The project aimed to raise just shy of $50 million, yet contributors overwhelmingly pledged upwards of $450 million within mere hours of the launch.
The sale commenced on October 27, enabling buyers to bid amounts between $2,650 and $186,282. Participants who agreed to lock their tokens for a year were given a 10% discount.

In total, 5% of the total supply of 10 billion tokens is being allocated through this sale.
Due to the overwhelming interest, not all participants will obtain the full amount they requested.
Brian Q, an analyst at Santiment, noted that the high level of concentrated buying might be a red flag. He posited that such activity could indicate short-lived excitement rather than a robust belief in the project’s future value.
He also raised concerns about whether this enthusiasm stemmed from FOMO rather than a testament to the underlying technology.
The MEGA token is projected to launch in January 2026, with plans to be accessible on select centralized and decentralized exchanges.
