ENDGAME: How we’ve
achieved 10ms blocks.

I wrote this article and made the illustrations. It explains mini-blocks, how they fit alongside EVM blocks, and what that means for developers.

My published diagram shows the same transactions in two views: full-metadata EVM blocks above and smaller, more frequent mini-blocks below.

01 / The article

“10ms blocks” needs
an explanation.

The number is the headline. The useful part is understanding what a mini-block contains, which guarantees it carries, and how existing Ethereum tools can still work with the chain.

02 / The illustration

One chain.
Two views.

I drew the two block types side by side so readers could see the relationship before getting into metadata and RPC compatibility.

This is the design explained at publication, not a live performance report.

My original diagram puts EVM blocks and mini-blocks side by side, with the same transactions visible in either view.

SALT, with Sammy.

Sammy and I worked together on this explanation of SALT, MegaETH’s approach to state storage. The article uses a library analogy to explain why sparse state is expensive to store.

Sometimes the best way to explain
something is to let people try it.

Interactive explanation

How many
Polymarkets?

I made this site to give blockchain throughput a familiar unit: a Polymarket-sized app. Pick a chain and watch the comparison change.

It’s part explanation, part toy. The figures are illustrative capacity framing, not a claim about real-world app throughput.

Draft specification

EVM Charge

I coauthored the EVM Charge draft with Conner Swenberg and Kyle Scott: one-time ERC-20 payments through HTTP payment authentication.

Onchain application

MegaNames / .mega domains

My work on .mega names and the marketplace: a naming application on MegaETH, built on the wei-names foundation.

Original foundation by z0r0z. The market now lives at dotmega.domains.

Team tooling

MegaInternBot

I built a testnet faucet bot for team requests. It used a scoped MOSS vault, approved requesters and per-asset limits for ETH, USDM and MEGA.

A shipped team tool. No public demo linked.
