Why MegaETH Trusts Ethereum’s Escape Hatch

The DCo Podcast

Crypto

Key Takeaways:


1. Trust Ethereum, Not Just the Rollup: MegaETH's security model fundamentally relies on users trusting Ethereum's liveness and escape hatch mechanism to guarantee fund safety and eventual transaction correctness, acknowledging its own lack of *real-time* censorship resistance.


2. Focus on Practical Guarantees: The emphasis shifts from the abstract ideal of "decentralization" to concrete properties like liveness and the *ability* to exit (censorship resistance), even if delayed via Ethereum settlement.


3. Modular Security is the Trend: MegaETH exemplifies the modular blockchain thesis where Layer 2 solutions inherit security from a robust base layer (Ethereum), with future developments likely deepening this integration (e.g., base/native rollups).
