The MegaETH Foundation has been renamed MEGA and plans to invest 30000000 USD in launching new products.
PANews November 10 reports, according to The Block, that the MegaETH Foundation behind the Ethereum Layer 2 network MegaETH has been renamed MEGA and will develop new products outside the network. Co-founder Shuyao Kong stated that MEGA will allocate 30000000 USD from its existing treasury for new product development, with the largest initiative being an AI inference market set to launch in December. This aims to make inference services from different providers more interchangeable, primarily targeting developers, and all new products will run on MegaETH. Kong said the team will use MEGA tokens in the inference market as much as possible, but did not specify the exact purpose. According to DefiLlama data, MegaETH's current TVL is approximately 12000000 USD, a significant drop from its peak of over 245000000 USD.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This change involves more than just renaming the foundation; it also includes plans to develop new products. The main product is an AI inference marketplace for developers, intended to make services from different providers more easily interchangeable. Funding and product launch remain plans and should not be treated as already completed.
Why it matters to readers
The plan expands MegaETH's new product direction to AI inference services; however, whether the product will launch and how the token will be used still require confirmation from follow-up information. The report also notes that the network's TVL has declined significantly, and one cannot conclude that network usage has improved solely based on the new product plan.
The foundation name MEGA, the MegaETH network, and the MEGA token should be distinguished: a foundation rename does not mean the token's purpose has been determined, nor does a development budget mean funds have already been spent or generated returns.
Risks and unknowns
The actual disbursement schedule and specific allocation of 30000000 USD have not been disclosed.
Whether the AI inference market can be launched as planned in December and its actual usage have not yet been confirmed.
The specific uses of MEGA tokens in the inference market are not specified, so it is impossible to assess their impact on actual demand.
The report did not explain the reasons for the decline in TVL, nor did it specify the exact time point at which the data were compiled.
