App Wave 3 Goes Live

MegaETH has officially rolled out Wave 3 on its Terminal points platform, expanding the active app roster with five fresh additions. The studio confirmed the launch with a single line: App Wave 3 is now live on Terminal, with five new apps added to the roster and individual app intros following in the announcement thread.

The Wave 3 expansion arrives alongside a steady stream of Terminal-related activity since the platform first launched on April 28, 2026. With Season 1 running through June 23 across an 8-week window, the new app additions give players additional venues to direct their pick-three weekly app rotation and stack their booster multipliers across.

What Wave 3 Brings

The five apps added to Terminal in this wave each occupy distinct corners of the MegaETH ecosystem. AveForge, the fast-paced mech arena game incubated by BadBunnz, joins as one of the most prominent gaming additions to the Terminal lineup. Offshore Protocol, a money laundering simulator that launched on MegaETH earlier this year, joins as one of the more unconventional consumer apps in the wave. Stomp, the Pokemon-meets-Smash Bros. style monster battler from 0xmons creator Owen Shen, also joins the Wave 3 roster after exiting pre-alpha last month.

The full Wave 3 lineup spans both gaming and broader consumer-app categories, with the studio's framing positioning each addition as a meaningful expansion of the surfaces players can engage with through Terminal. Each app comes with its own set of actions players can complete to start earning points, with the booster multipliers applied to the user's chosen pick-three rotation.

How AveForge Plugs Into Terminal

AveForge has confirmed its inclusion in Wave 3 with a direct message to players. Terminal is positioned as the venue where users can position around the MegaETH incentive program, and AveForge is now one of the apps eligible for the weekly rocket boost mechanic. Players are encouraged to boost AveForge weekly with a rocket and follow the actions listed in Terminal to get started.

The studio's framing for the Terminal integration is concise: gaming on MegaETH. AveForge is built as a fast-paced mech arena game where players fight PvE duels to earn gear, modules, and ETH. The PvE structure means players engage with the game through skill-based combat rather than waiting for matchmaking against other players, with progression tied to the gear and modules collected through duel performance.

The MegaETH Points layer sits on top of the gameplay loop, with every action in AveForge contributing to the user's overall position in Season 1. AveForge has also been working closely with BadBunnz, the team behind one of the strongest and most active communities on MegaETH, with the partnership shaping how the gaming layer of MegaETH develops across Terminal and beyond.

Stomp Joins the Wave 3 Roster

Stomp is one of the more notable inclusions in Wave 3. The fully onchain monster battler from 0xmons creator Owen Shen exited pre-alpha in late April with updated visuals, major gas optimizations, and an expanded monster roster. The game blends inspiration from Pokemon-style monster RPGs with the crossover energy of Smash Bros., with turn-based 1v1 PvP serving as the core competitive loop.

Stomp's Wave 3 placement gives Terminal players a fully onchain game to engage with through the points platform, with the title's roster spanning bulls, hypurrs, ghouls, miladies, llamas, and originals named Aurox, Ekineki, Ghouliath, Malalien, and Nirvamma. The technical backbone uses a hyper-experimental Solidity to TypeScript transpiler, commit-reveal flow, reused storage keys, and 50KB contracts that take advantage of MegaETH's higher contract size limits.

Stomp's inclusion validates the broader thesis Shen laid out in his "make onchain Fun again" blog earlier this year. The game runs without a token launch, without a presale, and without play-to-earn mechanics, with Wave 3 inclusion offering players a path to earn MegaETH Points through pure gameplay engagement rather than speculative trading.

Offshore Protocol's Unconventional Pitch

Offshore Protocol joins Wave 3 with one of the more direct positioning statements of any MegaETH application. The team built what it describes as a money laundering simulator, launched on MegaETH and now part of the Terminal points platform. The unusual category placement makes Offshore Protocol stand out from the broader app roster, with the simulator concept taking advantage of MegaETH's high-throughput execution layer to deliver real-time gameplay built around the protocol's central mechanic.

The inclusion in Wave 3 brings Offshore Protocol's user base into the broader Terminal ecosystem, with the booster multipliers and points stacking mechanics now applying to actions completed inside the protocol's interface. Players who select Offshore Protocol as one of their pick-three weekly apps will earn the standard Terminal multipliers on top of any internal rewards or progression mechanics the protocol runs natively.

How Terminal Works

For readers new to the platform, Terminal is MegaETH's points platform built around a live city-style app map that launched on April 28, 2026. Points show how actively each user has engaged with the network, and crucially they are not transferable and not a token. The system was designed to capture genuine ecosystem participation rather than allowing wallet-to-wallet point trading or Sybil farming.

The mechanics are tight by design. Players can pick up to three apps weekly, and only those selected apps benefit from the user's booster multiplier. The pick-and-stick structure forces users to make strategic choices about which apps they engage with each week, rewarding focus over scattershot interaction. Boosters come from ecosystem alignment, with holding Fluffle NFTs as the most prominent example. Each holding stacks into a combined multiplier that compounds across the user's chosen apps.

Terminal also includes Booster, Rank, and Clan sections alongside the main Apps view. Booster lets users check reward multipliers and unlock conditions. Rank tracks the user's leaderboard position and weekly momentum across Season 1. Clan handles NFT-based clan participation and community-based boost mechanics. The Guide section explains Season 1 rules, weekly recaps, and the broader points system.

Season 1 runs from April 28 to June 23, an 8-week window. Rewards are distributed at season end, giving the ecosystem a clear competitive cycle running directly through the post-TGE period after the MEGA token launched on April 30.

The Broader MegaETH Ecosystem

For readers new to the project, MegaETH is an Ethereum Layer 2 designed for real-time blockchain performance. The network targets sub-millisecond latency and over 100,000 transactions per second, with mainnet now live and the MEGA token having launched on April 30, 2026. The total MEGA supply is fixed at 10 billion tokens, with 53.3 percent released over time as staking rewards tied to four topline KPI goals.

The MegaMafia program, which has been one of the most consistent application acquisition initiatives across the network, continues to feed apps into the broader Terminal ecosystem. Existing applications across MegaETH include DEX Kumbaya, lending market Avon, stablecoin payments protocol Cap, decentralised telecom protocol Ubitel, prediction-style game World, monster battler Stomp, HitOne, Nectar AI, yield tokenization platform Brix, and Pump Party. Wave 3 extends this lineup with the five newly added apps, bringing the surface area of available Terminal participation steadily wider.

The Fluffle NFT collection, which originally raised roughly 10,000 ETH (around $27 million at the time) for the network through a community-funded fundraising round in February 2025, continues to function as one of the headline booster sources inside Terminal. Holding a Fluffle stacks a multiplier on top of the user's pick-three weekly app rotation, with the booster system giving early supporters compounding advantage across each season.

Why Wave 3 Matters Now

The expansion of Terminal's app roster with each successive wave is part of how MegaETH structures its ecosystem growth. Each wave brings new applications into the engagement loop, broadens the surface area available to Season 1 participants, and gives the network's developer base measurable traction signals through the points and boost mechanics.

The mix of apps in Wave 3 also reflects the diverse positioning MegaETH has taken across consumer Web3 categories. AveForge brings competitive gaming with PvE duels and gear progression. Stomp brings fully onchain monster battling with no token economy. Offshore Protocol brings an unconventional simulator concept that takes advantage of MegaETH's real-time execution. The combination signals that Terminal is positioning itself as a multi-category points platform rather than a pure gaming or pure DeFi loop.

For active Season 1 participants, the Wave 3 additions create new optionality. Players can rotate their pick-three weekly app selection to include AveForge, Stomp, or Offshore Protocol depending on which app's actions best fit their available time and current booster setup. The stacking dynamic across the season window means players who diversified their app exposure across the first two waves now have additional venues to direct their booster multipliers toward.

What Comes Next

Wave 3 is now live, with the five new apps each running their own action lists in Terminal that players can complete to start earning points. AveForge has confirmed its weekly rocket boost mechanic. Stomp is accessible at stomp.gg with the points integration through Terminal. Offshore Protocol is operational on MegaETH with its simulator gameplay live.

For Season 1 overall, the next signals to watch are the weekly leaderboard movements as players adjust their pick-three rotations to incorporate Wave 3 apps, the relative performance of gaming-focused apps versus consumer-app categories inside the Terminal points loop, and the broader engagement curve heading into the June 23 season end. With Wave 3 expanding the roster, Fluffle holders continuing to benefit from booster multiplier stacking, and the competitive ladder running through the next 6 weeks, the MegaETH Terminal ecosystem now sits at its widest point since launch.

Players can access Terminal directly at terminal.megaeth.com to browse the full Wave 3 lineup, set up their pick-three weekly selections, and start earning points toward the Season 1 reward distribution.
