Whitepaper Reading Club - Real Time Blockchains
Community Reading: RealTime Blockchains
See what “10 ms blocks” look like – dive into MegaETH’s EVM design and the hardware-specialised sequencer/prover stack.
Ephemeral Rollups - keep composability without the lag – how to achieve 10–50 ms ticks yet settle back to the L1 intact.
Debate the end-game for scalable, trust-minimised apps – compare MegaETH’s node specialisation with ER’s horizontal scaling, trade offs in ZK vs optimistic proofs, and what “real-time” means for DeFi, gaming and beyond.

We create detailed and easy to understand summaries for each paper (summaries) and have held 30+ sessions since June 2023, covering topics from Account Abstraction, Parallel Chains, EIPs, Bitcoin Ecosystem to AIXCrypto. We are ecosystem-agnostic, not for profit and with a strong focus on projects with technical, product or social innovations.
