PANews reported on January 30th that, according to The Block, Ethereum's Layer 2 network MegaETH has clarified its MEGA token release rules: 53% of the supply (5.3 billion tokens) will be released based on the achievement of four key performance indicators (KPIs) of the protocol, rather than based on a fixed schedule. These four KPIs are: 1. Ecosystem Growth: Measured by the total value locked in MegaETH and the supply of the USDM stablecoin. 2. MegaETH Decentralization: Following the L2 standardization "phases" model proposed by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. 3. Performance Improvement: Increasing network bandwidth and reducing latency. 4. Ethereum Ecosystem Decentralization: Including external milestones such as Ethereum's private transaction flow, client diversity, and the degree of centralization in block building.

Co-founder Namik Muduroglu stated that the tokens will be rewarded to holders who choose to stake MEGA. This means that token unlocking is linked to the success of the protocol, rather than time. If KPIs are not met, the relevant tokens will remain locked, and their future use may be decided by a vote.

Previously, it was reported that the MegaETH public mainnet would launch on February 9th. It is understood that its total token supply is 10 billion, with 53% allocated to KPI rewards, and the remainder distributed among the public sale (15%), venture capital (14.7%), the team/advisors (9.5%), and the foundation (7.5%).
