Press Release
MEGA Launches Natively on Solana Through Sunrise
One of the most anticipated token launches of the year is live on Solana from day one. MEGA, the native asset of MegaETH, has gone TGE today after a months-long wait stretching back to the network's original January 2026 timeline. Through Sunrise, MEGA is canonically issued on Solana from the first block, with active markets across Jupiter, Meteora, Mayan, Phantom, Solflare, and more — giving Solana users immediate access alongside every other venue on day one of launch.
A Real-Time Ethereum L2 Lands on Solana at TGE
MegaETH is a real-time Ethereum Layer 2 targeting 100,000 TPS with sub-millisecond block times. MEGA's TGE was gated on KPIs after its initial delay rather than on calendar dates: the first one — ten MegaMafia applications live on mainnet with real user activity — cleared on April 23, triggering today's launch.
Those ten applications span the categories MegaETH was designed for: stablecoin payments (Cap), trading (Kumbaya), onchain gaming (Showdown), lending (Avon), DePIN telecom (Ubitel), yield tokenization (Brix), and four others (World, Stomp, HitOne, Nectar AI). Together they're the proof point the network needed to release its native asset.
How a New Asset Lists on Solana on Day One
Sunrise is the asset gateway for Solana. It coordinates the bridging, liquidity, and ecosystem integration required for an asset to arrive on Solana with real, tradable markets from day one, across the DEXs, aggregators, and wallets where Solana users already operate.
For a new asset like MEGA, that means Solana market access at TGE without bespoke coordination, wrapped representations, or fragmented liquidity. The Solana ecosystem can now access highly anticipated new tokens like MEGA without waiting on weeks of bridging or infrastructure work: canonical Solana markets for assets like MEGA can go live the moment the asset hits the centralized exchanges.
“With Solana and MegaETH pushing the boundaries of speed, Sunrise is unlocking access to one of the deepest, most active on chain markets, connecting MEGA to a powerful community of users, liquidity, and applications.” — Saeed Badreg, CEO of Wormhole Labs
Solana now has a working pipeline for new assets to launch here the moment they launch anywhere. MEGA is the latest demonstration.
