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM.
By September, Hyperliquid’s native HYPE token became multichain on Base, Solana, and Unichain via the platform’s standard. There are many other integrations, like with Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol version 2 for USDC transfers. It also makes the platform institutional-level applications.
