The post MegaETH ICO Crosses $1 Billion in Commitments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The public token sale conducted via Sonar is oversubscribed by 20x, with just over nine hours until it closes. MegaETH, a highly anticipated ‘real-time’ Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, is set to wrap up its initial coin offering (ICO) at 9 am EST on Oct. 30, and despite the raise’s $50 million cap, more than $1 billion is competing for a MEGA token allocation.
