MEGA is a ticker with multiple lives. On BNB Chain, “Make Europe Great Again (MEGA)” is a BEP-20 meme coin traded mainly on PancakeSwap v2. Separately, there’s an unrelated MegaETH project that also uses the symbol $MEGA for an Ethereum-focused Layer-2 token. This guide helps you tell them apart, verify the BNB Chain contract, and trade more safely.

Not the same as MegaETH’s $MEGA
MegaETH (also using the ticker $MEGA) is described as an ERC-20 token designed for a high-performance Ethereum Layer-2:
- Purpose: Power a Layer-2 network aiming at very high throughput (targets up to 100,000 TPS) and low latency.
- Backing and team: Reported ties to notable Ethereum figures via MegaLabs.
- Status: Contract address TBA; tokenomics not finalized publicly; pre-market interest has emerged on third-party venues.
- Key point: This is a different project from the BNB Chain “Make Europe Great Again” MEGA. Do not assume that any BNB Chain MEGA is MegaETH.
Before acting on “$MEGA” headlines or social posts, verify whether the discussion refers to:
- BNB Chain “Make Europe Great Again” MEGA (the token covered here), or
- The Ethereum Layer-2 MegaETH ($MEGA) initiative shared by the project’s official channels (see megaeth.io).
Contract quick read (BNB Chain MEGA)
You can review the source and functions on BscScan. Notable points:
- Common ERC/BEP-20 functions:
owner(),allowance(),transferFrom(),_approve(),_mint() - Supply and reward-related:
cap(),allocationForRewards() - Utility/admin:
clearETH()(often used to withdraw native-chain funds held by the contract) - SafeMath usage: The contract uses the SafeMath library to reduce arithmetic overflow/underflow bugs.
- Audit status: No public audit was listed at the time of review.
What it means for you:
- Owner/admin functions can affect token behavior. Read the code notes on BscScan and check for renounced ownership or time locks where relevant.
- “Clear” functions can move native assets—understand who can call them.
- Absence of an audit increases risk; rely on your own due diligence.
