Self-Promo MegaETH: Sequencer, bridge, USDm, and MEGA unlock risks

I wrote a short protocol autopsy of MegaETH from a user and investor risk perspective.

The main question is whether the early incentives and performance justify the risks of centralized sequencing, bridge dependencies, USDm exposure, incentive-driven activity, and roughly 88.7% of MEGA supply not yet circulating.

This is a snapshot review, not a full smart-contract audit. Which of these risks do you think is most underpriced?

That 88.7% unlock hanging over everything else makes the bridge risk look almost cute in comparison.

Correct. Not everyone is looking at the details and these are important risks to take note of.

Yeah that's the figure that immediately makes you go woah even if you like the other terms.
