MegaETH co-founder Shuyao Kong said the board will be responsible for decisions that may include updating tokenomics with the community, conducting programmatic buybacks and investing in product lines. The responsibilities put the MEGA token ($MEGA) and the group’s product plans within the board’s remit. Kong described MEGA as having “no equity and one token: $MEGA.” He also said the board would make decisions about the organization’s product investments. The group’s [previously announced $30 million commitment to products built on MegaETH]() includes an AI inference marketplace planned for December. The marketplace was the first product identified under that commitment. The board responsibilities and network upgrades add governance and infrastructure plans to the product push. The four upgrades cover transaction processing, block production and resistance to censorship. Faster finality would shorten the time before a transaction counts as settled. Another change would rotate the sequencer, the network component that orders transactions, so block production does not remain with one team. A third upgrade would create a market where operators compete based on how quickly they connect to the sequencer. The fourth is real-time censorship resistance. Kong said resources are going toward all four changes, with the team aiming to finish decentralizing MegaETH by the end of the first quarter of 2027. MegaETH said the network will remain general-purpose and permissionless, and that teams building on it will continue to receive technical support. The network changes are in progress; the end-of-first-quarter 2027 date is the team’s target for completing decentralization. ## Links in this article - [previously announced $30 million commitment to products built on MegaETH](https://www.tokenpost.com/news/technology/54197)
